https://boomy.com - try the “ambient” filter in beats, or anything in meditation / relaxation style

As with most of the options suggested in this thread, no pricing and no explicit definition of whether it can be used on videos and no clear definition that I can save output of a specific length.

I get the impression that most of the music software companies are run by people who are very musically/engineering oriented, but not very connected to the business side of things.

I shouldn't have to send an email to a company saying "how do I buy this?"

Without any obvious product or service for sale, it's not discernible from a hobby project.

Not sure if this helps at all, but here's one that was featured here on HN not too long ago: https://generative.fm/

Thanks for sharing this, I'm the author of Generative.fm and the music systems on it.

Just wanted to pop in to tell OP that there's a recording feature built in to the site, and everyone is free to use the recordings for whatever they'd like - I just ask that you give attribution (it's licensed under CC-BY 4.0). Though, there's no configuration and I don't use AI, if that matters.

EDIT: I forgot to mention it's free, and all the music is ambient.

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.

Yup, Jukedeck solved exactly this. Looks like they got bought by ByteDance very recently (https://musically.com/2019/07/23/ai-music-startup-jukedecks-...)!

To add to this list, I haven't used it but I've recently listened to a few demos of the commercial orb composer [1]. I personally think that the melodies and hooks of these music generators usually sound a bit lame, but orchestration and accompaniment somehow make up for it.

>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.

It is pretty simple: The app lets me make music clips of a certain time duration, save them and use them on videos royalty/license free. The app gives me some control over pace/style of music. I pay either a once off or monthly fee to use it.

Simple to describe, not accomplish. Think about the sheer amount of genres/sub-genres, what you're describing can probably be done in a few popular genres by some ML algorithm.. But are the results good enough?
