Beef has always been part of music culture, and AI music is no different :)

AI Music is Generative and Uncanny In this interview we discuss how AI misfires could shape AI music.

Most artists already know how to make musicโ€”they're not looking for AI to do it for them.

AI as an Artistic Medium Generative AI not as a tool, but as an artistic medium.

Whatโ€™s an artistic medium?
Itโ€™s the thing artists use to make art.

Like canvas for painters.
Clay for sculptors.
Video for directors.
Or recordings for musicians.

This post explores how to use generative AI as an artistic medium:

AI Makes Dinner On farming, cooking robots, reducing waste and more.

Iโ€™ve been studying AI and gastronomyโ€”sharing my learnings here: artintech.substack.com/p/ai-makes-d...

Delicioso Algoritmo (Delicious Algorithm) by Eneko Axpe gives a nice overview of the field.

Know any other books, papers or blogposts?
I'm having trouble finding beginner-friendly resources.

And it feels overwhelming when you are a beginner.

Following this checklist helped me.

With this list you donโ€™t need to remember everything. Just need to do whatโ€™s next.

Algorithmic Music OGs How serialism, quantum music, indeterminacy, and Duchamp are all related.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the pioneers (OGs) of neural networks for music.

But many of you rightly pointed out that I missed some key names :)

Today I installed the ChatGPT app for my mum.

She used it to make jokes about my dad.

I'm not sure she is more productive now.

Making AI music without knowing Xenakis' work is like playing jazz without having heard Coltrane.

In the language of their time, 'indeterminacy' is akin to what we now call 'generative'โ€”where some aspects of the composition are left to chance (not determined).

I'm experiencing a dรฉjร  vu with FAD metrics.

Five years ago, we were all complaining that SDR metrics were useless for source separationโ€”yet here we are, still using them.

What is the mindset of an AI artist?

Thinking of art more as 'seeds' than 'artifacts' โ€” and AI not as a 'tool', but as a 'mirror'.

And also to be aware that the line between audience and author blurs.
