FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Revolutionary AI Tool Promises to Bow Your Orchestral Parts in Seconds

[Austin, TX — April 1, 2025] In a groundbreaking technological leap set to transform the lives of concertmasters worldwide, a new AI-powered tool promises to take the guesswork out of orchestral bowings, and it only takes seconds.

The new program, BowBot AI, allows concertmasters to upload blank music PDFs and instantly receive fully bowed parts in the style of iconic concertmasters past and present. Whether channeling the precision of Robert Chen (Chicago Symphony), the elegance of David Kim (Philadelphia Orchestra), or even the legendary Glenn Dicterow (New York Philharmonic) and Joseph Silverstein (Boston Symphony), BowBot AI offers a veritable masterclass at the click of a button.

“I can finally sleep at night,” concertmaster Heiliger Dankgesang, declared. “No more pouring over YouTube videos at 2 AM trying to catch a glimpse of a downbow. Now I just select ‘Gingold Flow’ and let the magic happen.”

The tool goes beyond mere bowing generation. Using proprietary “Librarian-Optimized Formatting Technology” (LOFT), BowBot AI ensures each part is perfectly aligned to your orchestra’s preferences. It has already earned the endorsement of MOLA: An Association of Music Performance Librarians.

Additional features include:

  • “Principal Pleaser Mode” to match your section’s lead player’s tendencies
  • “Unanimity Protocol” for perfect section uniformity, eliminating those pesky “rogue upbows”
  • “Bach to the Future” mode for historically informed performance practice

BowBot AI is currently in beta testing but promises to roll out globally in the coming months. Orchestras everywhere are preparing for a future where bowings are no longer a source of existential dread.

As one first violinist put it, “It’s like having a pantheon of concertmasters in your pocket, but without the judgment.”
