Artificial intelligence (AI) is not only changing the way we listen to music, but also the way we create it. From generating new songs to mastering tracks, AI is helping musicians unlock their creativity and explore new possibilities.
AI-generated music works by feeding large amounts of data to AI algorithms that learn patterns and styles from existing music and create new compositions based on them. Some artists use AI as a tool to overcome creative blocks, while others use it as a collaborator to enhance their musical expression.
For example, David Cope, a musician, and composer, has been working on Experiments in Musical Intelligence (EMI) for 30 years. EMI is an AI system that can produce original compositions in various genres and styles. Cope uses EMI to generate musical ideas that he can then refine and edit.
Another example is Alex da Kid, a Grammy-nominated producer who used IBM Watson to analyze five years of hit songs and cultural data to find a theme for an AI-generated song. The result was “Not Easy”, a song that reached number four on the iTunes Hot Tracks chart within 48 hours of its release.
AI-generated music is not only limited to audio, but also extends to visual aspects. Metaphysic, an AI company that creates photorealistic AI avatars, recently performed on America’s Got Talent using AI projections of famous singers. The act impressed the judges and the audience with its realistic and immersive performance.
AI-generated music is not without its challenges and controversies. Some critics argue that AI undermines the human element and originality of music, while others raise ethical and legal issues around ownership and rights of AI-generated music. However, many artists see AI as an opportunity rather than a threat and embrace it as a way to expand their musical horizons.
