Slightly orthogonal to your request, but I'm not quite sure what you get by choosing machine generated music over human generated music WRT copyright. The machine generated music will be considered a derived work under copyright, so you're going to need a license for it anyway. You could just obtain music from a human and get a license as well.

I don't think this is true. The output of a program is not considered as a derivative work of that program. E.g. Is a photo taken by a digital camera considered a derived work from the camera firmware?

I run a company that tries to solve your problem!

We haven’t done a big public launch yet - but we use AI techniques to compose work for existing clients (think businesses + Youtube video creators).

We try to take all friction out of the process.

Here’s how it works: You send link to your video. Tell us what emotions you want / any requirements (we have a simple form). Our AI engine then structures and creates a song exclusively for you (no royalties / copyright). We then have our in-house composers make final adjustments and sync it perfectly w/ your video. We price a lot less than normal composition studios due to the AI piece.

Trying to talk to as many customers as possible. If I could ask you a few questions or if you want to be a beta customer please email me at: leagueduels@gmail.com I’d greatly appreciate it!

FYI: Our typical rate is $200 for original soundtrack for up to 3 minute video + $25 for each additional minute. Includes the composition and syncing to the video with intros / fade-outs, etc. Comes with exclusive life-time license to the track. We currently have clients paying at many different price points, so still trying to figure out the right one.

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.

Hi, thank you for compiling and maintaining the playlist. It's been weeks since I first discovered it and it has replaced brain.fm for me.

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/wo…

And this is why it's getting harder and harder to find decent electronic music that doesn't sound like a chimp threw its shit at a wall; because some wanna-be with no musical skill can download a few loops, layer them up in their cracked FL Studio (or whatever) and over-compress the shit out of it for their "mastering". imo electronic music was much better when there was a barrier to entry in so much as you needed about $5k worth of equipment before you could produce something semi-decent.

What if a client does not like the result?

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 com…

Boomy's EULA [0] is a fairly easy read that covers the business side of things.
