- A new concert tour with the isolates of the original voice of Whitney Houston and combines them with a live orchestra
- The technology used to rebuild your voice establishes a new posthumous show bar
- The perfect art for AI can remodel what the public expects from live performances
Thirteen years after the death of Whitney Houston, his voice is back on stage thanks to AI. “The Voice of Whitney: Symphonic Celebration” is starting a national tour with the voice of Houston isolated with the help of AI and is presented along with a live orchestra. It is intended to be a sincere tribute to the 40th anniversary of its debut.
This show is different from other attempts to resurrect artists with technology because it would have been impossible until recent advances of AI. Many of Houston’s original multitrack recordings are lost, so recreating them with any loyalty is more complicated than just making a Houston hologram.
The Music Production Company of Moises, which specializes in separation from the stem, taking off voices of fully mixed audio tracks. Using AI models trained to isolate the audio, Moses extracted Houston’s voice from the mixed clues. The concert combines Whitney’s voice with live orchestration and cured images.
“We knew this had to do well,” said Pat Houston, an executor of the Whitney E. Houston estate, in a statement. “The artists of Moses and our partners Park Avenue raised the idea with the heart, care and creative excellence that Whitney always embodied. The result is something really special: a gift for fans for a long time and a powerful introduction for a new generation that discovers his voice.”
Ai authenticity
This is the world in which we are now on tiptoe. The new Houston show revolves until November, stopping in cities from Waukegan to Palm Desert. Production promises favorites as Higher love, I don’t have anythingand I will always love you, reintroduced with a level of clarity that only modern AI can provide.
“We had to isolate Whitney’s voices of completely mixed recordings without compromising the emotional power of his performance,” said the CEO of Moises, Geraldo Ramos, in a statement. “A concert like this would simply have not been possible five years ago, before Stem separation technology achieved the precision and faithfulness that we can now deliver.”
Of course, Whitney is not the first posthumous star to travel again, and this is not the first tour since his death. His hologram went to the road in 2020. But the new one stands out for being audio and free of visual discomfort that holograms have not yet conquered completely.
It may be among the most respectful of LEDs based on the complete support of the farm. Unlike some music projects where dead artists are forced to ‘collaborate’ in the songs that never knew that they existed, this show adheres to the true Whitney catalog. Simply present it, clean it and organize it again, in a way that its original recordings could never be.
Even so, it is difficult not to think about the next steps. If the separation of Stem obtains this so good, what prevents the catalog of each classic artist from being renewed? Will we see duets of AI with inherited voices cut and served on new clues? Will 2030 be brought to the ‘Frank Sinatra Sza’ road?
