Introducing AI To The Music Industry
Artists and musicians are increasingly exploring AI technologies as a solution to creating promotional videos. These tools allow the user to enter a text prompt, image or video to direct the AI towards a desired outcome. Apps such as Kaiber, Runway and Luma Lab’s Dream Machine create visual content containing effects, themes and ideas that would usually be costly to produce using traditional live action recording and visual effects. An example of AI experimentation created to promote music is the Dandy Warhol’s ‘I’d Like To Help You With Your Problem’.

I recently created a brief introduction to generating AI music videos. The document provides a brief history of the music video covering the introduction of musical featurettes in the 1920s, the release of The Wizard Of Oz in 1939 through to A Hard Days Night 1964, The Song Remains The Same 1976, the launch of MTV on 1 August 1981 and beyond.

Below are 2 examples of music videos created by Peter Simcoe using AI tools. Heaven Knows, created with Midjourney and Runway Gen 2, You’ll Be With Me One Day created with Kaiber‘s Flipbook mode.
Luma Labs AI allow users to generate 30 videos per month for free using a Google account and is widely respected along with Runway’s Gen 3 solution. Monthly subscriptions for many video generators can be a little costly at around $30 – $40, but come with a variety of additional features and benefits. Open AI’s Sora has impressed the AI community with it’s music video demo created by Paul Trillo called The Hardest Part …Sora has yet to be released to the public.
