🎧 Sponsored by Sonora CinematicUse code COFFEEANDSOUND for 10% off athttps://sonoracinematic.comIn this episode of The Sound Diaries: Coffee Edition, I sit down with a roundtable of composers, sound designers, and audio professionals to discuss generative AI in music — not from hype or fear, but from lived experience.Prompted by Adam Neely’s recent video on AI music, the conversation explores what’s actually at stake: the financial future of working musicians, the difference between AI as an assistive tool versus AI that replaces the creative process, and why collaboration, skill-building, and community still matter. We also unpack ideas like “narcissistic listening,” the myth of democratization, and why AI may end up homogenizing creative output rather than expanding it.Guests: David Tobin & Jeff Meegan, Joe Miller, James David Redding III, and Nicolaj Möller-Nielsen.COFFEEANDSOUND.
