Speaking to MusicTech, Nina says that the value of AI in music production lies in its ability to improve the “brain to page” flow, bridging the gap between abstract musical ideas and concrete expression.
And while AI music generators have become increasingly popular for their ability to create background tracks and assist in music composition, they often fall short in delivering the emotional depth that human musicians bring to their work.
“We were trying to give it the most obscure prompts, just to see what we could get out of it,” says Nina of her experience with the tool. “We didn’t get anything good.”
That said, like many other musicians, Ninajirachi hopes that AI will evolve into a tool that assists rather than replaces human creativity.
“My hope for AI is that it develops in a way that’s assistive for creators and is not replacing the creative work,” she says.
Elsewhere in the chat, Nina also shares her thoughts on the democratisation of music technology, noting the way artists can now make music that sound “fully professional” at a fraction of the cost.
“In the past, someone would have to spend 20 grand on a studio, an engineer and a mix person to create something that people would deem consumable,” she says. “When I was in high school, I was making songs on my laptop that sounded fully professional. With a computer, you can hypothetically make any sound. That’s so awesome.”
