Dimi Doukas and Pasi Siitonen a.k.a. Stig |
I had a pleasure to meet and discuss with Pasi Siitonen a.k.a Stig at Teosto event yesterday. We had some quite similar interests and hobbies and it was fun to talk about those things. He seems to have some similarities with me when there's something we get interested in. Also he said he gets a bit carried away sometime, as we say in Finland 'lähtee lapasesta' which translates about 'to get out of hands'. It happens to me all the time :)
The event was arranged by Teosto with the topic 'AI Afterwork'. We got to hear about the latest results of the survey done within the music industry about the usage, relation and future expectations and thoughts about AI. You can read more about it here . Vappu Aura, from Teosto, launched the event prenseting the survey summary. Next on stage was Pasi Siitonen, who talked about his relation to AI and how he has been utilising AI for many years already in his music creation process, espccially on lyrics side as an inspirational tool. According to Pasi, AI is not capable yet of creating lyrics yet on behalf of anyone in Finnish language. Not in a good way at least. There might be some seeds to inspiration with the poor lyrics though that AI sometimes generates. Pasi gave us an example of such an event. Pasi has also been a pioneer on music arena in Finland, building this fictional and virtual AI dude called Tello, who sings the song 'Lovi' Matias Melleri and Pasi Siitonen created.
