I fundamentally reject altering someone else’s art as a means of updating it for modernity as a replacement, in this case, if it were being done so that forever more we hear nothing but the new stereo product.
“Is Revolver remixed in multi tracks still Revolver?”
Absolutely not.
Yet I welcome a respectful experiment that gives us an opportunity to appreciate their art from a different angle, so to speak, that illuminates their art such that we can better appreciate the original.
The things is, we’re at a remarkable threshold of technology.
So-called ‘AI’ (which at present is really only brute force machine processing with no intelligence at all and requires a knowledgeable human handler who necessarily must add his input) does have the capacity to do things we could hardly imagine.
Consider what Peter Jackson did by steadying and colorizing WWI footage.
If, in say, 1975, one went to The Beatles and explained that it were possible to ‘correctly’ do the transfer from mono to stereo, as with today’s technology, I wonder what they would have replied, and I readily admit that their answer might well have been no.
I’d like to hear Paul’s and Ringo’s opinion on the matter; in fact, they should be involved in the project.
