The concept of machine-composed music has been around since the 1800s, but nowadays, it has become possible. Thanks to Artificial Intelligence, musicians can compose entirely new albums or feed the works of famous musicians to create "new" music. By “feeding” the compositions of famous artists like Beethoven, AI can learn and create “new” music from previous work. The creation of endless possibilities is why artificial intelligence has significantly impacted the music industry. From generating music to streaming, there are many ways AI is used. Musicians can use these AI-powered tools for music mastering, creating new sounds, or even predicting the next big hit! There are many different views regarding AI and the arts. Some believe that AI will enhance creativity for artists while some believe it will be the end of human art. There are also many questions surrounding this new technology. When will it become mainstream? Are the environmental impacts worth it? Will the usage of AI crush human creativity? These questions remain unanswered for now. However, even though much is still unknown, musicians are eager to try and play around with this concept.
Let's look at some of the tracks created using AI!
