For the 15 years that I've had this channel, it's just all been about posting some of my old music and some family treasures. I uploaded my first "reaction video" just for fun in November 2020 and it looks like I have released the MUSICAL KRAKEN!
For those who ask what my composer experience is, I have spent most of the past 40 years composing and producing music for television and film. My compositions have been licensed for use in over 250 television programs worldwide, including placements on ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC, as well as on various cable networks and in major sports programming. I'm also a third-generation composer who studied over the shoulders of my father Jorge del Barrio and my uncle Eddie del Barrio.
Finally, yes, the puppets that you see in the background of my videos. I'm a volunteer children's hospital entertainer as a ventriloquist. You can learn more and check out some of my kid's music compositions at abbageebz.com.

At this point, theres no pushing back, ai will make music that surpases what humans can do specifically in the mainstream because most of that music is formulaic and heavily structured. Outside of that mainstream though, i think there always gonna be people who want to make music and art, but there'll be issues in finding out whats actually ai versus real. Unfortunately, theres probably gonna be less incentive to profit off the arts so there will likely be less people actually pursuing it. But, is it gonna die entirely, i think its pretty highly unlikely, but it will change quite a bit
You NEED to watch the Streetlight Manifesto + Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution (BOTAR) live videos. They play their songs with an entire orchestra
Thank you for saying what I struggle to about this band with people when they ask who I look up to as a guitarist.
Look, I get it. The purists out there will never be okay with AI generated music. I'm someone who used to write a lot of lyrics but wouldn't have music to put it to. I've generated a few tracks with Suno that are at least the beginning of an idea for a song and have been 80% happy with what I've managed to put together with it. Is it perfect? No. Is it an idea to then get a band to polish? I think so. Did I put them up on KZread and share them out with a few folks. Absolutely.
Well, I just got Logic 11 update, I think it’s a good tool. I didn’t use the AI drummer in Logic x so I’m not sure. Vocals and lyrics are still a thing. I play bass and although the AI bass player in Logic 11 can do some cool stuff, I’m not going to stop playing bass. At some point we may not know what is AI created music or not. I guess that’s scary. 😊
Most people say the studio versions of any artists music is better than the live. Muse are the exception to the rule, watch the live performances maybe the Rome Olympic Stadium gig and you’ll be able to see the talent pour out of them.
I'm not worried. I mostly listen to underground metal and our Elitism is strong enough that this shit will automatically be shunned. Doesn't help that AI can't tour and sell merch at shows.
I am completely against "AI" being involved in the arts, Geebz, for a variety of reasons, but an important factor to consider is that everyone calling these programs AI to begin with are propping up a misnomer. These are software programs farmed to mimic and pretend to perform human tasks, but they're not sentient lifeforms of any capacity. It sounds cool and trendy for engineers to call them AI because it sounds better than procedural generation software. I'd be receptive to what an actual, self-aware synthetic lifeform would do in an approach to music and creativity, but this stuff we see now, to me they're just tools that non-creatives see as a means to replace creative people from the equation of making art (either for profit or acclaim).
"Will AI Music Make It Into Your Playlist" hell F*cking No. i despise anything AI art related. There's already enough soulless music out there, i don't need it to be fake on top of that
No matter the subject, if something becomes better, faster, or easier, it will replace whatever it is trying to replace for consumers. The hard truth is that this technology will reach a level where you feel the 'soul' in every song it produces and are blown away by how good it is. Of course, if you tell someone it's AI beforehand, they might pretend to tell the difference and hate it, but if you don't, the truth will be revealed. This raises the question: what does this mean for creators and artists? Well, they will use these tools for as long as they can before being completely replaced on the consumer end. This applies to all areas of life, not just music. But I would argue this isn't a bad thing. You have to look at the bigger picture with AI. This technology will eventually make producing everything cost pennies and take seconds while being better than anything a human can do across all fields of life. We will likely have this technology in our lifetime, and possibly very soon. Simply put, artists, creators, and all currently employed people will no longer need to worry about money because everything will be so abundant. People are reflexively angry at stuff like this because it threatens their $$$. The world will be free from money soon, and I'm all for it because, at the end of the day, nothing is stopping these people from making music except the loss of money. If you create stuff just for the money, you have already lost the soul in your art. I sound like I'm speaking science fiction, but time will likely prove me right if we continue on the same path we are now.
TL;DR: AI technology will eventually create music so good it will feel like it has "soul," and people will accept it once they realize its quality. Artists and creators might initially use AI tools but could be replaced as AI becomes more efficient. This isn't a bad thing; AI will make production cheap and abundant, potentially leading to a world without the need for money. Resistance to AI is often about economic fear, not artistic integrity.
Thinking that this tech will free the world from money is hopelessly naive. It is already being used at the first opportunity to replace the human creator from the equation in order to further the profit and convenience of corporations and those in power. Further, what point then is there in anyone being an artist in any capacity if anyone with zero talent, inspiration, or creativity, can vomit out "art" as a prompt engineer, using software that has assimilated the entirety of recorded human art and culture, an entity that we would have collectively outsourced our thoughts and ideas. If that's the kind of future you really want, might as well break every instrument, never teach another singer how to use their organic voice, stop writing any word by hand, and while we're at it throw away all pencils, brushes, paint, just let "AI" do it for you.
I personally will never support AI music or art.
Only people with a strong knowledge of music, or just understand what Trent is capable of with his music, nothing short of absolute genius ❤
I really enjoyed this. Thanks, Geebz!
I go to Udio mainly for the weird stuff. Outrageous lyrics and strange mashups of musical styles. Stuff you don‘t hear anywhere else.
I know this video isn’t meant for me as a musician, but what I’d be more interested in is AI tools that help me find the tones and and patches that I can hear in my head but maybe I don’t know how to dial in when working with plugins in my DAW. I still want 100% autonomy in what I create and how I structure a song, but tools that help me to achieve unique sounds are always welcome.
Can't believe no one had mentioned this in 2 years, but the sample at the end is actually the intro to the song Girls of Porn. They put the sample at the end of the track so when you switched songs on the CD, it would go straight to the song instead of the sample intro. It is actually from a real 70' porn movie. Billy Gould, bassist from Faith No More showed it to Mike Patton so he could use it. 😁
Welcome to our cult. Please check the merch counter at the back.
AI might try to create a frequency that kills humans ?
I personally like it because I've had plenty of copyright issues with my channel over the years. Especially with so called "royalty free" music. It's always been an issue. Most music in KZread videos are like salt and pepper in a meal, it's there to spice up the video, it's not the main ingredient. It would really upset me when a company or artist would copyright claim an entire video over something that's not even the main focus of the video or the subject that made the video famous. Or Instagram and Facebook would delete a video because music happened to be playing in the background in a public space. It's not just AI music that will be nice for videos, it's also AI tools that allow us to separate the audio tracks and remove music that might be copyrighted. In my opinion I think this is a copyright revolution that happened. Especially on KZread.
Very unlikely, I'm fussy enough about human created music!
Tried Udio a bit. Wasn't impressed the least. But if/when these tools get better, well.... It's definitely dangerous for mainstream music
There will always be a demand for real art. At worst, AI will shrink the market for real art. It will never replace it though. EDIT: re: your question at the end. I will avoid AI generated music like the plague. It's the difference between reading a book and reading ChatGPT messages. Talking to a friend and talking to a chatbot. Engaging with something produced by a SOUL versus a pale imitation of that.
Much does not matter, at this rate humanity is going to be at war against machines by 2030.
I can see some real life use cases for these tools. IE as an artist I could see an interesting way to direct the tool. Could I, for instance, write some lyrics for a death metal track based ON the idea of AI, maybe at soke point. Use ai tools for songs in such an album, to tell the AIs point of view. Then, do some songs from the human perspective, where we get the human element. Might be cool. Maybe. But again art requires intent. I think with ai tools an artist can have a new item in their repitoire like photoshop has tools. But it itself is not a piece of art without intent.
no because its soulless empty flat
I left a lengthy comment on the podcast you did with Paul Croteau that explains how I feel about AI use, in general. Basically, I maintain the opinion that no one who is really good at their jobs...regardless of what aspect of the arts they're in...is going to lose a lucrative to job to AI, anytime soon. It will be very simple tasks, for awhile, and mostly large corporations doing it. I have not played with the programs mentioned, but I don't see why I wouldn't, at some point. I would be doing it for curisosity's sake...for fun...not for selling.
Music without soul, music is the culmination of an artists experience that led them to make this music in this moment in these circumstances. AI music is just... Slop. There is no depth, there is no subtext, there is no context.
Love that responce!
It's soulless slop, I agree. Not too different from what's mainstream anyway.
I always think of "the sound of muzak" by Porcupine Tree when I hear people explain what their generative LLM can do in terms of outputting music and replicating long dead artists' voices without their consent. It's... It's just using the music as pure product, an ends to a means which is to [PRODUCE PRODUCT], and it saddens me
I give anyone thinking AI-music "has no soul" two to five years. You will not be able to hear the difference to human music. I doubt you could 100% now even. And you know that's not really the issue - you are just _scared_ of the future. And oh, it won't be the end of the music industry because people will start selling AI music to Spotify, it will destroy the music industry because NO ONE will sell music to anyone.
it's just stuff, there's no magic to it
Check Scarlet Acoustic
It’s impossible not to nod my head every time I hear this song. Sometimes the simplicity of the drums/beat can be the most effective.
Didn't know they had made another version of it, i actually prefer the chunkiness in the guitar of the original more than this one, this is more 'hi-techy' and modern
Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution! This band acoustically, plus a string section to make an orchestrette doing these songs. They'll surprise you again
Erez is such a cool dude.
Reggae is awesome. Dive in!!
Still here, I loved watching your brain work while you enjoyed a piece, a tiny sliver, of the genius of those guys. Do keep it up! Love your work and videos!
Tim Hanson is a once in a generation guitar player. He's a guy that many people know is good but he's actually extremely good. so much poise and tasteful playing and keeps transforming his style. in a weird way he reminds me a little of Hendrix.
Please stop playing with your freaking beard when listening :)
A great Disturbed song is 10,000 Fists, Just Stop, Down with the Sickness
Aloha Geebz! Can you react to "without you | without us" by Whitechapel?
Sundowning = Ellie Goulding++HalcyonDays | This Place Will Be Your Tomb = Deftones++WhitePony | Take Me Back To Eden = Karnivool++SoundAwake+++++++
All of these albums, are in my top 10 of all time, btw... not to be reductionistic.
That bass tone is absolutely mind-glowingly god-level. You have to thank the master Forrester Savell for his expertise on sound engineering. Credit him for the Sound Awake album from Karnivool (and epic sonic masterpiece top to bottom). He did the most recent Caligula's Horse album ... another sonic masterpiece. Everything he touches is gold.
Intriguing.
One spin
I’ll take ya down
I'm here a little late I guess. This is one of my favorite songs of the last decade for sure. Probably why this video here was on my recommend page, because I have watched the Philistine Philosophies video maybe a thousand times since it was first uploaded. I'm not a huge Sikth (like six, but instead of an "x" on the end of it, pronounce it with a lisp, with a "th", "si-th"), but the first time I ever heard Bland Street Bloom, I think around 2007, it just blew me away. As someone who has been playing the drums since I was 12 years old, that song broke my brain. Not just because of the drumming, and the weird snare part in the chorus, because of the overall awesomeness of it and how different it was to anything else that at least I was listening to at the time. When they came out with this song way later, even then it was just so different, so few bands gave me that kind of vibe. Absolutely loved it.
I just found this song a few weeks ago because i saw the Chad Smith drum video. Its a great song.
the best band of all time been saying this since 1995
Oceansize were on another level. Never heard such unique composition anywhere else.
Thank you Geebz
Why do you leave these treasures out Geebz?!
They are all very talented musicians!
