AI for Christmas

Artificial Intelligence (AI) made itself part of this year's
music story with AI acts The Velvet Sundown, TaTa Taktumi and
Breaking Rust making news one way or another. 


This week, Ken Kessler of the podcast The Sounds of Christmas and
Gerry D from the Totally Rad Christmas podcast join me to talk
about the way AI Christmas music foreshadowed some of this. We
talk about an early effort created by University of Toronto
researchers, "Rudolph the All-Gracious King" and it's companion
how-it's-done video), and the heavy metal "Christmas Overdrive."
We also talked about faux-vintage Christmas songs posted at the
RAI Music page.
