63. Adrian Holovaty on Soundslice, Chat GPT Hallucination, and the Future of Interactive Scores
Adrian Holovaty is the founder and CEO of Soundslice, a web-based application for learning music that combines audio, video, and music notation. We recorded this conversation in July of 2025, a few weeks after Soundslice was in the news because Chat GPT was directing its users to Soundslice promising a feature that did not exist. What makes the story even more insane is that in response Adrian decided to quickly develop and implement that feature, making Soundslice arguably the first company in history forced to add a feature to its product because of an AI hallucination.Follow the work of the Music Notation Community Group

60. Dan Forrest: Composing and Marketing Major Works
I'm very excited for today's episode! Joining me is composer Dan Forrest to talk about everything that goes into composing and marketing a major or multi-movement work a.k.a. one that's much longer than a typical composition or arrangement.We tend to focus on those shorter pieces of music on this show, because that's normally the place for aspiring composers to start. But, as you'll soon hear, those larger works have their place and there's a lot to be gained from writing them.We of course got into publishing as well. Dan has a fantastic perspective as someone who's both a composer and an editor and also as someone who's chosen both traditional and self publishing for his works, making him the perfect type of guest for this show!
