#102One problem is that you might want to make it so you can hear a sample before it consumes your quota.
Isn't the quota only applied to downloads? So you can listen to it before you download it.
That's right - sorry, we've obviously got to improve our copy! The quota is only applied to downloads - you can create as many tracks as you like and listen to them for free.

#103To me the exciting thing about automatic music composition isn't royalty-free prerecorded music, but the potential for real-time composition. Imagine a video game where your actions instantly affect the music, not just by splicing together prerecorded clips but actually by having new music composed and performed in real time. Or, somewhat more fancifully, imagine a set of headphones that play a continuous soundtrack…
yeah, that's a really freaking good idea. One gets bored of hearing the same music over and over again in a video game... and having something plays to the right ambient mood (battle, wandering, etc) would be really cool.
Part of the appeal of FF7 is the soundtrack. Make that dynamic, and you would've ruined FF7.
It's a good idea that makes sense for a lot of games. Just pointing out a counterexample.

#104According to their pricing page ( https://www.jukedeck.com/pricing ), you can use the track free of royalty, but if you want to actually own it, you have to pay $199. But this falls kind of in a gray area. If the AI created the tracks, why does the company own the copyright (and thus, have the right to sell it)? In December 2014, the United States Copyright Office stated that works created by a non-human are not subj…
Here's an—in my opinion—almost exact equivalence: a font is a little program in a nearly-Turing-complete language. Nobody really cares what fonts end up on your computer. But if you create an image (e.g. an advertisement) that contains pixels manipulated by the font-program you ran on your own computer , then you have to pay to license that use of the font. Within the realm of audio production, there's an even closer…
But in your examples derivative product depends on creative input which was put into original product. Music generating AI can be replaced by other AI created by different people but on the same principles so it produces similar music. Binaries produced by gcc don't bear GPL license and Adobe can not dictate license on pictures created in Photoshop.

#105Does anyone (perhaps a music theorist) know what rules determine what notes sound well following each other/together? I find an interesting parallel between 1/2/4/8 repeating beats/parts in songs, and binary...
The rules are different for different styles, and they're hard to get right, because musical structures are holistic, and multi-layered. The domain of interest is at least as long as a phrase, and can be as long as the entire piece - which means that potentially every note is related to every other, and the data structures you use have to understand how and why.
I'm finding the tunes the least successful element here. They sound like a fairly naive Markov sequence/chord spine mashup, with none of the character of really good tunes.
The sounds/production are much better. The drum parts are midway between the two.
>I find an interesting parallel between 1/2/4/8 repeating beats/parts in songs, and binary...
There's more to it than that.
Good algo-comp is PhD-level work. Kemal Ebcioglu, who made one of the best efforts to date, had to add a lot of hand-rolled heuristics to an expert system that was trying to produce classical counterpoint. He was last seen working for IBM research on compilers and architectures for parallelism - a very smart guy.
It's easy to underestimate how hard the problem is.

#106If I were doing this, I'd be interested in finding ways to find out more about what people like and don't like in the generated songs and then use that to improve the algorithm.

"If the AI created the tracks, why does the company own the copyright (and thus, have the right to sell it)?"
The same reason artists like Autechre deserve to own the copyright to music they created using algorithms. They wrote the software that made the song, it's just somewhat more abstracted version of composing isn't it?

#108post your tracks people, I want to hear more :D Here are some: https://www.jukedeck.com/share/719dc9ccb6488e44bc5a5019ac6e4... https://www.jukedeck.com/share/fa3ed812e6710a48f8abcf2392be7... https://www.jukedeck.com/share/4f6b44bd50d958a0c00c4044248f5...

#109The music it generates in Electronic - Aggressive - Drum and bass - 130-135 bpm could replace my spotify subscription, pretty good stuff and when you get tired of a track, you just generate a new one that you can download Awesome!
