  • Music isn’t just making patterns.

    Oh but it actually is, and there’s been loads of studies on exactly what combinations of chords and transitions people generally find pleasing to listen to. Thats also why you can play literally thousands of popular songs from throughout modern history with the exact same 4-chord pattern. This is extensively utilised by so-called “hit makers” when producing for this exact reason, it is near universally pleasing to listen to.

    It’s also about telling stories through sound

    To some, sure it is. But to the music industry in general it really isn’t, it’s about making a catchy tune (usually by method mentioned above) to make some money. It’s a sad reality of the industry, like it or not.

    It can’t comprehend what it means to be human, and it doesn’t have deep thoughts that drive it to create.

    Again, the vast majority of music hitting mainstream channels is pretty much cookie cutter production with no deep thoughts behind it, despite being made entirely by humans.
