BMG recordings artist and Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Wilson, has released his brand new single, ‘Marzipan’, accompanied by a music video produced entirely using artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

“With my new single ‘Marzipan,’ I wanted to break out of any and all comfort zones I may have lapsed into as a writer, narrator, producer, or player,” says Wilson. “The song chronicles some of my life autobiographically when I lived in NYC in the early 2000s in my 20s. The feeling of Greenpoint, Brooklyn at that moment. Countering that with a deep dive into Hank Williams, Roy Acuff, and my early fascination with the Harry Smith Anthology during those years, I was obsessed. And of course, jazz, which changed my life forever.”

The music video for ‘Marzipan’ was created using AI stable diffusion, a latent text-to-image diffusion model. This technology is conducive to illustrating the vivid, psychedelic, dreamlike lyrical journey of the song.

The story and the technology used in the music video also pay homage to the great Terence Mckenna who predicted, “The future is going to be a combination of biological and technological intelligence. You're not going to be able to tell where the human stops and the machine starts.”
