Björk composed score for New York hotel, with a little help from AI

Björk has created a generative score for the boutique Manhattan hotel Sister City, using AI tech from Microsoft to pull a selection of snippets of her favorite choral arrangements from her archive, Pitchfork reports. Björk said this in a statement: "My choir archives, written over 17 years that will float through the pinball of artificial intelligence by the grid of bird migrations, clouds, aeroplanes and that voluptuous thing called barometer". Not entirely clear? The video below explains it well.
