Ep 35: CEO of Suno Mikey Shulman on Future of Music with AI, Tactics for Model Eval and Solving the Blank Canvas Problem

Multiplayer Music

Suno is revolutionizing music creation by emphasizing a 'multiplayer' approach, allowing users to collaborate both synchronously and asynchronously. Mikey Shulman envisions a platform where musical conversations can happen in real-time or over time, similar to natural language exchanges. He believes that this approach can recreate the joy of jamming with friends, even for those who aren't expert musicians 1.

I think the most fun I have ever had on this planet is jamming with my friends. And I think I see no reason that we can't give that to people.

Patrick Chase adds that this could lead to a new breed of musicians skilled in this collaborative art form, making live music creation a social experience 1.

   

Social Experiences

The social aspect of Suno extends beyond collaboration to include digital concerts and interactive experiences. Mikey Shulman shares an experience where a Twitch streamer hosted a digital concert using Suno, engaging a massive audience akin to a football stadium 2. This interactive format allows viewers to participate, transforming passive listening into a dynamic group experience.

It was just so powerful to me to realize that, like, that was bringing together a whole football stadium of people.

Patrick Chase notes the potential for Suno to become a fundamental part of various creative processes, from music to comedy, highlighting its versatility and appeal 3.
