Nick Mason wants to use AI to create new Pink Floyd songs
Nick Mason has expressed his desire to use AI to create new Pink Floyd songs.
The drummer recently gave an interview to The Sunday Mirror (via Music News), where he discussed the potential to forge a Pink Floyd reunion via AI. David Gilmour declared the band to be over in 2015, saying that the iconic prog-rock band had ârun its course.â
âIt would be fascinating to see what AI could do with new music,” Mason told The Sunday Mirror. “If you tried to run it as a sort of âWhere did Pink Floyd go after?â
âThe thing to do would be to have an AI situation where David and Roger become friends again,” he continued, adding: “We could be like ABBA by the time weâve finished with it.â
He also spoke of the feud between David Gilmour and Roger Waters, expressing disappointment that it had overshadowed the band: âIn a 55-year career, most of it was great fun. We were Âenormously privileged to be in a successful band and tour the world and hang out with really interesting people. Itâs a gold card to meet all sorts of your favourite sportsmen and actors.â
Mason, who currently plays some of Pink Floyd’s earlier music as Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets alongside Spandau Ballet‘s Gary Kemp and bassist Guy Pratt, also reflected on continuing to perform Pink Floyd songs.
âThe best thing about keeping the thing going is for our benefit,” he said. “It makes sense to keep it going rather than Âshutting it down. I also enjoy it because the more time passes, the more you can look at it with a rosier glint.”
Gilmour himself has discussed the possibility of an ABBA-style Pink Floyd show, saying he would agree to it under âa series of very, very difficult and onerous conditionsâ.
Speaking about his experience watching ‘Voyage’, he said: âIf you were a determined ABBA fan, you might enjoy it.
âI thought the images of them were sort of OK, but they werenât ever going to convince me it was real. If youâre down the sort of mosh pit end of the thing and itâs all going on, itâs probably great. The best moment for me was when the live band played a song [âDoes Your Mother Knowâ] on their own.â
When asked if a Pink Floyd hologram show would ever be a possibility, he answered: âIf someone came up with all the money and all the brilliant ideas â and then once weâve agreed to a series of very, very difficult and onerous conditions â Iâd say, âYeah, OK.ââ
