Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason hopes to employ AI to create new music for the band. The 80-year-old drummer believes there is no hope of a reunion between the group’s surviving members due to the long dispute between David Gilmour and Roger Waters, who parted ways in 1985, but believes artificial intelligence might compose songs as if the bassist never left. Nick told the Sunday Mirror, “It would be fascinating to see what AI could do with new music.” If you attempted to run it as a sort of ‘Where did Pink Floyd go after?'”The solution would be to create an AI circumstance in which David and Roger rekindle their friendship.
We may be like ABBA at the end of it.” The group last performed together at Live 8 in 2005, with original member Syd Barrett, who had quit in 1968 due to mental health difficulties, dying the next year, two years before keyboardist Richard Wright died of cancer. Nick is sad that the feud has overshadowed the ‘Wish You Were Here’ hitmakers’ good moments and several career accomplishments.
He stated, “The majority of my 55-year career was enjoyable. We were extremely fortunate to be in a popular band, tour the world, and interact with such interesting individuals. It’s a gold card to meet all of your favorite athletes and actors.” The musician still performs early Pink Floyd songs with his current band, Saucerful of Secrets, and enjoys revisiting his older material. He said, “The nicest thing about keeping this going is that it benefits us. It makes sense to keep it running rather than shutting it down. I also like it because as time passes, you can see it with a rosier sparkle.
