This week we will reflect on how artificial intelligence is influencing music culture through electronics. People's ability to learn from each other, from teacher to student, from mentor to novice, is how we build on knowledge and transmit culture.

We can see the impact of AI on social media, but what about music culture? How is electronic music, deeply ingrained with computers, being influenced by interactions between humans and algorithms? Machines can contribute to and sometimes influence art.

Hear from 7 artists showcasing this evolving relationship, including Julia Felix, Ketsa, Lovespirals, Bluebridge the Quartet, Flux and Vega, Siddhartha Corsus and Aydio. We will begin in Ontario with ambient electronic artist Julia Felix from her ‘Minaret’ Lp and ‘An Ember of Carbon’.

That was ‘Satellites’ by London-based Ketsa. Listen to his ‘Growth’ album at freemusicarchive.org and Julia Felix at archive.org Here are the chilled sounds of Lovespirals from their ‘Smile’ release and ‘Why Not Today’.

That was Bluebridge the Quartet from Jönköping, Sweden. With a blast of jazz, trip-hop, post-punk and electronica. And Lovespirals, making some of the best music of their careers at www.lovespirals.com From the Mexican net label No Copy Protection comes Flux & Vega, the creative synergy of Jose Rendon and Gabriela Vega.

That was‘The Moon Lodge’ by Portuguese producer Siddartha Corsus. Find more SoundCloud and Bandcamp. And Flux & Vega at Konfort Records. We last heard from London-based musician Aydio back on Episode 146. This is ‘One Step’.
