A.I.R Waves

A.I.r. (artificial intelligence radio) Waves, is a show where artificial intelligence takes center stage in music creation! Each episode, we showcase entirely AI-generated songs—crafted from my, or listener, ideas and shaped by cutting-edge technology. Additionally, it will be broken down into four (4) sections, each presenting a different genre or concept in music.  For example, a show may be 15 minutes of country music, 15 minutes of hip-hop, 10 minutes of parody songs and 20 minutes of listener submitted song ideas. The long-term goal is to have the entire hour filled with listener inspired songs. It’s possible that people won’t hear the same song twice for months on end.

Whether you’re here for the futuristic beats, the creative surprises, or just curious to see how AI is reshaping the music industry, Air WAVES Radio delivers a one-of-a-kind listening experience. There really is no other show like it anywhere! Anyone can submit their ideas at airwavesradio.com, and we’ll bring it to life, airing it on an upcoming show!
