Brian Eno hates the “arsehole chord” – but what exactly is it?Ambient pioneer and David Bowie collaborator Brian Eno has revealed his distaste for a certain chord, which he calls the “arsehole chord”.

Musicians often are tempted into ending a sequence with this chord, he says in a recent YouTube-based discussion with James Blake, who apparently did so on one of his most popular tracks to date, Retrograde.

“You once accused me of using the ‘arsehole chord”. Could you explain what the arsehole chord is?” Asks Blake.
“There’s a way of resolving things in songs which always disappoints me,” Eno responds. “You know, you have a sort of set-up, and then you think, ‘Don’t go to that one, don’t go to that one.’ And it goes to that one and you think, ‘Oh, God.’”
“That was in my most popular song, Retrograde,” Blake says.
“So it starts with a G major chord which is the nice chord. The bottom G in the right hand, I moved up to an A flat, just to see what that does, and that made it a kind of diminished over a G bass. That was when your head cocked, like a dog listening to a high pitch, and you said ‘That’s the arsehole chord’.”

The two go on to joke about how the awkward moment “impacted” Blake, with the Retrograde producer claiming it cost him a fictional “20k” in therapy fees before Eno explains further his distaste for the chord.
“For songwriters,” Eno says, “I really think they often think, ‘Oh, it’s all majors. I better put in a minor’. Fucking why? You don’t have to put sugar in everything you cook. I used to say, ‘Ban all minor chords,’ just to annoy people – just to make them think differently about what they were doing.”

Stability AI launches new text-to-music AI sound generatorStability AI – the company behind image generator Stable Diffusion – has announced the launch of Stable Audio, a new AI-powered text-to-music audio generator.
The new tool is Stability AI’s first foray into music and can generate high-quality music clips and sound effects of up to 90 seconds in length. It can also respond to detailed instructions on genre, instrumentation, mood, BPM and more.

Stable Audio was trained on a dataset of over 800,000 audio files from the stock music library AudioSparx. Stability AI says the new platform is “ideal for musicians seeking to create samples to use in their music”.
The examples they gave in a blog post of what the generator can do showed, for example, that it is capable of generating a music sample to any given BPM, something which previous AI music generators created by the likes of Meta and Google have so far not yet been capable of doing.
Stable Audio also has the advantage of being able to create structured musical ideas, thanks to it being trained to account for “audio file duration and start time” in addition to musical attributes like genre and instrumentation. This circumvents an issue many AI generators have had, whereby they have created random sections of a song that start or end in the middle of a phrase.
Stable Audio will generate audio samples of up to 20 seconds for free, while a paid version costing $11.99 a month will let users generate up to 500 tracks a month, each lasting up to 90 seconds.
“As the only independent, open and multimodal generative AI company, we are thrilled to use our expertise to develop a product in support of music creators,” said Emad Mostaque, CEO of Stability AI. “Our hope is that Stable Audio will empower music enthusiasts and creative professionals to generate new content with the help of AI, and we look forward to the endless innovations it will inspire.”

InMusic protest Serato sale to Pioneer DJ in New Zealand newspaper advertInMusic has protested to the sale of Serato by Pioneer DJ in a New Zealand newspaper advertisement.

READ MORE: Waves launches AI-powered mastering tool, Waves Online Mastering

In a post to Reddit, a user has shared a page of Wellington-based newspaper, The Post, which shows an advert written by InMusic, protesting the sale of Kiwi-owned Serato by Pioneer DJ.
According to the ad, which was published yesterday (18 September), USA-based InMusic believes that the sale is going to “buy a monopoly and hurt the DJ community”.
“The move brings under the same umbrella Serato and Rekordbox DJ, which together account for a massive 90 percent of market share in the DJ software business,”, the advertisement quotes from an article published on MusicTech.

The advertisement also explains that CEO of InMusic Jack O’Donnell has expressed fears over this purchase, as it means that Pioneer DJ will hold control of most of the “global market for DJ audio equipment”.
It seems as if the key concern is that if there’s no competitors for Pioneer, there will be no incentive for them to innovate and continue growing the market. There’s also concerns over the lack of diversity in the market, and the fear that smaller and independent manufacturers will disappear.
However, some of those in the comments of the Reddit post seem to disagree with InMusic’s stance, instead pointing to the fact that InMusic had the opportunity to purchase Serato, just like Pioneer.
“InMusic had a chance to purchase, they were in the running,” user djdescry writes. “However, they could not agree to the main term of sale: keep the company going as-is. Pioneer was the only company to agree to this term and this is why they were able to acquire.”
Pioneer DJ is yet to comment on the advertisement.
