In this final episode of A History of Music and Technology, Pink Floyd鈥檚 Nick Mason discovers how rapid digital innovation is shaping the way we make, listen and interact with music.

He reveals how artificial intelligence is taking human input out of musical composition and how virtual reality is reshaping the recording studios of tomorrow.

But in an age where everyone can have access to music-making technology, how do you stand out? And has the internet made it too easy to copy what has come before us, rather than create something which is completely brand-new?

The series is produced in association with the Open University.
