Artist uses AI to 'resurrect' stars like Diana, John Lennon and Kurt Cobain who left us too soon

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A photographer used artificial intelligence to bring stars who left us too soon back to life - creating eerie portraits of Princess Diana, Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, Janis Joplin, Freddie Mercury and others. The haunting and realistic images are the work of Alper Yesiltas, a photographer based in Turkey, created the portraits for a project titled'As If Nothing Happened.' He used artificial intelligence photo enhancer software and photo editing programs to create the pictures. 'With the development of AI technology, I've been excited for a while, thinking that "anything imaginable can be shown in reality,"' Yesiltas wrote about the project.

Artificial intelligence has created new songs by Nirvana and Amy Winehouse.

#artificialintelligence

"Drown in the Sun" by Nirvana, "Man, I Know" by Amy Winehouse, "You're Gonna Kill Me" by Jimi Hendrix, and "The Roads Are Alive" by The Doors are the songs featured on the unique compilation The Lost Tapes of the 27 Club. The songs are unique not only because they were created through artificial intelligence, but also because of their message. Will never rise with me to fire" -- sings the singer in Nirvana's "new" song "Drown in the Sun." The lyrics and music are deceptively reminiscent of the original style of Kurt Cobain, who died in 1994, but the musician himself of the "found" song never composed, never wrote the lyrics, and never heard it. "Drown in the Sun" was created through artificial intelligence, and is produced by the non-profit organization Over the Bridge, which with its project The Lost Tapes of the 27 Club wants to draw attention to the issue of mental health among artists. To this end, it has decided to symbolically bring several musicians back to life by resurrecting their music. Using machine learning technology from Google -- namely the Magenta program -- it was possible to create new tracks of musicians who died prematurely by joining the so-called 27 Club. First, the IT specialists fed the computer program an archive of about 30 Nirvana songs. The Magenta program then analyzed the files for repeating components and then developed an entirely new song. However, the vocalist's voice in "Drowed in the Sun" is 100 percent human, assures Eric Hogan, lead singer of Nevermind, an Atlanta-based Nirvana cover band. Apart from the "lost" Nirvana track, The Lost Tapes of the 27 Club project has also created three other pieces, including "Man, I Know" in the style of Amy Winehouse, "The Roads Are Alive" in the style of The Doors and "You're Gonna Kill Me" in the style of Jimi Hendrix's music. All of the musicians whose music has been entrusted to artificial intelligence belong to what is known as the 27 Club. The 27 Club has become a pop culture term for musicians, artists and actors who have died at (or near) the age of 27. Many of them passed away prematurely as a result of battling debilitating addictions. Most also struggled with mental health issues. Kurt Cobain, struggling with heroin addiction, committed suicide in 1994. With its campaign Over the Bridge organization wants to draw attention to the scale of mental problems that artists face. Many of them, unable to cope with their problems, turn to drugs. According to a survey conducted by the organization, as many as 71 percent of musicians report experiencing anxiety and panic attacks, and 68 percent admit that they have struggled with depression. Suicide attempts are also a huge problem. They occur nearly twice as often among musicians and those working in the music industry as in the general population. "As long as there has been popular music, musicians and crews will struggle with mental health problems at levels that far exceed those in the general adult population.


Near-Vana: A 'New' Kurt Cobain Track Appears Courtesy Of Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Arriving a symbolic and symmetric 27 years after he died at the age of 27, a "new" Nirvana song has been released. What makes "Drowned In The Sun" very different to "'You Know You're Right" – the last track Nirvana recorded in 1994 but which was not released until 2002 – is that Kurt Cobain did not write it and no members of Nirvana played on it. The track in question was created using artificial intelligence (AI) software that analyzed a number of Nirvana tracks in order to mimic their writing, recording and lyrical styles – drawing on vocals by Eric Hogan, lead singer in Nevermind, a Nirvana tribute act. Such digital necromancy comes with a whole host of moral, ethical and musical concerns, but in this case it is part of the Lost Tapes Of The 27 Club project raising awareness of mental health issues in music. The 27 Club refers to that mythologized grouping of musicians who all died at the age of 27.

How AI will change storytelling and become the next great art form

#artificialintelligence

It seems self-defeating for the former head of Oculus Stories Studios and current founder and executive producer of VR startup Fable to declare AI, not virtual reality, the next big art form. Especially considering that, aside from him, nobody knows what that means. TNW talked to Fable founderEdward Saatchi about his company's pivot away from focusing on just making stories in VR. He told us that the future of entertainment was "virtual beings," non-living characters powered by AI that interact with humans. According to him, we'll never be friends with them because they're servants.
