Track 35: Why Do We Make Music?

What really motivates the music we love?In this episode of Gig and Tell, we dive into the driving forces behind why people make music. From artists using their platform to spark political or social change, to those creating purely for entertainment, passion, or even the pursuit of fame.We explore the different intentions behind songwriting and performance, and how those motivations shape the sound, message, and impact of the music itself. Is music at its most powerful when it has something to say, or when it simply helps us escape?Whether you're in it for the art, the message, or the spotlight, this episode breaks down the many reasons music exists and why it matters.#GigAndTell #MusicPodcast #WhyWeMakeMusic #MusicDiscussion #CreativeProcess #MusicIndustry #Songwriting #Artists #MusicCulture #Entertainment #SocialChange #PodcastUK

Track 34: AI in Music

In this episode of Gig & Tell, we’re tackling one of the biggest (and most controversial) topics in music right now: AI. From AI-generated songs going viral to the growing presence of artificial artists, we ask the big questions—would you still listen to a song if you loved it, only to find out it wasn’t made by a human? Is AI a creative tool or a threat? And could we eventually lose the heart and soul of music altogether? We dive into the impact AI is already having on the industry, how it might shape the future of artists and live music, and where we personally draw the line as fans. It’s a mix of debate, opinions, and a few uncomfortable “what if” scenarios you might not have considered yet. Let us know what you think—are you embracing AI in music, or does it feel like something important is being lost? #GigAndTell #MusicPodcast #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #MusicIndustry #FutureOfMusic #AIMusic #MusicDebate #PodcastUK #CreativeIndustry #MusicFans #TechInMusic #SpotifyPodcast #YouTubePodcast
