Gil Weinberg UNCOVERS What AI Could Really Mean for Musicians | Ep. 647

Musicians curious about AI robots: Georgia Tech's Gil Weinberg shows how technology expands what players can do without replacing the act of playing.

Weinberg built Shimon, a marimba robot with eight arms hitting 20 notes per second, and a prosthetic drum arm for amputee Jason Barnes using ultrasound sensing for finger-by-finger piano control.

His app HearMe blocks audio downloads and delivers notation and tabs instead, so players learn from the AI. 

The episode also covers the Guthman Musical Instrument Competition where musical instrument inventors show their latest ideas, and why Weinberg now calls himself a decelerationist.
