Two deceased singers will be revived via AI to celebrate Israel's 75th
Israeli music-tech company Session 42 has collaborated with fellow Israeli company Aiode to create a new song for Israels 75th Independence Day. The song, titled Here Forever, features vocal replicas of deceased Israeli singers Ofra Haza and Zohar Argov, created using artificial intelligence technology. Session 42 trained their AI singers by feeding them recordings of the original singers vocals, allowing the replicas to replicate their voices and singing styles. The song has been released to Israeli radio stations and is trending on Shazam. The collaboration raises ethical concerns about using the voice of a deceased artist, but the families of Haza and Argov gave their approval. Session 42 also had to navigate the legal aspects of using AI-generated voices in a released song. The company plans to continue utilizing AI in future music projects.

Session 42, a music production company founded by experienced tech entrepreneur Udi Anathbi, is aiming to revolutionize the conservative music industry. The company, which has raised around $4 million, operates like a start-up, with a team of experts who create, market, and even sell hits as NFTs. Session 42 is the first company in Israel established for the TikTok era, and its approach from the outset is modern. The company is already in contact with Universal and other companies. Anathbi envisions an exit for the company, but also wants to create something that remains and does justice to the outdated Israeli music industry.
