Thinking Through Making

Creative work provides a practical setting for questions about intention, authorship, aesthetic value, and artistic judgment. Working with AI involves choices about direction, selection, revision, and what deserves to become a finished work.

Music by Wil Gordon

Wil Gordon’s music explores modern smooth jazz with an edge, drawing on soul, deep grooves, and cinematic atmosphere. AI forms part of the creative process, while artistic direction and judgment shape the work.

The Questions Behind the Work

Authorship

How should we understand authorship when human direction and generative systems contribute to a work?

Artistic Judgment

What makes one result worth developing and another worth leaving behind?

Meaning & Experience

How do listeners encounter meaning, feeling, and value in music created with AI?
