once they perfect the computer brain interface, and they are well well on the way, the whole jig will be up. what is there to possibly improve upon once you can mix down directly from your internal soundstage? i can read all of your comments with wilem dafoe's voice narrating in my head. what will happen when any average person can release that kind of hell out into the world with no particular effort?

music is the destination. the destination has, and will always be the same. science will only effect how we get there.

Well, if you go far enough into the future it may be that our intellect will have a better way
of enjoyment than to absorb human artifacts like music and art. We can speculate about the
far future but more interesting is to discuss the next 20 years as we may be able to see how
accurate/inaccurate we were.

Here's one that's not that far fetched. Your smartphone has an autocomplete feature where it predicts what word you are typing and you pick from 2 or 3 possibilities instead of finishing typing. Similarly, it should be possible for your DAW to autocomplete musical phrases as you are playing or entering them. You play 3 notes and the DAW suggests several possibilities for completing the phrase.

This would be a popular (but controversial feature) because it appeals to laziness. Bang out a new track in minutes with your DAW autocompleting all the parts. If the built-in autocomplete isn't working so well, just purchase a Platinum Autocomplete Pack for your genre for $149.99.

On a similar note

I use the intelligent randomise feature in Absynth and other VST's.
Then I go in and tweak. VST's that have this feature are more likely to be purchased
by me. Yes I know the right way is to start from scratch but I do not have the
patience to learn how nor the patience to do it.

The super VST Randomize that will intelligently not only randomize your settings but
finish your musical phrases to perfection now only $399. Release date to be announced.

And those with minimal talent looking for immediate results without putting in much effort.

Sound banks buyers will love it.

Cognitone products already do this, as well as Cubase chord assistant to some degree

it will probably become even *more* about mind-boggling production and less about composition or actual musical ideas

Science usually takes music, ironically, into very unmusical places. People then figure out the bits they like, the bits that are useful, and then it slowly makes it's way back into the mainstream. FM, granular etc. all took this kind of path.

We'll get a little closer to emulating the phatness of old analog hardware.

Science has already taken musical possibility far past the comprehension of almost everyone.

Composers were excited as hell by the possibilities presented by RCA Mark II. And it used PUNCHCARDS! Talk about a crappy workflow!

Things have improved a bit since then.

Music is much more sophisticated and intricate than most commercial productions would lead one to believe. But no one ever makes a fuss about pointing this out because there is simply no money to be made from it. And as FZ asked many years ago: "Who gives a f%#k anyway?"

Wow! mysterious and vague statement time.Since you seem to know this destination I'm presuming you've been "there". Maybe in your pre- or after or lets try and imagine something other than life life.

Sounds like a religion. So you mean we could get "there" by space craft rather than horse back?. Or by "there" are you implying a religious/creationist form of belief, where humans are at the centre of their own egotistically, self opinionated, proof-less grand assumptions (and there sits most religions). How do so many people get it into their tiny little subjectively wired heads ( mines comparably tiny too, though not as subjective as many) that what they believe can change objective reality (they must think their some kind of deity). Why bother doing any physical work when we can all just "think it real"

. .
Statistically it maybe dangerous to mock ignorant people

. But , for the love of evolution. They can't see the tree's for the "mmmm..?what could I make out of these things?. Like them (tree's) making oxygen isn't good enough for them!. I guess in their tiny heads,the spirits whom dwell at there imagined destination don't need oxygen and that's why for many it makes "sense" to wipe out entire forests.

Apologise for the rant. So yea? Music may or may not have an amazing future provided the ignorant (self proclaimed smart people whom don't use something as trivial as evidence as they get their sh--t from a higher power) don't ruin what we have in the name of some weird belief that they think is normal because billions of crazies believe in it (ape see ape do).
