https://www.auralfractals.net"Aural is a fractal music generator that creates endless musical themes from Chaos. You can generate an infinite amount of fractal compositions in Aural and export them as MIDI files, so you can use them in your favorite music composer software."Not exactly AI, but advanced mathematical generators. We all know the spiffy graphic art you can get from fractals, this does something like that with music. Here's a piece I generated using the "Cellular Automata" preset, whatever that means and whatever exactly it did. I asked for 10 minutes of raw MIDI material then cooked it all up in Logic. I find the melodies and harmonies I was given eerily beautiful, and I'm happy with the way I rendered them. https://soundcloud.com/mark_hayes/cellular-automataIt is exactly 10 minutes long and the listener might be forgiven for not staying for the whole thing, though there are some surprises that reward patience (storm of glass marbles!) and it wouldn't be the worst way you could spend the time.

I listened and liked what I heard. My eyes are being opened to this AI generated music world which seems to be exploding around us. Not sure what to make of it all... Is this a good thing or is this not?

That was really good!
Change that lead piano to a soft eerie sounding synth and you will have a perfect space the final frontier genre song.
Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

I listened and liked what I heard. My eyes are being opened to this AI generated music world which seems to be exploding around us. Not sure what to make of it all... Is this a good thing or is this not? Thanks for listening. I’m super fond of that weird little thing. The alarm about DALL-E in the visual art world makes me think about what it must have been like when photography was new and feared to be bad; it was the death of painting, if not art itself. But here we are and art seems to have survived, and “painting” is more popular than ever in the form of digital art. I am having a lot of fun with AI and doing cool things with it so I say it’s a good thing. I understand the concerns, but in the words of the Firesign Theater, “live it, or live with it“; AI is here to stay. Let’s try to be good humans doing good things with this technology we have created and we should be OK. Personally, my biggest concern is I don’t want to become annoying by quoting ChatGPT too much (and it’s tempting to quote it all the time!)

I imagine that this sort of music could find itself being used as underscore in low budget movies. Very useful for film makers on a very tight budget, assuming it can be used without infringing some sort of copyright from the software creators.

I think that this sort of music will be used to help compose songs. One could take a section or two of what "Chaos" gives you and mold it into a song. I feel the same about AI lyrics. Both could help breaking through a mental block. YMMC

And in the end, after creating/generating some AI-assisted material, you might wind up discarding much or even all of the AI words & music on which you spun up your own, at that point having created a 100% unambiguously original human work. You can throw the ladder away after you’ve climbed up it (Wittgenstein).
