New tech alert! Don’t all music-makers have a ton of scrappy voice notes? We do. So when we first heard of an app being created to help bring order to the chaos so you can turn your ideas into songs, we were excited. Then we got to try it out ahead of the release today, it’s feature-packed and we love it! It’s called @dubnoteapp and it’s from the @vochlea team who brought you voice-to-MIDI Dubler 2. To mark the launch Lifetime Premium Access is free for 24 hours. You record into the app on your phone. Three things we love: Lyric and speech transcription BPM / tempo detection It uses on-device AI, there’s no data sharing or harvesting Find it in the app store, link in bio, more info at dubnote.com (FYI this isn’t a paid promotion) #musictech #innovation #dubnote #musicmaking #musician #music #songwriting #app #newapp #free #ai #ethicaltech #kitmonstersrecommended #threethingswelove

An innovative and thought-provoking night at the #ResponsibleAI #MusicRAI mini-projects launch with artists using small / open source data sets to create works in genres currently marginalised by mainstream AI models. The programme is an exciting international ethical tech collaboration in progress. Great to hear the works, from traditional Korean music and electronica reimagined by @ypnida______ in Utmori, to @guptashreya30 ’s call and response tabla and drums piece Jugalbandi, and @famaria.famaria ’s powerful Erasure exploring the relationship between voice, gender identity and AI technology. Project team inc @ual_cci @musichackspace @daaci_ai @steinberg and @belaplatform #newmusic #experimental #electronicmusic #AI #artificialintelligence #ethicaltech #innovation #collaboration

We've a great interview with @electricindigo_official on the @femalepressure_official FACTS Survey, out today that looks at the gender distribution of artists performing at #electronicmusic festivals. Things are improving at the festivals, but there's plenty more to be done, and the female:pressure action points for festival organisers, artists, politicians and attendees are fantastic, and applicable to other genres too. The #FACTS2022 survey is a #mustread.

Great to be at the launch of the @musichackspace #WeMove series @wearetherattle last night, hosted and curated by @iamrookes . The first session was an incredible intro to orchestration from @helennoir covering everything from composing to samples and how the biz works. The series runs for the next few months IRL and online and you can watch back. More info in our Kitmonsters piece and at MH. #musichackspace #helennoir #orchestration #classical #electronic #seminar #music #musictech #education
