For a century the American music business has periodically replaced the people who play with a machine that plays, and each time the argument has been the same one: whether what comes out is the thing or a copy of the thing. The theater organist lost his job to a sound film in 1929. The session player lost hers to a drum machine in 1982. In 2023 a model trained on recorded music began producing finished songs from a sentence of text, and five working musicians — Rick Beato, Jacob Collier, Tal Wilkenfeld, Esperanza Spalding, Grimes — found themselves standing where the organist stood. This is an account of what an instrument costs to learn, what a machine costs to buy, and who has ever been paid for either. Covers Rick Beato, Jacob Collier, Tal Wilkenfeld, Esperanza Spalding, and Grimes.
