In this episode, we dive into the world of AI-generated music, specifically Suno, the rapidly evolving AI music creation tool, and explore how it can be thoughtfully and ethically incorporated into the summer camp experience. We discuss practical applications ranging from creating hype songs for color war, to generating personalized cabin anthems, to empowering staff and campers who may not have traditional musical backgrounds.

Our guest, Benny Horowitz, drummer for The Gaslight Anthem, brings a musician’s perspective on artistic authenticity, the soul of songwriting, and how human creativity must remain at the heart of any AI-assisted process. Together we tackle the ethical questions: Who owns the music? How do we credit creators? What’s the role of human musicians in an AI world?

This thoughtful, forward-looking episode balances optimism about technology with respect for genuine artistic expression, showing how camps can benefit from innovation without losing the human heartbeat that makes music meaningful.
