The concerts will be possible thanks to an artificial intelligence technology that has allowed to isolate the singer’s voice after being lost many of the original multiple recordings.
Thirteen years after Whitney Houston’s premature death at the age of 48, one of the most celebrated voices in the history of music will return to the stages in tour – thanks to artificial intelligence.
A new series of concerts, The Voice of Whitney: The Symphonic Celebration, debuts on September 20, combining isolated voices, file videos and live performances of symphonic orchestras. Unlike previous concerts of posthumous tax, this production required advanced technology to overcome a unique obstacle: many of Houston’s original multiple recordings had been lost.
To make the show possible, Park Avenue Artists producers partnered with Moises, an artificial intelligence musical platform specializing in audio separation. The company used its proprietary models to isolate Houston’s voices Of the fully mixed studio tracks, reconstructing them with a quality close to the original. “We had to isolate Whitney’s vocals without compromising the emotional power of his performance,” said Moses’ co -founder and CEO Geraldo Ramos. “A show like this simply would not have been possible five years ago.”
The tour coincides with the 40th anniversary of the debut album From Houston, released in February 1985. After an early Nashville this summer, the show now expands to seven US cities, including Cincinnati, Wilmington, Thousand Oaks, Carmel, Waukegan, Palm Desert and Table. Fans can expect a repertoire with Houston’s most cherished successes, such as I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Love Me), I Will Always Love You and Higher Love.
Moses, which operates 45 AI -owned models capable of processing 2.5 million minutes of audio daily, sees the project as a proof of concept for future collaborations with renowned artists, says. Park Avenue Artists co-president, Ross Michaels, described the tour as “a powerful example of how AI can honor the legacy of artists And at the same time, enriching the public’s experience in beautiful and respectful ways. ”
This is not the first time that Houston’s estate approves a posthumous digression. In 2020, a hologram -based production It was released globally, reliving your image on stage alongside a live band. This effort, supervised by the Hologram base, followed by honors similar to Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly and Maria Callas.
Still, posthumous presentations continue to be controversial, with critics to question consent and artistic integrity.
