“Why are we still doing this?” Throughout his career, Jojo Mayer has repeatedly explored the boundaries of what is physically possible to play and has established himself as one of the most innovative drummers of his generation. His latest project sees him interact with digital technology on stage - the result is a live symbiotic loop with man and machine which blurs the boundaries between cause and effect.

JOJO is the Nicola Tesla of drums.
excelente !
Relax.
Jojo Mayer is a giant. A driver and innovator. More creative in the purest sense. I love his restlessness and curiosity.
He has no fear of contact and sees art as a venture and risk, but also as a playground and the resulting opportunity to discover new things. He stands on the shoulders of giants and knows the meaning and responsibilty of it.
But what impresses me, in addition to his incredible virtuosity, musicality and creativity, is his vision and ability to place his artistic possibilities in a highly interesting philosophical discourse.
Jojo Mayer. Creative Musician. Innovator. Philosopher.
what a joke
@@sevenfacecomplex 😂
So refreshing and hopeful. He is a modern musical giant and innovator. Fantastic and inspiring.
JoJo “Gadget” Mayer.
keep exploring Jojo. fantastic. drumming is a language and this has new implications for language and action.
Such a fantastic drummer, Mr Mayer. A pleasure to hear and behold.
Incredible JoJo! Thanks for giving this! Greeting from
Argentina 🇦🇷🥁
Please get this amazing concept to market! ❤
I think i said that before somewhere, Jojo ist ein Philosoph A great great THINKER and Innovator. we are very lucky to live at this time with him speaking his great Mind. and yes, a true Baddass am Schlagzeug!!!
Go to Liverpool and see Paul Kappa on Saturday at the Cavern Pub. 5 hours no break, no rehearsal, live learn it on the fly band. Secret legends.
This looks to be the highest/best for artists to interface with AI, not only for music but all forms of expression. Thank you JoJo for spending your covid downtime in such a productive way!❤
the dude is an evil mad scientist for drums 😅 -been watching jojo for 15 years, super happy that he's still in good health and still playing !!
This is the future thank you again JOJO !
I appreciate Jojo's thoughts and ideas on creativity much more than I do his current musical output. It feels like the music and performance is now only a guide or a tool that allows him to examine his theories and philosophies on creativity and original thought and I kind of like this.
Man the second part of the video was very interesting and insightful
Jojo Mayer is just great. :)
Wow, so suprised about how Jojo Mayer and I‘m from Switzerland! Crazy guy and just so interesting documentary, this was really interesting and inspiring. Thank you!
Once they teach the robots to play drums with the technique, feel, musicality and inventiveness of players like Jojo Mayer, it's pretty much over. But it could also go a different way... basic run-of-the-mill "sonic wallpaper" type of music could become even more common and uninteresting --- while in-person experiences of humans making music by hand in real time will become less common and more valued. Who knows???
This is the only way I can find hope. People like JoJo Mayer will hopefully become ignored as people get back to organic creativity with other humans.
Awesome ! 🥁🥁🥁
This is fantastic! You are always so imaginative
I hope it gets available for other drummers soon.
Unbelievable!
Best wishes from Croatia guys 🎉
Cool. How did he actually do it? What is "the machine"? Is it just a program on the laptop? Did he write it himself? From scratch, or which building blocks did he use?
Exactly! Does anyone have any info on this???
Thanks for that. Both words and drumming couldnt resonate with more with me.
Like a future Tony Williams and the cultural theorist Mark Fisher who wrote a long time ago that the 21st century will be reliving the ideas of the 20th century, but in hi definition.
The way we experience artistic time periods is dying as we speak,” explains the video’s narrator. “In our current state of this new postmodern social existence that we see in the West, historicity is gone. The way we interact and experience time is starting to fade away into a confused jumbled mess of aesthetic chaos.”
Also useful how he programmed himself his very own Tim Lefebvre.
Jojo Mayer: What a beautiful human being
Truly next level !!
Very cool!
still love your work!!
Jojo is awesome
Yes!!
Awesome
He is so innovative ❤
I live in a rural town where there are nearly no other musicians. I can't wait until I see the day that I can improvise with AI in real time.
I loved to hear him talking ! As a drummer myself, it’s very interesting ! However, I think with his AI tools that follows his playing automatically. It could sound a bit less electronic or like EDM. But I guess that’s his will.
He is always thinking outside of the box. I loved the full interview but can you upload the performance of "I machine"? I think he called that way.
🔥
Apart from being a great drummer and musician this guy is also a philosopher.
Where can we buy this app/program?
“Analytical perception of fourth dimensionality, you know what I mean?”
The future is now.
need to get Jojo and Imogene (Heap) together
Ableton drummer made max for live devices for this, youtube him.
Whoah
I would propose a duet with Imogen Heap!
Esa máquina es una buena fumada
🎮🥁🔥
It's still a closed loop with the same feel, not able to flow into different yet intuitive directions like actual musicians can.
The Bays (Andy Gangadeen) have just announced a London show where Tom Middleton (Global Communication) will act as an ‘AI moderator’. This human/AI moderator may bridge this gap into pushing the music in different directions.
Always pushing the boundaries! Creativity is limitless for Jojo 😎🥁🎶
That's until H.A.L. comes along... Terminator 2, anyone?
U need to play with Björk
Ableton Live detected
super - wie immer! trotz mumble-interviewer...
This would be soooo much more listenable and entertaining without the computer generated stuff. AI at this point has no soul.
Not impressed. Just another technocratic ego trying to get attention for himself as he contributes to the extermination of humans in art.
There's no "extermination of humans in art" taking place. This is a new and evolving technology. Human technology. Musicians were always at the forefront of technological innovation and human inspired artistic expression interfaces (ie musical instruments)..
This is another tool for artists that expands their expression capabilities
@@hadror13 Ah right, the tired old "AI is just another tool" argument. This whole video is all about human replacement. And it's awful. Believe what you will.
Would soon get bored of that; not much different to a Roland electric kit, playing to the supplied tracks. Well, that’s what it sounded like. He said he was changing time sig but he was careful not to say he’s changing tempo, cos it didn’t, it was all 16ths equal 16ths. Same bass line, same key. But keep it up and you’ll put yourself (and many others) out of a job, with this sterile manufactured ‘music’. Really, it’s useless.
what a waste of talent with this crap.
WOW!!!
Very cool!
