A new concept music project, ‘HUMANICS MUSIC’, is unveiled.

As various predictions continue to be made about AI entering the realm of art, the ‘HUMANICS MUSIC’ project by Sonamu Music, a music planning and production company, is expected to be an opportunity to explore new creative possibilities through collaboration between people and AI.

‘HUMANICS’ is a compound word of ‘human’(Human) and ‘technology’(Technics), and shows that AI can be used as a tool to assist in creation rather than simply replacing music. Singers Lee Dong-eun, Pullip, and Ryu Jin participated in this project and completed the song after working on music with AI.

During the process, AI provided motifs for the composition, and the final completion of the song was the responsibility of the musician creator. When a musician plans the emotion and lyrics of a song, AI generates the initial melody and chord progression, and the creator analyzes this to set the direction of the song and completes it through arrangement and revision.

Lee Dong-eun, who served as the general producer of this project, said, “AI is simply a creative tool, and the depth and emotion of the music are completed through the work of the musician, and the emotion and message are refined solely through the hands of the musician.”

The first album of ‘HUMANICS MUSIC’, ‘The Beginning of Comfort’, which was created through this process, contains a total of 7 songs filled with emotions of comfort, with the participation of indie artists such as Jeong Ah-ro, Wisu, Lee Dong-eun, Chan-ul, Gaetong, and Yoo Young-woong.

It is a project that shows a new method of music creation where AI and musicians work together, consisting of songs that express various emotions while displaying unique musical colors, and will be held from March 15th at the Culture and Arts Center. Limited edition CDs will be provided later through the funding community ‘Tumblbug’ as a form of sponsorship. Starting March 26, the songs on the album will be released sequentially, starting with ‘It‘s Okay, It’s Okay’ by singer-songwriter Jung A-ro.

The production company Sonamu Music said, “You will be able to feel the potential of music that evokes new emotions through ‘HUMANICS MUSIC’,” and asked for attention, saying, “The innovative music experiment in which people and AI complete music together is now up to the listeners to experience for themselves.”
