Canadian visionary Devin Townsend has weighed in on the growing presence of artificial intelligence (A.I.) in music, admitting that its technical perfection left him feeling cold.

In a recent interview with Italy's TrueMetal.it, Townsend reflected on how A.I.'s capabilities have shifted his focus from achieving sonic perfection to emphasizing the creative process and human imperfections.

He noted that while A.I.

can produce technically flawless results, it highlights the value of authentic artistic expression, which he believes is rooted in the struggles and uncertainties of human creativity.

Despite some initial trepidation surrounding A.I.'s use in his own project, 'The Moth', Townsend has come to appreciate its potential for visual storytelling and now sees it as a valuable tool for artists.

This fall, Devin will embark on a European solo tour, performing a unique setlist that showcases tracks from across his extensive discography, including with STRAPPING YOUNG LAD.,PUNKY BRÜSTER,CASUALTIES OF COOL and the DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT.

The 'Metamorphosis' tour promises to be an unpredictable and immersive experience, as Devin performs solo at 23 shows across a dozen countries.

Expect an evening of sonic exploration, where Townsend's unique perspective on music creation meets the unpredictability that has become his trademark.
