    “Of the 184 million tracks available on streaming platforms, 86.2 per cent received fewer than 1000 plays, and 24.8 percent – 45.6 million tracks – had zero plays. The oversupply of music is ‘getting in the way of real talent and real songwriters,’ UMG head, Lucian Grainge told me. ‘Many of the 120,000 new tracks flooding platforms each day aren’t songs at all, they’re ‘functional music’ designed for exercising, concentration, or sleeping. A.I. was likely to increase what he called ‘the sea of noise.’ UMG announced a partnership with Endel that would allow UMG artists to use AI to make functional versions of their songs.” From a New Yorker article by John Seabrook. Truncated a bit. Can’t wait for that new A.I. functional music.
