Jojo Mayer (Nerve) Interview: AI, Me/Machine & the Future of Creativity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We sat down with one of the most forward-thinking drummers on the planet - Jojo Mayer. Jojo talks about Me/Machine, his generative music system built from two years of pandemic-era coding, inspired by a session with Brian Eno. He explains how the system responds to his playing in real time, the role of probability in making music feel alive rather than mechanical, and why he believes this moment in human history is one of the most important we've ever faced.
It was an honour and pleasure to speak with Jojo - he speaks with real passion and eloquence about music, art, and creativity. We hope you enjoy!
