The first computer-composed music is often credited to 1956 'Illiac Suite'. The fella atop this protest co-created 'Jukedeck'.

But performing music is a whole nother thing. There, the secret sauce of personality and style is unlikely to be eclipsed by robots. Very often a choon that goes nowhere can be mysteriously lifted to the top-ten. How that works won't be tokenized soon.

Sorry "UK Artists" but that itself is copyright infringement of a work by John Cage

I suppose we wouldn't allow an alien race to release music in our market on Earth, would we? Although if they had a human agent on Earth, perhaps they could release music under a dedicated Alien label. Human musicians wouldn't like having their grass cut by Aliens, so they campaign to ban Alien music. The Aliens protest, saying "let the market decide." I'm not sure what happens next.

    I can’t imagine why we wouldn’t allow aliens to release music here. Not sure what form royalties would be in.
