What do real musicians think of AI-Generated music?
In this 4-part bonus series, you’ll hear rapid fire interviews with musicians who are using cutting-edge podcasting 2.0 tech to reinvent the music industry. We kicked off the series yesterday with the one-and-only Ainsley Costello.
This is all leading up to the first-ever “Sats By SW” Independent Music Summit and our live music performance at Antone’s hosted by the inventor of modern podcasting and legendary MTV VJ, Adam Curry.
This week’s guest artists and I will be sharing the stage at Antone’s for Adam Curry’s Boostagram Ball on 12/16, and we hope to see you there in-person or on the upcoming livestream!
Without further ado, I’d like to introduce you to Johnny Elrod, fellow Texan, musician, and drummer for FM Rodeo.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
What real musicians think about AI-Generated music
How to approach learning a musical instrument in an age of distraction
Why having your own music library is better than Spotify
Why labor-intensive hobbies that don’t have a financial pay off are worth it
And more…
Hang on until the end of this interview to hear a track from FM Rodeo, “Rit Jon.”
And if you’d like to boost some “sats” for today’s episode in a modern podcasting app, your contributions will automatically be split 50/50 with FM Rodeo!
