!
A song made using AI
Now and then is the fruit ofa work of several decades. Indeed, the song was recorded by John Lennon
in his New York apartment at the end of the 1970s. In 1994, fourteen years after the latter’s assassination, his widow Yoko Ono
gives the song to the other members of the group, Paul McCartney
, Ringo Starr
And George Harrison
.
All three will rework it, again and again, without ever managing to perfectly extract John Lennon’s voice. We will have to wait until 2023, i.e. 40 years after John Lennon’s first recordingfor Paul and Ringo to complete this music by mixing it using artificial intelligence and reveal it to the delight of Fab Four aficionados.
An impressive mix
To do this, they called on Peter Jacksonthe director of the documentary series Get Back and the trilogy of Lord of the RingsFor extract voice by John Lennon and make the clip. Additionally, they added electric and acoustic guitar recordings made by George Harrison in 1995, 6 years before his death. Finally, the last members of the group still alive offered additional piano, bass and drum notesrecorded by them in studios in Los Angeles.
A farewell song
Is it their ultimate song ? Or will we have the opportunity to discover other unusual music of Liverpool group
? In Paul McCartney’s own words, “This is probably the last Beatles song“.
