Musical artificial intelligence
Can you tell if it is a robot?
Music defines our humanity. We have been developing musical instruments for more than 30 thousand years! However, in the past few decades a game changer player has appeared: artificial intelligence (AI), redefining how things are done. So, how would AI influence on music? Is it possible to create musical artificial intelligence?
Our goal
We set a challenge:
Is it possible to create a machine capable of composing music that is indistinguishable from music composed by humans?Our goal is to demonstrate that is possible! So we have been working on a system that composes music by what it 'heards'.
Results
So far we have been able to compose melodies inspired by 'human' music. To achieve this we have created a system that extracts the melody of a musical piece (audio), approximates the pitch contour by mathematical functions, and composes new melodies using a bio-inspired technique.
