Today’s episode is a catchup with Louis Hanshaw…
About himself as a musician, and about what’s going on with Artificial Intelligence? (Recorded on 5th June 2023.)
The video version of today’s episode will also appear on Spotify very soon. For now, here’s a link to it on YouTube.
We, Louis and I, plan to do this 'What's going on?' catchup on a regular basis, maybe once every six to eight weeks — that's the plan...
More or less, this first 'What's going on?' is in two halves.
The first hour or so is Louis introducing himself as a musician.
Here's a link to ‘Blessed Be’, one of Louis’s recent songs on YouTube.
The second hour is Louis and I talking mainly, but not only, about what’s going on with AI, in particular AI relating to music creation. This ‘Statement on AI Risk’ gets mentioned in the podcast.
Louis is a multi-instrumental singer-songwriter, beginning at the tender age of 13 when life’s difficulties first made a huge impact. He now produces his music in his home studio in Spain and on the road. After focusing on family and business for a few years he had an epiphany that it was time to follow the long-standing dream of bringing his music and messages to the world.
Some of his songs which are very relevant to the last few years include ‘The Best is Yet to Come’ and ‘Breathe (Give Me a Smile)’ which both shine a light on the geopolitical happenings in recent times.
He is a totally independent artist who is looking for new ways to be involved with what he considers to be a broken industry in many ways.
