The 2nd AI Song Contest was held in Liège (Belgium) as part of the “Music and Innovation Day” at Wallifornia Music + TEch Summit in an online show due to the pandemic.

M.O.G.I.I.7.E.D. (United States) was the winner with their song Listen to Your Body Choir, combining the public vote and, specially, convincing the jury formed of eight experts led by Imogen Heap, who gave their 12 points for their rich and creative use of AI.

The winning entry took inspiration from Daisy Bell, composed by Harry Dacre in 1892, which was the first song to be sung by a computer in 1961.

Grand Final

Winner

M.O.G.I.I.7.E.D. (United States) is composed by the music researchers, producers and singers Jon Gillick, Max Savage, Matt Sims and Brodie Jenkins. The team reflected in Listen to Your Body Choir the role of AI both as a tool, as a collaborator, and potentially as an “artist” with its own creative agency. It was an organic synthesis between human and AI, which can be played around the campfire.
