Cellarhouse(AI)

Cellarhouse : are an electronic downtempo band exploring the boundaries of music tech.  

Cellarhouse produce dark electronica that aims to push the boundaries of music tech and AI generated software by fusing human performance and composition with AI generative software.

They are a four-piece outfit from four corners of the world: New York, Norwich (UK) Northern Spain and Brazil who enjoy exploring the limitations of digital music production, developing and exploiting AI creative tech and perfecting the ideal wood-fired pizza. Their sound could be described as eclectic electro-house with an undercurrent of melancholic menace.

Aside from being lifelong musicians and producers, they are also educators, who over the years have worked together on a number of projects share an interest in music tech development. Aside from the creative buzz of writing and producing music together, for this project, they also embarked on an academic study of AI audio creation, and set themselves some challenging targets for audience engagement and peer approval.

At the point they delivered their debut album 'Hard Times', creative AI tech was in its infancy and generative music software was limited, however, they embraced vocal synthesis (different from AI generated vocals) and through part-generated 'creation software', produced a comparable sounding and convincing down-tempo album. 

In 2024 their since deleted, 'Kitchen Tunes' EP, inspired by a band-member's 'wild camping' across the UK, experimented with Open Source AI production techniques. (A remixed 'Fields of The Summer' can still be found on YouTube). This was the first attempt to embrace the emerging AI music generative programmes (both emerging commercial and OpenSource software)

They returned to their Downtempo Electronica roots with their 2025 album 'Travelogue', which fused AI and 'real' performances into original compositions. 

Their final album, 'That Was...' (due for release August '25) will end this artistic and academic project, having achieved their goal of seamless, and realistic, AI integration into tech-infused original compositions. Previews of the album have already won considerable peer support from other producers and DJs, and this will form the basis of their conclusion for their forthcoming thesis on AI use in modern contemporary music. 

Their research paper on this project entitled 'Artificial Creativity: Redefining the Boundaries of Contemporary Music through AI' is due for publication at the end of the year.
