Hey MAM! Thanks for the insightful comment. I couldn't agree more - constraints can actually fuel creativity, as they force us to think outside the box and come up with unique solutions. I'm super stoked to give this "one sound, one octave, one finger" challenge a whirl. Embracing limitations and focusing on a simpler setup can indeed lead to astonishing results, as we channel our creative energies into a more focused output. I'll definitely give this "minimalist approach" a shot and see where it takes me. Thanks for the dope suggestion! Keep the creativity flowing, my friend. 🎹🚀🧠

I was wondering about the same thing but slightly different. I have a hard drive full of unfinished tracks. Maybe AI can help? 🤷🏿‍♂️

The iconic photo at 1:44 was certainly a moment in music history. If you have x-ray vision, you can see a lad in his late 20s in the top center (3rd row). He was apparently unaware that a photo was being taken :) I am that lad! This was my Forest Gump moment. I was at this NAMM show at the invitation of Dave Smith of Sequential Circuits. The reason I was invited was that I had developed a pre-MIDI hardware interface on the Apple II computer. With that hardware I had connected my Apple II to a Prophet 5 synthesizer (with proprietary digital interface). I had also created computer sequencing software to run on the Apple and "talk" to the Prophet 5. That system was on display in the Sequential Circuits booth at the NAMM show.

Agreed, Its not even music any longer

For anyone looking for the song, the video title is "John Coltrane & Stan Getz - Autumn Leaves/What's New/Moonlight in Vermont (Live 1960)".

When i was about 10, I asked my dad (a musician) a question he couldn't really answer, and that was "Will the world run out of music combinations". Bit of a weird question and I still dont know where it came from in me, but I guess it was a case of seeing all of the combinations as having a certain number of variations. What I didnt realise at the time, was that music is not just a sequence - the best music ever made contains emotion, personality, highs/lows, complete changes in tone and delivery and most of all, can actually be a signature. What I see here does blow me away, but sadly brings me back to being 10 and just answers that all gaps wil be closed, but with a lot of ingenuity and emotion lost to boot!! I am not a musician by any means, or a natual talent - Like my late dad, i am a dabbler, love music and am entirely self taught, with no actual abilty to even read music. For me though, that doesn't mean you cant be creative, expressive, make sound, or even glue bits together, to make something new, it is about creativity. I work in IT, have been investigating AI for ages, and looking at applications as well as risks. But for me this would just be a cheat. I dont care if what i create is crap, which is why i dont post any of it anyway! But! If i was to create something crap and use AI to make it good, who would really know if it was you or a bot. What this does, is completely mask individuality, creativity and true emotion of a human by creating an average based on a little experience. The only reality check for true musicians is plaing live, so I feel really sorry for my kids and the future, if using AI to make music sound real and make money, is the only true way left for humans to express one of the oldest ever forms of emotion, bond, story telling, and record of their ancestral history. TBH we are all screwed anyway, but this is just another early nail!!!!!

The 90's was golden.

It's really nice to see someone highlighting the creative possibilities of this new tech, rather than tearing it down like some futuristic version of analog vs digital.

It is strange why there aren't more A.I. MIDI generators, tbh. MIDI seems to be the perfect fit for A.I. generation - the entire lexicon of music is well understood and presumably easy enough to input to an A.I. generator. Instead, we get inadequate VST plugins (generators, players, etc) which never really seem to do much of anything useful. What exactly is the problem with MIDI and A.I. generation? Why haven't we seen a premium instrument using the tech?

@WhatIsMyPorpoise

@Chachi's Musical Experimentation What I see as an ideal compromise would be generating a harmony over a hummed voice, with tweaks possible. Humming a voice and getting a midi output already exists, but AI could refine it, and adding a generative harmony element to that could genuinely really up the simplicity of the process. Generating a melody ain't where it's at, though. Sure, I have no doubt that the tech is gonna get to a point where it won't have any issues doing complex shit on a whim considering the insane growth curves, but like, that process is so uninvolved that it's honestly kinda dull. I love the process of coming up with a melody, automating it makes things boring. It's the same thing as with art. You'll get a nice end product, but no real attachment, since you learned little to nothing about its development. I'd almost think this would be best suited for games, if not for the fact that you usually want something to be musically steady. The coolest thing I could conceive of would be automatic generation of music based on themes for situations, characters, weapons, ect being melded on the spot to resound when in action, but that would almost absolutely consume enough processing power to slow the game while doing that. Also, the music would become kinda predictable.

My electronic music Love started with the SID Chip on my Commodore 64. Loved listening to Sid versions of popular music and Rock hits. Those Sid tunes got me into alot of diffrent bands because I wanted to hear the actual versions of some songs. Then when I got my Windows 98 PC in 1999. My neighbor had hundreds of midis and he gave me a copy of all of them. I still have them and even have some favorites on my phone. Electronic produced music is great and nor to mention all the DOS games that used midi.

Such a soothing voice

Fortunately, AI is not yet ready to replace us for that. Yes, it works for 4/4 kick drum snare, a bass and an "identifiable" rhythm section. That is to say 3 tracks maximum including the bass. For the moment, the "AI", which is not an AI here because it only recognizes frequencies = note pitch. 0 emotion. Little nuance and no other distinction for groups of instruments, variations, voices and in other more "complex" musical styles. Finally, the work needed to convert a simple music seems much more time consuming and tasteless than a human transcription (which is much more fun to do).

This is a great video, thank you for the info and great fun presentation. I have been experimenting with using randomness as a precursor to melody - taking random samples which then become phrases, and then working them into workable melodies. Not exactly AI, but it's a way to get inspired by a phrase you might not have heard before. That's the beauty of something like this - not that it can generate it, because on it's face it's pretty vanilla - but to then take those vanilla ideas it generates and craft something from that, as from a lump of clay to a pot. Until AI learns the best musical ways to manipulate human emotion, AI music will remain flat/lifeless. It is we who breathe the life back into it.

To each their own. Personally I can see it as a tool for components or inspiration. Pure music? Some people are easily pleased. It takes 6 months and 18 minutes per day of playing and practice to be in the top 15% of players. This applies to all habits we practice via rota ie: hand, eye, ear and frontal lobe coordination. If pushing buttons is music and it floats your boat, enjoy. I’m betting at some point you’re gonna want to sing or add some other live or human element to the random of AI. “Oblique Strategies” look it up…

As a producer, I think it can be good for generating ideas. A.I. can't be very artist and the results are mediocre, but it can definitely help out the process.

@makers_lab

Жыл бұрын

@@Leoppassion Unless an AI has the freedom to develop a sense of taste or preference. As humans over time we develop ideas of what we like and don't like, what is tasteful and what is not to us. Fundamentally an AI doesn't care, but it could be infused with some ground rules of likes or dislikes, and also perhaps more interestingly, be given more abstract rules that aren't likes or dislikes per se but that would consequentially and necessarily lead to the development of them. It would then have what would be considered to be its own style, taste and so on that it would never have been taught and would have been self determined. Also already we have AI's such as the diffusion models that aren't really copying, but that have learnt concepts and know how to get there given text prompts. You could also imagine infusing an AI with a few basic style ideas such as liking curves and circles, negative space, more muted tones than brash colours, caring about it's instagram popularity, being told that when to post and how often matters, consistency is a good idea, and then being given an instagram account with a mission to become as successful as it can. Then coming back in 3 months and seeing how it's getting on. And the initial infusion of ideas, well that it could have sourced itself with the help of AI buddies. Being able to spawn a new AI instance, leave it to its own devices, and coming back to find that it has created a following and life for itself is entirely possible, and maybe even useful because as humans, we might find things that we could learn from whatever communities it has joined and become part of, what content it has produced and settled upon because it found it to be successful.

There is of course a very simple explanation for that. The space of tunes is so small it is difficult to generate new ones that the music industry wouldn’t consider copyright infringing, especially if the model is trained on existing music, so the devs thought releasing it would open them up to a bunch of lawsuits. In other words, blame the overly aggressive music industry, especially universal music group.

This is a very elegant, probably the most elegant music Ai related video in the history of time so far. Voice over cadence, graphics, information outline, clarity! Very elegant work. Ai in my opinion is just another helping tool for musicians, I do not think it will do more than say LPX drummer or any of the sequencers in the market today. Ai will always complement workflows rather than be an independent music creation tool. Though music making, composing benefits of lots of tech today, still musicians find only meaning in their original ideas and concepts they generate. From my experience, the more Vsts, DAWs, controllers and synths I add, the more lost I am, as if help works backwards with music. The simpler I go the more melodic and creative I get. I’m curious to see what people will make of AI in the upcoming years. Thank you for this very elegant video.
