Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason is open to using AI to create new songs for the band.
In a new interview, Mason says that artificial intelligence could potentially bridge the gap created by the long-standing rift between David Gilmour and former member Roger Waters, by generating new music as if the bassist had never left.
Mason said, “It would be fascinating to see what AI could do with new music. If you tried to run it as a sort of ‘Where did Pink Floyd go after?’ The thing to do would be to have an AI situation where David and Roger become friends again. We could be like ABBA by the time we’ve finished with it.”
