Popular YouTube Artist Uses AI To Record New Album (theverge.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report from The Verge of a popular YouTube artist who is using artificial intelligence to produce a LP: If you heard Taryn Southern's new single "Break Free" on the radio, you'd probably just keep driving or grocery shopping, or doing whatever you do in places that still have radios playing. The song is a big, moody ballad -- the kind that might play during the climax of a Steven Spielberg movie. "Break Free" wasn't composed by a John Williams copycat, but by artificial intelligence. The song is not a fluke or a novelty for Southern either; she's using artificial intelligence platforms to create an entire album, called I AM AI. It's the first LP to be entirely composed and produced with AI. Southern used an open source AI platform called Amper Music to create the stems of "Break Free." For each track, she plugs in genre, the instruments she wants to use, and beats per minute. In return, Amper churns out disjointed verses that can be rearranged into a song, and layered beneath Southern's vocals. Southern told The Verge she's toying with four other AI music platforms, but she's not sure which of those will make the final album cut.

This is the future of music

[Anonymous Coward]

All music will be produced on-the-fly by AI specifically to suit the tastes and mood of the person listening. Real-time monitoring and feedback will act as input to the AI, allowing it to modify the music to suit the situation as needed. Music produced solely by humans will still exist but will be a novelty as it will typically be much more expensive to create and procure. Social media will allow people to share their current music stream with friends and family as desired. Record labels and for-profit music cabals will go away. The entire idea of music as a hobby will experience a tremendous paradigm shift as it becomes more personalized and less commercial.

You're correct. In fact, it's only a few steps removed from playing a Casio keyboard with the arpeggiator turned on and randomly pressing the white keys.

I've used Amper Music and it's an interesting platform. Algorithmic and generative music certainly is interesting, but like this song, it's kind of dull.

A more interesting application is having an AI produce a musical score which is then performed by human musicians. Gottfried Koenig does something like this in a more traditional Western Classical tradition rather than pop music. I prefer the live interaction of man and machine to the "throw a bunch of standard chord progressions into some software".

Re:Entirely

It's just like how "literally" now means "exponentially".

It also seems likely that whoever created Amper Music has used it to generate music. I mean the "first" at something tends to not be just some YouTube chick who used some software that someone else wrote. Possibly their other clients have also done this. It is, after all, the entire premise that Amper Music is built upon.

But apart from those two problems ... seems accurate :p

Re:Entirely

[Mal-2]

I'd be inclined to agree. I'd say this is as "entirely" produced by AI to the same degree as my own work has been for years, and many others as well. It's called Band In A Box, which has been around (though not with all the features it currently has) for almost 30 years.

I also have tracks where the entire composition was done by cgMusic, and I did all the arrangement and production, like this one, or where the computer did 80% of the composition, such as this or this.

To musicians in my position, who create their tracks from the ground up all the way to mastering, none of this is even remotely new. We've been doing it not for years, but for decades. It wasn't called AI, and "expert system" is probably more appropriate, but it doesn't change the way it is used or the results obtained.

It's not a good song, in my opinion. But in terms of its sound, rhythm, melody, harmony, flow and creativity, it's a hell of a lot better than any rap or hip hop "music" I've ever heard. At least it sounds original, and isn't just a 10-second snippet of some 1970s jazz song or some successful pop song played repeatedly, with record scratching in between and gibberish lyrics.

Back in the 1950s and 60s a lot of recorded pop music included errors, including poor timing, that would not be considered acceptable today, so it's not clear that music or musicianship is any worse now than it was. You might have an argument that perhaps there is less originality, but even in the 1960s there was a lot of plundering of blues and folk for inspiration and more. I tend to prefer music from then, though.

Well then you dismiss the overwhelming number of musicians (including singers) who do not compose their own music, but instead dedicate their careers to performing the music of others.

Singers are singers, pianists are pianists, drummers are drummers, guitarists are guitarists, composers are composers. But collectively, they're musicians.

Valid point, some "singers" can't even play an instrument, heck without AutoTune half of them can't sing.

Algorithmic Interface ?

[Fly Swatter]

The classic definition of AI to me always meant self learning and possibly even self aware. It's funny how terms change over time once it becomes a popular buzzword.

Re:Algorithmic Interface ?

[angel'o'sphere]

Actually both terms never really were part of the definition :)
Self learning in AI is e.g. just a small subset, albeit one that made strong improvements the last decade.

On the other hand in SF or movies AI is often set equal to self aware. However I doubt the computer in Star Trek is selfaware.

Re:Algorithmic Interface ?

[Anonymous Coward]

It's obviously a deep learning system that has learned to write tunes based on listening to lots of existing tunes.

That's what deep learning does. If learning to play chess like this creates a "chess-playing AI" then learning to write tunes like this creates a "tune-writing AI".

The classic definition of AI never included self-learning, and we don't even know what self-awareness is. So I guess it's funny how people ignore definitions and put their own spin onto terms and then complain that the meaning of the term has "changed" from how they understood it.

Re:Algorithmic Interface ?

[DontBeAMoran]

Whenever I see "A.I." in an article I read it as "Advanced Ignoramus".

Re:Algorithmic Interface ?

Self-learning has always been part of generalized AI. It's more like consciousness and self-awareness is traditionally weakly defined, without even evidence it may be beneficial in an economic sense (the only sense we understand in these Dark Ages).

ML for all it's shortcomings, are actually producing real practical results. However, the hype-curve ensures that we overvalue its usefulness, and of human lives in general, or life itself for that matter.

Copyright all possible variations of "music"

There should be an easier way.

Music is encoded at 44khz * 24-bit samples. That's about 1Mbits per second of audio.

Why not just run through all the permutations of possible 1s and 0s and copyright that? You'd literally have every possible 1-second sound that could exist.

Now, as to the computational power you'd need, well, there's the rub.

Re:Who gets the ASCAP fees?

[Anonymous Coward]

I assume that the "brown M&M's" reference is referring to the legendary Van Halen performance contract clause stipulating that there would be M&M's but no brown ones in the dressing room. The rational for the clause actually made some sense. "The M&Ms provision was included in Van Halen’s contracts not as an act of caprice, but because it served a practical purpose: to provide a simple way of determining whether the technical specifications of the contract had been thoroughly read and complied with." More info here:

Re:Who gets the ASCAP fees?

All it definitively demonstrates is that the M&M clause has been read and complied with. I've certainly encountered contracts in which the letter of some minor, but relatively inexpensive to meet, elements are perfectly satisfied but other elements, often more expensive ones, have not been.

My experience

[Tablizer]

I have experimented with computer-composed music, and conclude it's fairly easy to make "pleasant" music: the rules for western ear expectations are fairly straight forward; stay within the rules and it'll sound "normal".

Markov-like chains of "hit tune" chord progressions can be mined, for example, to find decent chords. And there are fairly obvious rules for how the melody moves around a given chord and chord transitions, if you simply study diagrams/plots of several hits. The melody "likes" certain distances and relationships with regard to the active chord, sort of reminiscent of the probabilistic modelling of electron orbits (positions) relative to the center of the the atom. One can fine-tune the extraction of such patterns/formulas using statistics and AI (although I just eye-balled most of it myself and used some trial-and-error).

Now whether anyone finds music generated from such pattern mining highly entertaining and/or moving is another matter. For one, such is subjective: a pattern or technique that one person really likes, another may not. The hard part is not really generating ideas, but culling them. AI may indeed be able to cull based on patterns of existing hits to find a bigger audience, but after a while the easy-to-find patterns will get tired and stale to listeners. The low-hanging fruit will be all picked and people will want something different. It's why fads like disco, auto-tune, emo rock, and techno come and go.

Even if AI-using composers hone their techniques of generating candidate music, the hard part will still be culling against actual listeners: after all, AI does not buy music: only actual human "testers" will suffice. The cost of testing (getting listeners) will be about the same regardless of whether a tune is composed by a human or machine. Thus, you need to make sure the bot's quality is competitive with a human, or you are wasting money. On the web you still have to pay for attention (unless you get really lucky with cute hamsters or the like).

Another thing, my "music machines" tend to sound like my hand-composed music. It's modelling my own head more or less being I tune it based on my preference and by grabbing samples of stuff I like in order to extract patterns from. Thus, the artificial composer is sort of an extension of myself. It's just "implementing" my preferences.

May I ask what it is you use to generate music?

Re:My experience

[Tablizer]

And closely related to the "4-chords":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

But do note (no pun intended) that my experiments were mostly focused on early classical music. "Bach era", if you will. (I even put one on SoundCloud, but don't feel like giving a link out just yet.)

Re:My experience

[Tablizer]

May I ask what it is you use to generate music?

The "auto-composer" generates either MIDI or MIDI-like codes*, which I then feed into a MIDI player (synthesizer) of some kind. I also experimented with the "csound" library to actually generate sound (.WAV files), which gives one more control over the wave-forms, but I decided that's too much micromanagement needed by the bot, and went back to MIDI players. (Csound is fun to play with, though. It's better for "spacey" music than traditional.)

Keep in mind these are hobbyist and experimental gizmos. If I were a music pro (not) it would typically be converted into traditional "music sheet" staff notation and given to the band/orchestra to practice and play. Synthesizers are just a cheap shortcut, at least for a traditional sound.

* I like to generate an intermediate form that's a higher abstraction than MIDI (but later converted to MIDI), something like the following table (or CSV) structure:

- beat number, or maybe just a "new beat" marker
- channel (instrument)
- note number (note position on the keyboard or equiv.)
- start tick (Example: 4th tick out of 8)
- duration in ticks
- velocity (intensity)
- misc. special effects indicators, such as bend or slow ramp-up

Ticks are typically 8 per beat, but may be 16 for intricate music, or 6 per beat for 3/4 time (great for Renascence tunes). I'm not guaranteeing I'm using official vocab here.

Further, I recently devised a kind of musical ASCII short-hand that gives a current-chord perspective instead of an absolute "note" position perspective. It's real nutty, but I like it. It makes one think about melodies different than the usual approach. It's interesting how a different notation makes one think differently about song construction because it highlights patterns not readily visible in the typical approach. It's roughly comparable to the feeling of using polar coordinates instead of X/Y coordinates. Certain kinds of math transformations are just easier with polar coordinates when dealing with round stuff.
