MuseNet will play an experimental concert today from 12-3p PT livestreamed on our Twitch channel. No human (including us) has ever heard these pieces before, so this will be an interesting showcase of MuseNet’s strengths and weaknesses. Through May 12th, we’re also inviting everyone to try out our prototype MuseNet-powered music generation tool.

Is the tool out yet? Not sure if I'm missing a link somewhere on that page. Excited to try this out!

Damn, I was just about to code this!

Generative music is definitely on the come-up. If you like this, also check out https://generative.fm/ , which is from another HN member.

I wonder if, with OpenAI's state-of-the-art text synthesis, they could 'relatively' easily add stories with words and lyrics into this music.

Neat output, the project is very similar compared to the Google Doodle a few weeks back, where they generated music based off of user-submitted notes. https://www.google.com/doodles/celebrating-johann-sebastian-...

Since this is OpenAI, is MuseNet open source?

I really, really want to see a live band or orchestra play a set of AI-composed pieces, none of which were filtered or manipulated by humans. Just generate MIDI, spit out sheet music (hopefully written well enough that it can be sight-read), and hope for the best. I'd buy a ticket for that, without a doubt!
