Speakers: Jo Frost interview, with Chris Cooke

Vi fortsætter debatten om, hvordan generativ AI forandrer musikbranchen. I sidste uge undersøgte vi de nyeste AI-værktøjer, der gør det muligt for amatører at skabe musik uden at kunne synge, spille eller læse noder. Denne gang stiller vi spørgsmålet: Er det kreativitet eller plagiat, når AI giver os muligheden for at skabe popmusik på nye måder?  Den britiske journalist og rådgiver i musikbranchen, Chris Cooke, beskæftiger sig indgående med AI i forbindelse med musikproduktion og jura.  Herefter får vi selskab af Morten Wagner, CTO hos Trifork, der udvikler digitale løsninger til blandt andet det offentlige. Morten er også en passioneret hobbymusiker og komponist, der bruger AI som en del af sin musikskabelse.   Der er mange udfordringer, når det gælder AI's indflydelse på kunstnere, komponister og pladeselskaber. Men én ting er sikkert: Juristerne står klar til at forme fremtiden for musikproduktion. Medvirkende: Chris Cooke, journalist for CMUMorten Wagner, CTO hos Trifork Links:  Chris Cooke:https://mynameischriscooke.com        Morten Wagner/Popgoblin: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2isY5cmtn3XYzQuDOyyAZ3?si=lU5qEZDESdSPhUbUHLvO0w Henrik Føhns' personlige AI pophits playliste:  https://soundcloud.com/funzafunza/sets/ai-music-songs-partially-or

Prompt er inviteret til Spot Festival i Aarhus for at tale om den revolution, vi står overfor inden for musik med AI. AI-tjenester tilbyder at skabe en hel sang med vokal og musik - alene ud fra en prompt. Marcel og Henrik tester de nye AI-værktøjer og diskuterer, om der overhovedet er en fremtid for original musik. Tidligere var det radiokanalerne, der introducerede os for ny musik. I dag er verden styret af playlister, playlister, playlister, som ofte er AI-skabte. Vi får besøg af den legendariske musikjournalist Chris Cooke, der har dækket teknologiens indvirkning på musikbranchen i årtier. Med ham skal vi vende den rolle, algoritmerne hos fx. Spotify spiller i opdagelsen af ny musik. Er det pengene eller kvaliteten, der styrer, hvad der rammer vores personaliserede playlister? Optaget d. 3. maj 2024. Værter: Marcel Mirzaei-Fard, vært og Henrik Moltke, tech-korrespondent. Gæster: Chris Cooke, musikjournalist, Jakob Plesner, direktør for IFPI, DJ Noize, DJ og producer, og Nicolai Franck, Tech Scout hos Koda.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In the (overdue) season 3 finale, Nate is forced to deal with Cameron Winter's “Christmas gift”: the Asylum's infamous Monster Island. It's supposedly a “mockbuster” of 2019's Godzilla: King of the Monsters, but even by the Asylum's standards, that's a stretch. To unravel the legal loopholes and shenanigans that went into making this...movie, Nate brings on the Island's star lawyer, Raymund Martin, and the man's paralegal, Gary Steward. Not only do they riff this half-competent (and therefore, boring) “kaiyu” flick into the ground, they give you a crash course in the history of the Asylum and mockbusters. Nate's contractual obligations are now complete! Beforehand, Nate delivers his final report as the nonexistent “media master” to Mr. Gold, who reveals a few tantalizing details about what's been happening on the Island lately. Guest Cast Michael Hamilton as Mr. Gold Damon Noyes as Raymund Martin and Gary Steward This episode's prologue, “Heart of Gold,” was written by Michael Hamilton and Nathan Marchand. Additional music: “This Cowboy's Hat” (instrumental) by Chris LeDoux “Pacific Rim” by Niall Stenson “Circus Music” (public domain) “Kaiju rap” by Jonah Ray “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo Sound effects sourced from Freesound.org, including those by Brad Wesson.

“Ameri-kaiju” concludes not with a chronological finale but a popular finale: the modern cinematic classic Jurassic Park. Bex from Redeemed Otaku (yes, the real Bex—she was tested!) joins Nate to not talk about Mothra or something girly for once—but it does involve kids! Besides Jesus and Sailor Moon, JP is her favorite thing in the world. What more can be said about the film that hasn't already been said? It's an iconic and revolutionary masterpiece directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the popular Michael Crichton novel. While it's debatable if the dinosaurs in it are “kaiju” (see the infamous Kaiju Weekly episode for more on that), it had a profound impact on world cinema, including the kaiju genre. Obviously, the Toku Topic is the science in the film, which Nate says has been studied extensively by Monster Island scientists. Afterward, with evidence collected, Nate and H.E.A.T. march into the Boardroom and confront Cameron Winter on all his shady dealings on the Island—but first they must get past the Space Beastman…and Winter's contingency plans!     Guest Cast Dani Cruz as Monique Dupre J. “Jack” Hudgens as Cameron Winter Rebecca Hudgens as Elsie Chapman Damon Noyes as Mendel Craven Andres Perez as Randy Hernandez R.

Vorbeiziehende Landschaften, das Rattern der Räder auf den Eisenbahnschienen, aufgeregtes Kinderplappern und das Kribbeln des Aufbrechens im Bauch: In dieser Folge erzählen Jenny Jakobeit und Chris Cook von einer ganz besonderen Rucksackreise. Mit drei Kindern im Schlepptau legen sie über 6.000 Kilometer mit dem Zug durch Osteuropa zurück. Ihr schlussendliches Ziel: Neuseeland – das Heimatland von Chris. Nicht für einen Urlaub, sondern – womöglich – für immer, denn dorthin möchte die junge Familie auswandern. Jenny und Chris tauchen in dieser Episode ein: in die ausgiebige Reise, die ihnen vier Monate Freiheit bescherte, und in die beträchtlichen Herausforderungen, die es bedeutet, ihre Familie in zwei Ländern Wurzeln schlagen zu lassen. Sie erinnern sich an Bärenbegegnungen in Rumänien, an die Schwere und Leichtigkeit von Aufbrüchen und Abschieden, ans Fremdsein und Einleben. Sie berichten von der Mühe des Rucksackreisens mit Kindern … und von der Freude die Welt durch ihre Augen zu betrachten – Augen, in denen mitunter aus jeder Pfütze ein Wunder wird.

Today on the show, Steven talks to Shaun about his busy weekend enjoying the latest Barbie movie and the walk around his local shopping mall. As you will have come to expect from Steven, it was hardly an uneventful trip so relax and enjoy his latest series of travel nightmares and disasters. Also, once they both remind themselves that this is a tech show (honest) they hear from listener Brian, who shares his own experiences using apps to measure his running and cycling either alongside or with smart gym equipment. You can watch Brian's YouTube video where he goes into more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3nd754y44w And we hear another description of the BackTPack Jenine Stanley told us about the other day; this time listener Chris Cooke joins in with her description and experience with it.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In this impromptu but timely "Godzilla Redux" episode that's technically from the future of the MIFV timeline, Nate sits down and discusses the first true Heisei G-film, Godzilla vs. Biollante, with YouTuber Kaiju Kim and GNP creator/author Daniel DiManna. Why did he move it up and feature them as guests? So they could promote the Kickstarter for their animated tie-in fanfilm! Enjoy this spirited conversation and the best SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION you ever heard on MIFV! In the meantime, you'll hear about what some fans call the “most poetic” film in the Godzilla franchise; how it was written by a dentist who recycled a script he wrote for Return of Ultraman; how it was the first G-film for writer-director Kazuki Omori and special effects director Koichi Kawakita; how it was affected by both King Kong Lives and Little Shop of Horrors; and how it was the subject of a lawsuit between Toho and Miramax. But all of that is nothing compared to the many crazy unmade scripts to which producer Tomoyuki Tanaka said, “No” (Miki was a cloned sister?! Nate knows that struggle!) Support “Erika” on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/erikabiollante/erika-an-animated-short-film.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In this epic livestream audio (and rare public MIFV MAX episode), Nathan is joined by his friend, MIFV MAX member Daniel DiManna (Godzilla Novelization Project) to discuss G-Fest 28. This was the convention's second year at the Hyatt in Rosemont, Illinois—and it's most attended ever with estimates as high as five-thousand! Nathan was on four panels and Daniel six; they met several guests, including Don Frye, Linda Jo Miller, T.J. Storm, and Yumiko Shaku; and they got into all kinds of other shenanigans (“My nipples will be avenged!”). So, whether you missed the con or were present, sit down, relax, and enjoy hearing two friends talk about a magical weekend with fellow kaiju fans.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! We interrupt our regular episode schedule for a “special report” on the Skull Island “anime” from Netflix and Powerhouse Animation. (Yes, the first “special report” was an experiment and the other a gag, but work with us). Obviously, Nate calls on his animation experts, Drew and Jacob of The Cel Cast, to discuss this, well, train wreck. SPOILER WARNING: It's the worst thing in the MonsterVerse (although, its place in that shared universe is dubious). It has maybe 1.5 good episodes out of eight. But prepare yourselves, Kaiju Lovers, for Nate to “cross the podcast streams” for the most epic “rantmaster” ever on MIFV! (Take that, Little Orphan Annie!) Sound effects sourced from Freesound.org.

As you'll hear, we have a new recording set up. After some great sounding test recordings, one of us (see if you can guess who) managed to record through their laptop mic instead of their studio mic.  SECTION TIMES 01: 100% Venues (00:09:42) 02: Drug testing policy (00:20:08) (Timings may be slightly different due to adverts) STORIES DISCUSSED THIS WEEK • FAC steps up its 100% Venues campaign against merch commissions • NTIA seeks judicial review on government's “reckless” festival drug testing policy ALSO MENTIONED • UK Music sets out proposals for AI regulation in letter to government • Sarah Silverman joins authors in suing ChatGPT for copyright infringement • Universal Music calls for federal publicity right and more transparency in latest AI hearing in US Congress • FXR and CMU put the spotlight on music royalty reporting – provide your input now • 100% Venues petition (Change.org) MORE FROM CMU • Upcoming CMU webinars • Buy MMF and CMU Insights' Dissecting The Digital Dollar book on Amazon • Sign up to receive the CMU Daily news bulletin • Listen to the full Setlist theme tune

It's not often Nate has actors from kaiju films on the show, let alone two of his buddies! Yes, believe it or not, his friends Daniel DiManna (Godzilla Novelization Project) and Elijah Thomas (Kaiju Conversation) both “starred” and “co-directed” the independent schlock-fest ZillaFoot from SRS Cinema. In this episode, which is more of an interview than a review/discussion, Daniel and Elijah talk about how they got involved with this movie and what they did in it. They also try to explain its convoluted history and divulge some juicy insider info! It's the definitive podcast episode on ZillaFoot! (Worst bragging rights ever…?) This episode was edited by Kim Lacanilao (https://www.nuclearlizardmedia.com/) with Nathan Marchand.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! MIFV MAX members Michael “The Man of Many Nicknames” Hamilton and Daniel “Godzilla Novelization Project” DiManna sponsored this Patreon episode on the semi-obscure ‘80s cartoon Dinosaucers, a comedy-action series about anthropomorphic alien dinosaurs battling each other. Sadly, Nate doesn't find it as cool as that description sounds, much to his guests' chagrin. The nostalgic Michael and ever-positive Danny make valiant defenses of the show—even when it gets culturally insensitive and a bit cringey. But then it has flashes of brilliance like when the characters travel to Japan and get in a pseudo-Godzilla movie and play a workout video from Chuck No-Wrist. You read that right! Episodes covered: “Dinosaur Valley,” “Sleeping Booty,” “The Truth about Dragons,” “Age of Aquariums,” and “Karatesaurus Wrecks.” Beforehand, Nate tries—and fails—to sneak past a Space Beastman to acquire the rare scotch for WHG3 and enlists H.E.A.T.'s super-spy, Monique Dupre, for help. Afterward, he and Jet Jaguar take the scotch to Nessie's Brasserie, where they meet an overeager Bonnie and H.E.A.T.'s techie, Randy Hernandez, and acquire a micro-SD card with evidence against Winter—that requires a password to avoid deleting the data! This episode was edited by Christopher Riner and Nathan Marchand. The prologue and epilogue, “Hijinks,” was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton.

In this JAFAX panel, you'll take a crash course in the Ultraman series with Nathan Marchand!

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! Nate is joined by a fresh face on the show: gaming journalist and podcaster Alex McCumbers. It makes sense because today's “Ameri-kaiju” film is Rampage (2018) starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, which is based on a classic arcade game. While the movie is “almost good,” as Alex puts it, it does embrace some of the wackiness of its origins with wisecracking “Agent Negan” and cartoonish villains. But it never quite replicates the campy yet dark tone of the source material (I mean, c'mon, the evil corporation in the game was called “Scumlabs”). There's some brief talk about CRISPR, which Nate wished he'd researched as the Toku Topic, but he promised Alex it'd be on the history of kaiju video games. Before today's broadcast, Nate reports to Mister Gold, who tells him he is aware of Nate's text messages with Jessica the day she freed the Ymir. Now Mister Gold says he's not sure he can trust Nate. After that harrowing experience, Nate and his merry band of secret rebels go to the last place he ever wants to go to get info from the last person he ever wants to see: the pub Nessie's Brasserie and its proprietor, William H. George III. It's an all-out sass war as soon as they walk in. Check out Alex's website and podcast, Forever Classic Games (https://foreverclassicgames.com/). The prologue and epilogue, “Getting the Messages,” was written by Michael Hamilton and Nathan Marchand. Guest Cast Michael Hamilton as Mr. Gold and William H.

This podcast is about big ideas on how technology is making life better for people with vision loss. Marcus Roberts, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, and even Louis Braille (who invented the Braille Music Notation system still used today) prove that musicians who are blind or visually impaired have made profound impacts on our musical landscape. However, to get their work to us, musicians who are blind have had to structure complex workarounds, like relying on sighted musicians to demonstrate complex scores; memorizing long pieces; or only performing when they can have a Braille score in front of them, shutting them out from opportunities that fall to those who can sight read, since Braille scores have often been time-consuming and expensive to produce. However, new technologies in music composition and production are making composition, nuanced scoring, and Braille printing easier than ever, bringing musicians and composers who are blind to centerstage to share their sound and song.   The Big Takeaways: “Lullay and  Lament” by James Risdon. The recorder — pivotal in music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods — only lately has emerged from a long period of obsolescence. James Risdon, a passionate player who lost his vision due to Leiber's congenital amaurosis as a child, has written the original song for recorder “Lullay and Lament” for his album Echoes of Arcadia, which marries the early recorder with contemporary recorder music. To make this album, he relied on new musical technologies like Dancing Dots. Dancing Dots with Bill McCann. Bill McCann is the founder and president of Dancing Dots Braille Music Notation software. Dancing Dots is a suite of software — plus educational resources and training — that helps people who are blind to read, write and record their music. McCann founded Dancing Dots in 1992. Chris Cooke and PlayHymns.com. When Chris Cooke got the Dancing Dots software in 2016, her creativity exploded. She was able to arrange a song and bring it to church and play a duet with a member of the congregation, something she hadn't been able to do before, given the former time and cost of translating music into Braille notation. What is Braille Music? Louis Braille, a noted musician, created the Braille musical notation system. Being able to translate music easily between Braille Musical Notation and Western musical notation, and to easily print either of these, helps musicians who are blind share music with other musicians, both sighted and blind, and play music together with ease. Musical Instrument Digital Interface and MusicXML. MIDI has made it possible for musicians to play music into their instruments and have it automatically translated into digital musical notation. MusicXML has made universal the file type for a score and allows musicians to share scores across popular music notation applications like Finale or Sebelius. The question of parity. James and Chris agree that while Dancing Dots technology has enabled them to take advantage of new musical opportunities, no technology exists that offers them complete parity with sighted musicians because musicians who are blind need additional lead time to get the music scanned correctly or to memorize pieces. Chris adds that preparing the music in a timely fashion and on a budget would help. The MIDI-to-brain connection. Bill McCann has explored using the Brainport, a technology from WICAB (which we profiled in an episode from September 2021, on “Training the Brain: Sensory Substitution”) to allow musicians who are blind to read music on their tongues. This is important if someone needs to read music live in a performance in order to play any instrument that also requires their hands. Early trials showed signs of success. He posits that maybe someday, maybe soon, people could think new music into notation.   Tweetables: “I said, I will never put myself in this position again. If I write something and I am asking other people to play it, and they ask me questions or there's something I am going to know before we meet exactly what I want and what I have.” — Bill McCann, founder and president of Dancing Dots “So the duet that we played was hot off my printer and went with me and we played it. And it was great to be able to share music in that way because of the technology in the Dancing Dots program.” — Chris Cooke, musician and music arranger, creator of Playhymns.com “As a blind person, I can say this for myself, often we end up following sighted people, or following somebody. Braille music gives blind musicians the chance to become leaders.” — Bill McCann, founder and president of Dancing Dots “I've set aside 2023 as a year. I'd really like to kind of develop some more expertise in the area and also come to grips with some of the technology that would help the process.” — James Risdon, musician and recorder player “Someone sitting there and getting inspired is what we call the MIDI-to-Brain connection. We're not there yet, but you could … think the music in your head … at a computer and … music materializes in the form of a score.” — Bill McCann, founder and president of Dancing Dots   Contact Us: Contact us at podcasts@lighthouseguild.org with your innovative new technology ideas for people with vision loss.   Pertinent Links: Lighthouse Guild Dancing Dots James Risdon Chris Cooke and Playhymns.com

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! The final “Godzilla Redux” episode of season three features three guests! Longtime staples Joe and Joy Metter and first-timer Brendan Morley join Nate to discuss Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (aka Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster). It's Brendan's favorite Godzilla film, so it was only natural he'd be here. Nate enticed Joe and Joy to return by having them watch the “banned” Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode that riffed the film. That means the entire gamut is run because Nate watched it subtitled while Brendan watched the international dub. The Metters, as the resident kaiju newbies, notice and appreciate some things hardcore fans take for granted—including what might be an Easter egg no one else has ever seen! It's an MIFV exclusive, people! Listen to learn what it is! Before the broadcast, Nate meets a new girl who brings him a press release that says Jimmy is in jail, requiring Jet Jaguar to fill in for him on the show. Then Jessica shows up to berate Nate about taking her job. Afterward, Jessica hears from Mimo that Mothra DNA is being stolen by a Bug Lady, so she intercedes as Crystal Lady. But this new foe proves too strong—until she's helped by Whambat! Check out Brendan's YouTube channel: youtube.com/@AutisticLizardProductions. The prologue and epilogue, “Severing Family Ties! Jessica Fights Nate and Daggermoth,” was written by Nathan Marchand. This episode was edited by Kim Lacanilao of Nuclear Lizard Media (https://www.nuclearlizardmedia.com/) and Nathan Marchand. Guest Cast: Sarah Marchand as Jessica/Crystal Lady Kyndra Chastain as Saskia Messer/Daggermoth Becky “Bex” Smith as Herself/Narrator Damon Noyes as Gary Steward/Whambat, Mimo, and the Nachfalter Additional music: “Dramatic Tense Cinematic Music” by Argsound Background Music “The X-Files Theme (Cover)” by Neon Frontier “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo “Call My Name (And I'll be There)” by Jennifer Cihi “Sailor Moon Theme Song” by Nicole & Brynne Price “Shredder (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV) - The Shredder” by Sixto Sounds “She's Got the Power” by Stan Bush “A weird thing” by Chiro Sound effects sourced from Freesound.org, including those by InspectorJ and AmeAngelofSin.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! “Ameri-kaiju” continues with a bit of an unusual entry; one that, serendipitously, Nate also covered around the same time on his other podcast, The Power Trip: the controversial Power Rangers (2017). While Nate has grown to appreciate this film quite a bit, he intentionally brought on Chris Cooke (co-host of One Cross Radio, Radio Arcade, and Powerbombs and Piledrivers) to discuss it because he does not. However, these two find more common ground than you'd think. That was surprisingly true in today's Toku Topic, which is a discussion of representation in media. This serves as a great companion to the Power Trip episode. Before today's broadcast, Nate entered his office to find sitting in his chair none other than Mr. Gold. After a thinly veiled threat of “termination,” Nate divulges a secret about Jimmy to him. Afterward, the infamous “Not-Goldar” attacks Monster Island out of nowhere—but help arrives in the form of a newly powered-up Karone! But even Nate, Chris, and Jimmy get in on the monster-fighting action thanks to Mechani-Kong Mk. 2. The prologue and epilogue, “With Friends Like You,” was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton. Guest Cast Michael Hamilton as Mr. Gold Celeste Mora as Karone Additional music: “Evil Rising” by David Fesliyan “Pacific Rim,” “Power Rangers Lost Galaxy,” and “Go, Go, Power Rangers” by Niall Stenson “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo Sound effects sourced from Freesound.org, including those by InspectorJ.
