Ask HN: Recommendations for AI generated music software?

#1
It's surprisingly hard to find a solution for these simple requirements:

I want to create AI generated to use as soundtracks on videos - so there must be no question about royalties or copyright

I want to be able to specify how long the music should go for.

I want to be able to save the music.

It would be great if I could have some control over the pace/style of the music but I'm not a musician so lots of options would be detrimental. I don't want to compose music - I want it made for me.

I'm happy to pay, but the prices must be clear and up front and not require me to email the company to "make an enquiry".

I've done a fair bit of searching but not found anything to make AI music that meets these needs. It's strange given there is so much interest in AI I would have thought there would be plenty of good products available to buy.

Ideally I'd like to make music such as ambient music, similar to Brian Eno, Jean-Michel Jarre, Phillip Glass, but it would be great just be able to explore a range of types of music to find what I want.

Can anyone recommend any good AI music generators?

Uf damn, just seen that one of the companies thatdid this https://www.jukedeck.com/ is not doing it any more.

They had everything for free, and the music seemed perfect for background music for videos, etc... You could configure parameters, including the time and get an interesting track out.

What you want is a plain old music generator app. Search for "generative music". Drop the Ai, it's overkill. Also with the amazing tech these days anyone can be a musician. It's basically push-botton.

Bloom on the iOs app store. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bloom/id292792586

Someone's cloned Bloom: https://github.com/generative-music/blossom

Wotja too maybe. Here's their FAQ about rights: https://intermorphic.com/wotja/faq/#faq-recording-ownership

>for these simple requirements What gives you the idea that these requirements are simple for an AI to live up to? I'm only a novice in AI, but the product you're asking for seems very complex.

OP wants to make ambient music, much simpler than generating music with lyrics.

Shameless self-plug, I maintain a Spotify playlist that is optimized for getting me into "Flow." I use it for coding/thinking. It has 677 tracks so far. See here: https://whoami.sh/thought/flow-playlist

https://brain.fm/ also has some good stuff. Some of it is tailored for focusing and works pretty well as coding music. I believe their stuff is AI-generated.
