This seems incredibly applicable to musical scores in movies. I can imagine a product where the editor/director/someone inputs a handful of variables (mood, genre, instruments, etc) and timing requests (crescendo beginning at 30s and ending at 75s, calm period from 90s - 120s, etc) and out comes a musical score for the movie that matches up with their scene editing.

And do the same for the actors, script, lighting and sound effects. And also have some AI for the 'input variables', after all Netflix already does that to select their content.

And then we'll have Utopia!

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?

Not yet, but we plan to release the code & pre-trained model!

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 think https://brain.fm also came out of HN.

I've used it once or twice, but for whatever reason, nothing sounds better to me than the music I used to listen to when I was a teenager.

It might be a way off that for "production", but for editing, when a score isn't finished yet, as filler to help the editing process, this could be an amazing tool.

Maybe more interesting for video games, where you can have a realtime input of gameplay variables.

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.

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!

We'll be playing generated MIDI without human filtering or manipulation today (though playing them synthetically of course)! If you know of an orchestra looking for some music, we could do the rest of what you describe :).
