When artificial intelligence comes to mind, we imagine an emotionally barren apocalypse: we're falling in love with lines of code that can't love us back, interacting with robots who speak and move in mechanical beats, and waiting for the day our computers decide to kill us. Humanity is gone, and perfection—in the form of machinery and numeric binaries—has arrived at the expense of human bonds. But for many in the music industry, AI offers an expansive playground to grow sound and listening experiences. It’s the new frontier, only instead of conquering humanity, musical AI serves to help it.

To cap off the spring semester, Street decided to compile a list of “10 Songs Instrumental to Our Experiences,” featuring ten songs with personal stories chosen by different members of 34th Street’s music staff and our editors. Music is a big part of all of our lives, and we all have those songs that remind us of home, got us through a tough time, or otherwise defined our adolescence. So here is a small piece of our story, featuring songs that—for different reasons—have contributed to who we are.

Audiotree describes their Far Out series as a, "series where we step outside our studio to record artists in unusual environments." Far Out serves as their artsier outlet, where bands perform in unique locations around Chicago (where Audiotree is based), shot in rich colors and in one continuous shot, taking full advantage of the space. With one band performing two songs, it's a great way to get introduced to new music or to see your favorite band in a whole new light. Listed below are a few of my favorites, which is by no means exhaustive, and I would encourage anyone to check out the series to find their own favorites.

After several days of speculation about the end of Philadelphia’s Trocadero Theatre, owner Joanna Pang confirmed that the music venue would be closing in late May. Established in Chinatown in 1870, the Trocadero Theatre originally showed musical comedies under the name Arch Street Opera House. Throughout the years, it has served as a stage for vaudeville and burlesque shows, an art house cinema and fine arts theater, a dance club, and finally its current use as a concert hall and live music venue. Listed on the U.S. Register of Historic Places, the Trocadero has served as a center of Philadelphia’s culture throughout history.

It’s no secret that our social media feeds are full of advertisements.

Gesaffelstein, one of the leaders of the futuristic, dark, and glitchy electronic music movement, perhaps set the bar too high with his debut album, Aleph, released in 2013. His sophomore album, Hyperion, sounds similar to Aleph, but without the edge or bite. Indeed, one could go so far as to call Hyperion a step back from Aleph, as the 10–track, 40–minute album is mostly filled with forgettable filler and a couple memorable tracks. The French DJ, otherwise known as Mike Levy, has shown in the past that he has the capability to produce intriguing and unique sounds, but as far as fascinating beats go, almost all tracks on Hyperion miss the mark.

This past year has seen the return of the cowboy. Musicians from both country and indie genres have been referring to cowboys in their songs and often embodying the cowboy ethos in their performance. Some wear a cowboy hat and flannel, while other are adopting this persona in more subtle ways. Although there are many iterations of the cowboy in contemporary music, a few common themes run through their music: A cowboy is an adventurous outsider, relishing the freedom of being on the move and not tied down.

I wasn’t the oldest non–parent seeing Set it Off at Union Transfer on March 3—that honor belonged to my twenty–one–year–old friend—but I was the tallest, often several inches above the brace–faced and pimply high school students surrounding us in the pit. I came from the punk and hardcore scenes, and my friend from metal—both genres prone to raucous shows with headbanging, moshing, and even a few walls of death. We had survived acts like The Descendents and Marilyn Manson. Surely we could go just as hard as an audience not yet old enough for a driver’s license. Instead, we left that show with no voice, agonizing pain from neck to lower back, and the uncomfortable realization that we might be getting too old for this.

At last week’s print production night, we got a text that sent the Daily Pennsylvanian office into shockwaves: Penn’s operations had been suspended for Wednesday, Feb. 20. Our first — and possibly only — snow day of the year was here.

When I walked into the theater last summer to see Incredibles 2 with my friends, I had already heard about Bao, the animated short film that accompanied it. After all, it's hard to ignore when your last name appears as the title of a project by a major film studio.

In 2012, American rapper Nas released “Cherry Wine,” a song featuring vocals from Amy Winehouse that went on to be nominated for the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 55th Grammy Awards. The single, written by Winehouse, Nas, and Saleem Remi, was one of Winehouse’s last few projects before she died on July 23, 2011. The music video, which premiered October 2, 2012, featured Winehouse’s iconic vocals and ended with a tribute to her. The now–classic rap song is haunted by Winehouse’s soulful croons, especially on the line, “I wanna go through my red and my cherry.” The song as a whole is beautiful, yet painful.

At four in the afternoon, students stream into the Starbucks below 1920 Commons. Muffled by orders of cold brews creamed with coconut milk and toffee syrup, “Take Five” croons softly through the speakers on this late February Friday. The weekend slips by and soon, teenagers trudge along the second floor of Fisher–Bennett Hall, where the sticky–sweet melody of “In the Mood” playing through an open office door alleviates Monday’s somber atmosphere. Jazz music—especially in settings teeming with life such as a university campus—often does not beg to be listened to. It instead fills the cracks where silence doesn't suffice and other genres do not fit. However, the space it once inhabited was vast.
