<\/a>day, this project blurs the lines between musician and software developer. What if he winds up spending more time reselling, refining, and providing support for his Bronze software than creating his own music? Even if that never becomes an issue, I think he’s created a scenario where his customers are buying his software’s ability to make pleasing music, rather than paying for his own musical compositions. It’s conceivable a listener could start out enjoying a track, only to find that with repeated listens, it drifts further and further away from what he or she liked about it in the first place.<\/p>\nLastly, I foresee a few odd copyright issues. What if a listener repeatedly plays a track back until it morphs into a variation they particularly like and then he or she makes a static recording of the track? Can the listener use this variation as the background music for a video project without getting Gold’s permission first? After all, the track is supposedly unique, with at least some of the instrument sounds in it created on the listener’s own iOS device. It would appear to me that Gold’s copyright protection would relate to the redistribution of the Bronze software itself versus static audio captures of unique variations of its included tracks.<\/p>\n
Most modern music synthesizers essentially work this way, allowing musicians to play back stored sound samples originally recorded in a studio, which allows the instrument to sound like a grand piano, a set of drums, a trumpet, or anything else imaginable.\u00a0 Perhaps buyers of Tender Metal<\/em> are really buying a software-based musical instrument in the guise of an album?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former front man of musical group Golden Silvers, Gwilym Gold, has something new in store for listeners on his debut solo album.
