Made a bunch a while ago using Jukebox and cleaned it up a bit using some izotope plugins: https://m.soundcloud.com/R05c0

It's really just a matter of time before they figure out how to make the music a bit more "cohesive."

Right now it's kinda like a stream of consciousness, vs. being verse, chorus, verse, chorus.

My prediction: in under 5 years, most of us will have a favorite AI band.

I've been working with OpenAi's jukebox to make vocals / "singer-songwriter" type stuff rather than electronica. Can do a HN writeup on process if there is interest...

Yes, would love a writeup!

Ok, I'll write up a ShowHN and hope it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

In the meantime, would point you to the Jukebox discord server run by Brocaloo as the best all-in resource: https://discord.com/channels/766622617393430559/769885769891...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you think there will be Jukebox2, and similar level of improvement as what we saw with GPT->GPT2->GPT3 progression?

Undoubtedly. It’s just a matter of time. Whether it’ll be OpenAI or someone else is a tossup though. There’s not much commercial incentive to make AI music. So my money is on the hackers. Intellectual curiosity is still one of the most powerful forces of change. The resources are there. You can get a couple hundred TPUs from google for free. So it’s a matter of talent, not permission.

How?

TRC (tpu research cloud). Apply and you’ll almost certainly be accepted. Yes, you.

Hiya! I'm the founder of XJ music. It's taken me seven years to build this thing I dreamed of when I was young, producing electronic music on a pair of MPC-2000s trying to hack them into something more.

XJ is human created content fed into a "player" that fuses the composition process with the storage and distribution. It's an algorithmic medium. The music is never "done" and what you hear in the app is playing live in real time from the software we run in the cloud.

What do you think??

Free on iOS and Android.
