Re:Show HN: ÆTHRA – Writing Music as Code

The main challenge lies in helping someone articulate their own emotions, feelings, and musical intentions. Personally, I find this difficult to achieve on my own. Structured dimensions can certainly support a music project, but they may lack effectiveness if there is no clear understanding of the intended objective from the outset.
Nice project! Thanks for sharing. I would say that a robust qualification process may constitutes the primary added value of your project. Much like a sales representative who can methodically understand a prospect’s needs, it may be worth helping users clarify their internal feelings first.
Exploring how other scientific or artistic disciplines address this challenge could also be valuable.

Thanks for your feedback! So even the AI recommendations aren't that useful? To be honest, none of these feature are live in France so I'm still using my good old tricks to create a playlist...
Ask HN: Anyone tried Spotify's AI DJ feature?
Hi folks, Spotify has been rolling out an AI-powered DJ feature for a little while now. It’s available to Premium users, but I don’t have access to it here in France yet.I’m curious: - Has anyone here actually used Spotify’s AI DJ? - What’s the experience like compared to regular playlists? - Does the AI voice/commentary add value or get irritating? - How good are the recommendations and...
