This AI music generator that uses the MusicGen language model. You use the buttons on the right to select a mood, genre, sounds and bpm. The virtual turntable on the left allows you to slow down, zoom in, scratch and listen between the notes. Created by Arvind Sanjeev.

This is exactely how I imagined as a little girl how people would listen music in the future. Something that will generate music on its own, so commercial pop producers won’t need to recycle always the same manually.
Except, my vision looked just like a box and not like an ancient device (it looks awesome though).
This the end of the road for synth lead players, drum-machine masters, breakbeat flippers and vocoder sopranos. AI will take away all these creative jobs. (S)
As an out of work drum-machine-master, I can confirm that this is now the reality. My phone used to be ringing off the hook, and my Linkedin inbox was always full. Now I’m just happy to hear from Prince cover bands trying to program their LinnDrum samples. I have been trying to switch careers to be a vocoder soprano, but apparently that market is oversaturated…by real robots. It’s kind of like the perfect gig for a robot. Anyways, I didn’t really want to go back to being a breakbeat flipper, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
@Orwell…come on George…don’t go all 1984 on us again (joking, had to, sorry about that one).
This kind of art - a prompt instrument - is just the materialization of any text-prompt based AI models. Currently, I’m beta testing two products that aim at doing just that : delivering full usable tracks for content creators.
And as were DAWs some time ago and computers before that, I like to think of it as the end-start points of new eras. We gain something else that we lost at the same time.
Anyways. Back to the machine itself.
I’m thinking this is a one-shot, but with and updatable model, could be easily mass produced to some extent.
Really cool.
Pair that with Love Hultén’s creations, and the creative world still has surprises for us!
Ha I get it. I was being sarcastic before someone posts and complains about ai.
Hence the (s).
Anyway, ai’ large language models…. largely stems from early and primitive computer experiments with corpus analysis…, which is part of the field I work in - language analysis and language acquisition.
Gotta say, this one took me by surprise. Not by any long shot have I seen this one coming !
And it looks dope.
And that’s the thing with AI nowadays. It opens a lot of doors - some of which were already wide open, granted.
There’s the ethical debate, for sure.
But this kind of quirky, weird, surprising devices might just make the whole thing more interesting.
Dystopian, for sure. The whole « mood » thing is dystopic af.
But if this was to be mass produced with an updatable AI model, it would sell like crazy.
Can’t wait to see what’s next. Can’t wait to see where this one goes.
Exciting times.
