Artifact 102: A Final Tunes (MUSAiC team and AI)
As the MUSAiC project comes to an end after its five years, we have one final assignment: Co-create a tune using any AI system of your choice, e.g., folk-rnn, starting from the same first measure: Adjust your tune however you want. Learn it but do not let others hears. Come and play your tune together with all the others.
Artifact 99: Funk and Data in Deutschland (Udio/Suno + Sturm/Weiß)
This summer I attended the Dagstuhl seminar "Learning with Music Signals: Technology Meets Education". It was a week filled with fascinating presentations, engaging discussions, and a whole lot of other fun. My contribution to the seminar was a stimulus talk on the first day titled, "MIR of the future (will mostly involve AI-generated music)". I presented the arguments and findings of two rejected ISMIR…
Artifact 98: The Neverwhere Waltz (Sturm + folk-rnn (v2) + MUSAiC Team)
This waltz comes from a jig generated by folk-rnn (v2) at some point. I can't find its exact origin, but in the fall of 2021 MUSAiC master's student Marco Amerotti synthesized a performance of it using MUSAiC PhD student's Nicolas Jonason's control-synthesis system (built on DDSP). Here's Marco's rendition: I have only known it as tune no. 33633 on my Desktop, waiting for something to be done with…
Artifact 97: “’round and ’round” (traditional) – six settings – ([Sturm+Udio]+Sturm)
The generative AI music service Udio burst onto the scene a few months ago, and since then I have been exploring it (much in the same way as for my composition "Aus einem Text von Ernst Toch"). I built this composition from several iterations prompting the Udio system with a variety of textual descriptions, plus lyrics (which I wrote while riding my bike to work one day) that go from…

Artifact 96: Aus einem Text von Ernst Toch (Sturm + suno.ai)
The generative music AI service suno.ai has burst onto the scene, and I have been exploring it since October 2023. The primary interface is textual: one specifies using free text a stylistic description (e.g., Christmas), and then provides lyrics or other directions. The system then synthesizes audio files (up to 40 seconds in duration) that can be downloaded and worked with.
“Music of the Crowdworkers” is a growing collection of ethnographic field recordings I fabricate from sound materials solicited through an online crowdworking application (Prolific).&nbs…
