Paul McCartney, a member of the legendary Beatles and co-writer of many famous songs with the late lead singer John Lennon,Recently revealedThe Beatles will use artificial intelligence technology to create their final song, which will be officially announced on November 11nd.ConfirmIt is based on the demo tape of John Lennon's last work "Now and Then".
The idea of creating a new song came from the Beatles documentary "Get Back". The soundtrack composer Emile de la Rey used artificial intelligence technology to separate the vocals of the band members from the sound of instruments. Paul McCartney believed that he could use this to create songs and hoped to use it to present John Lennon's unfinished work in a specific form.
The song "Now and Then" released this time was actually based on a demo tape written by John Lennon as early as 1994. However, the poor recording quality at the time made it difficult to distinguish John Lennon's voice from the background piano playing. There was also insufficient technology to analyze and separate the sounds, unlike the two songs "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love" also written by John Lennon, which were successfully released in 1995.
This time, with the help of modern artificial intelligence technology, the sound of "Now and Then" was successfully analyzed and separated, and the bass performance of Paul McCartney was re-recorded. The drums were played by Richard Starkey (also known as Ringo Starr), who served as the Beatles' drummer from August 1962 to 8, and the string part was completed by the musicians of Capitol Studios in California. In addition, the guitar music played by the late Beatles guitarist George Harrison was retained, and a guitar solo was created in his playing style.
After completion, Paul McCartney said that the song might be the last of the Beatles, completed using advanced technology. He also emphasized that this was a creative method that the Beatles would be interested in, and further stated that this song was a true original creation of the Beatles.
