First AI-generated music albums launched in Madrid, Spain

Pedro Sandoval, an innovative artist from Spain, has released the first two music albums created entirely with artificial intelligence. These albums have received certification from Spotify, marking a new milestone in the music industry. The albums feature two AI-generated singers named ZKY-18 and Dirty Marilyn. Their voices sound so realistic that they can easily be mistaken for human singers. Sandoval, along with collaborators Luis Miguel Martinez and Felipe Sandoval, developed these digital voices over three years. Last month, Spotify featured songs from these albums, including titles like "Con mi mate llegó el sabor" and "Buscando oro en tu corazón." Sandoval officially presented the albums during a significant event in Madrid, attended by music and technology personalities. Pedro Sandoval is recognized worldwide for his groundbreaking work in contemporary art and AI. He achieved early success, winning a prestigious award in Japan at the age of six. His experiences have shaped his views on AI, which he believes can vastly enhance creative expression. In interviews, Sandoval emphasizes that the quality of AI-generated work depends greatly on the artist’s input in the creation process. He also stresses the importance of cultural education for future generations, aiming to preserve artistic heritage amidst modern trends.
