Prepare to question everything you know about AI music. Violinist and creator Daniel Kurganov has dropped a new video that’s making waves — and it’s not just because of his exquisite playing. Spoiler alert: it’s all AI.

In the video, Kurganov invites us to rethink our understanding of good string playing. Is musical nuance something we can teach, or is it a mysterious, emotional hand-me-down?

Artificial Intelligence entirely composed and performed the music, with Kurganov guiding the AI using simple text instructions. He calls it a groundbreaking technological moment, hinting at a future where AI might redefine classical music.

So, is AI a threat to the human creative spirit, or could it enhance our musical endeavours?

This video is bound to spark debates among musicians and music lovers alike. Check it out here and join the conversation.
