January 8ths (Grays of Shade)

1/8/2001

Chicago story documentary on Studs Terkel. Passion for life, passion for “common” people and a zest for interesting things. (Will subsequent generations produce a rival?) He called himself a “gold prospector” while sifting through all his recorded interviews. This is what I try to do with music ideas, lyric ideas, and this diary.

[1/8/2025: The “gold” is now the extraction of lyrics from these diaries as Songdays].

(Anthony Townes Diary) 

Jon sent me a story about the future of music being more microtonal and raga-based and wants to start using it as an AJ. We’ve never thought that ethnological history going back centuries could be “algorithmic”, but it is in fact, as it has existed in cryptoculture since the 2020s.

Poe: How are people affected by algorithms in the 2040s?

"Similarly, the rise of "Music by Algorithm" has shifted the role of musicians, who are now more akin to "database administrators" or "algorithm jockeys," selecting and manipulating pre-existing musical sequences and samples [1]. This has led to a continuous pushback from those who value the traditional, human-centric approach to music creation." [More]
