the framework behind the signal

The Digital Music Framework is the policy-facing argument underneath the work: the issue is not artificial music. It is artificial identity.

Birth of the new Musical Directors

The emergence of creator-led digital music worlds built through direction, curation, visual identity, sequencing, editing, performance design and emotional authorship.

The Digital Music Framework is a white paper covering opinions, research and proposals on the absorption of AI-assisted and AI-directed music into the current music landscape from the coalface. It explores the emergence of digital A&R, artist embodiers, image designers, AI-assisted directors, marketers and world-builders operating around synthetic artists and hybrid creative identities.
