Dr. Trudy Barber joins Dr. Michael Duignan to explore the provocative future of live music in an era of avatars, AI, and virtual performance. From ABBA Voyage to sex robots, holograms to immersive gigs, Barber draws on decades of digital experimentation to ask whether we’re witnessing a radical reinvention—or the slow demise—of live music's soul. They unpack nostalgia, authenticity, cyberpsychology, and the uncanny valley, all while interrogating the ethics and creativity of AI-driven cultural production. A must-listen for anyone curious about how technology is reshaping not just music, but what it means to be human.
