Meet the Artist interview - Sean Hickey

Sean Hickey spoke with Frances Wilson, auteur of The Cross-Eyed Pianist, on influences, challenges, pleasures and all manner of things in this wide-ranging interview.

“AI is like irony, something we like to think we know the definition of but haven’t a clue. Generative intelligence tools are poised to rewrite most of the aspects of life, and we’d be foolish to think they won’t influence creativity, even becoming – as it is now – as valid a compositional tool as an instrument or pencil. It may also offer us – like the nascent days of the internet and on-demand streaming – a way for original music to find an even broader audience.”
