@@CSRgamer I think the algorithm didn't do much, it probably just generated a set of notes as the article in the video said, then the compositor just started his work from there.

I wonder what an AI would do if it composed a symphony, used a survey to analyze whether it counted as a "good" piece, and got a 50/50 like/dislike response. Would it conclude that, based on the nature of statistics and the subjectivity of art, that this was technically the most ideal piece it could make?

[@GabrieleNunnari]

@@johannsebastienbach Is it really? Because music is at the end of the day and endless repetition of the same patterns. Now days coming up with a new melody that also sounds good is rather difficult. And what your brain process as "creative" in music is exactly those patterns (that why they are used constantly). I have to find a composer that do not inspire himself to other previous composers, and inspiration is the pure definition of what the IA does, look at patterns and try to replicate them. The actual weakness of the AI is that it cannot define what it sounds good. You have either to train it by telling it "this is beautiful learn this" or by giving it a set of parameters to look at and saying "this are the parameter for the perfect composition". In any case, we have the entire western culture complaining about how role modeling works around everything. We claim that the concept of beauty is defined by the TV and News papers, meaning that as human we choose to consider what looks "good" by looking at what other people tell us to consider good. So can you please state where is the difference between AI learning from humans and humans learning from humans?

An AI scientist here. I haven't read the article that you were talking about in the beginning, but yes, as it said, the AI (or rather, "Machine Learning") algorithms can process the available data, find patterns in it, and then use that to either predict what comes next, or perform a prognosis of what new data might look like, or somehow classify the new data samples. So, as an extremely simplified example, if you give it a sequence "1, 2, 3, 4, 5...", then it will learn the pattern that there's a sequence of numbers, and each new number is bigger than the previous by 1, and then will give a prediction: "...6, 7, 8, 9, etc". And if you give it something like "1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, ...", then it might learn that it's again, a sequence of numbers, next one is always bigger by an increasing number, and it will continue the sequence with "...28, 36, 45, etc." The sequences and the patterns in them can be much more complex, of course. Incidentally, more sophisticated Machine Learning algorithms can do this with things like stock market prices, climate/temperature data, strings of text (maybe you've heard of AI algorithms "writing" books, movie scripts or fanfics?), images (e.g.., generating human faces or entire photographs, see www.thispersondoesnotexist.com, or, given a picture of a dog, say that "it's probably a dog"), and yes, with music data. Because sheet music can be easily encoded with a sequence of numbers or symbols, and then the algorithms can analyse it and give predictions. My guess, again, without reading the article, is that the algorithm only generated the base of the musical piece, and then this guy just tweaked it, cleaned it, smoothed it out and fancied it up a bit, to sound prettier and more human-like. And yes, it can't quite get the "human element". The inspiration, the "soul", so to speak. So if you give the algorithm a sequence like "1, 2, 3, 69, 420...", the algorithm will just go "u wot mate?". You should've posted the link in the description to the original article. EDIT: yeah, I removed the bit about the degree. That wasn't a good place to mention it, I agree. I don't know why that rhymed.

As an AI practitioner, I can try to explain what happened. The most likely algorithms that generate the piece is called LSTM (Long-short Term Memory), or it also could be Attention Model. Both algorithms learn the pattern based on all the "training data" that they are provided, namely all Schubert symphonies, or could be all symphonies that are ever written in the similar period. The learned algorithm will try to predict the "future data", based on the "input data", which is Mov 1st and 2nd, and predict the next note, and next note, all the way to the end when it predicts the "end note". Here are some explanations to your questions: 1. How does it remember the proper sequence of instruments coming in? Because it learns the PATTERN of all symphonies, and according to some rules of symphony composing (or "code" as you guys mentioned in the video), they all happen in certain order. Once AI decides the proper timestamp that each instrument comes in, it will predict the starting notes and rhyme for each instrument, and lay them on top of each other, one by one. 2. Why is it repetitive? This also happens to AI speech generation, which uses very similar technique with AI music composition. The model is predicting the "next note" in sequential order. For example, when the current predicted note is C, the next most likely note will be predicted at G. Then after several rounds of iteration, when some future note is predicted at C again, the one after future C will be predicted at G again. In other words, if the music never ends, you will see endless rounds of same passages occurring, just like seeing repeating decimals 2.123412341234...... 3. Why does it sound more like Tchaikovsky in certain parts? Easy to think about, that AI tries to learn the pattern based on all "training data", and the algorithm developer must have provided Tchaikovsky's pieces as part of training data. Throughout the AI music generation process, AI is trying to predict the next passages by giving a mixture of all composers that it learns from, such as 40% Tchaikovsky + 50% Schubert + 5% Dvorak + 5% Beethoven. 4. Why does 3rd movement sound like 1st movement? Because it learns the pattern of all musics. Not sure if it's true in Symphonies, I would say it's very likely the case in piano concertos, that 3rd movement paraphrases the 1st movement quite often, such as Rachmaninoff piano concerto 2 & 3.

[@trinanjansaha756]

@Tianqi Yang This is by far a very good explanation from a technical perspective. I was hoping someone would explain the things here. As a part of AI community, I would want to shed some light on this too. To those who don't follow AI actively and to those who are afraid of this. Here are some facts? Take it with a pinch of salt because these are something the community is saying(not my personal opinion) 1. AI -- > AI is, essentially to date, a pattern-matching machine. It is very good at finding a very very complex pattern and has already defeated humans on this topic. But it is a machine/algorithm at the end of the day. AI works primarily from memory(which it has already learned) 2. AGI --> AGI is supposed to be a system that has the human-level intelligence. Intelligence is not defined yet. AI model was inspired by human brain neurons but doesn't mean it is fully mimicking the human brain. There are lots of things besides a neuron that controls the human system(cell for an example). 3. If somebody says AGI is already there they are lying (some business strategy). Nevertheless, AGI will come in the long run maybe. 4. somebody could argue saying that historically any new invention creates new jobs and kills the older ones (Telephone invention killed a lot of jobs but created a lot of jobs too) 5. Here is a good argument, In a world where if AI automates all the boring jobs then people will have time to do creative thinking. My understanding is at least in my life the skills like ART will have much more value than the ones which can be automated. Nobody cares(at least from the point of music intellectuality) about AI generating art(a lot of deep learning models can easily generate paintings). Also, people wouldn't mind if bots like google duplex automate a lot of call center jobs.

They trained it by omitting certain notes from original compositions and created a rating system for the AI rewarding solutions that closely resemble the original compositions. Through the accumulation process they gradually increased the amount of missing notes. Harmonization was the goal but with a few more rules and exceptions added they made it compose entire symphonies from scratch. Even the data evaluation process for rating predictions can be automated because google, through 'google music' and 'youtube music' is able to create popularity charts based on airtime numbers, gender, country, special interest, etc....

For anyone who has an issue with "Even the most beautiful music is, ultimately, just code" please remember that you likely listen to all your music using a computer. Which receives information in the form of light, translates it to ones and zeros, and uses those ones and zeros to move the membrane in the speaker of your computer/phone/headphones. It's all just code. However, a rose by any other name is just as beautiful. Reducing music to code doesn't remove the beauty, because the beauty is within you, the one subjected to the code. That said, music is a language of emotion. A piece composed and played by humans has a hard to define emotional weight. I personally think that you can remove the ape from the music machine, especially for pop and film music. But people still crave the human touch. The emotional and thematic context matters. If you're a classical performer, your job will likely be safe.

[@samuelallan7452]

That isn't necessarily the case. One could argue that the music is not the substance itself of interest but merely a "pointer" (like a C pointer) to the "substance" located in another domain (as well as many other non-materialist explanations).

I was just waiting for you to say it sounds like film music. :D When I heard the first tone of that AI music, all I thought was "it sounds way more modern than your standard classical piece, and definitely more modern than the passages from Schubert's symphony that you showed us". You gave it a name. It is repetitive... I'd also say there's this air of... sterile cleanliness, if you know what I mean? It sort of lacks the depth and dynamics that I would expect from a classical piece. Mind you, I am by far no expert, but it just sounds like the modern style that has lost some of the classical flamboyance (is that the right word? I dunno...). And it feels like the tempo doesn't change at all (that's probably what you meant by abrupt). So in my opinion, AI still has a long way to go. Thank god, your jobs are saved. :) Interesting part about music being just a code - well, in essence, everything is just code. A bunch of ones and zeroes if you strip it down to the basics, because if you get down to it, our thoughts and biological processes are just a bunch of electrical impulses.

This shit right here. Most tech-journalism around AI can be super fallacious, thanks in part to the programmers trying to drum up interest. You need to check how much the AI "wrote a symphony" and how much "a human picked what the AI was to focus on and replicate". Even in the case of a 'true AI' what suggestions it will form are based on a system designed by a human, so it's always tricky to say the AI did anything on its own. Counter-point though, a lot of people in art would argue you could say the same about human composers/artists/writers. The conventions of different genres and mediums are learned and developed from past humans' techniques and teachings, so one could say we're all "programmed" to perceive specific forms of arts in specific ways. Value judgements about an AI's ability to be creative is thus a bit confusing.

In the case of Schubert, there are not enough datas : the AI can only see little patterns, but not a whole pattern we could find in all Schubert's symphonies.

Even I, an amateur musician, thought the third movement was very much like the first, and essentially a slightly changed copy. A human composer wouldn't do that. There's a story to tell in the music. You might have some phrase repeating or evocative of the earlier movements, but there'd be surprising differences as the story progresses.

I work as an AI scientist and have a PhD in music theory (specializing in machine learning/AI for music analysis). While I haven't seen the code to this particular example, so many of these hyped "AI composers" are really fake clickbait to get attention for a company (Huawei in this case). My guess is that they had a computer go over the MIDI or xml file of Schubert's symphony and perhaps other similar works. You then train a model to give a probabilistic output of what came next. Example: given the notes G, Bb, A, Schubert would then go to G 40% of the time, D 20% of the time, Bb again 5%, etc. I made those probabilities up, but that's the basic idea. Same with rhythm. You can do this with simple Markov chain probabilities or something more complex like an LSTM or Transformer model. But the end result is that you can produce rhythms and melodies that have a similar probability as Schubert and any other music the model was trained on. But you typically have to get the melodies started (seeding) and end them also. However, current AI has a hard time making motifs, large-scale cohesion, and form. I suspect that this "AI" made a few melodic fragments, and the composer: finished the melodies, arranged the form, made harmonies, dynamics, orchestration, developed motifs, etc. Also, humans performed, recorded, mastered, and produced the music. There are of course very interesting and groundbreaking developments in music AI, such as the Magenta project where their Transformer model approach is starting to show signs of learning motifs and phrase structure. Sure, perhaps in 10 years a lot of commercial music might be made with AI, but we as humans get to choose whether we want our music (not the background muzak that is made to sell you stuff) to be a pure human-to-human pursuit, sit back and let computers make all our music, or integrate AI into our musical world as we see fit much as we have for other technologies. I think music will always be a human-first expression simply because now we will pay lots of money to see people perform music when we could have saved the money and had our computers play a recording of that same music.

I heard that, too! Was that really AI-generated? It had an echo sound as well, as if someone had coughed in an auditorium...

[@IIAndersII]

Maybe the AI only wrote the notes, and actual people were still playing the piece

[@merciefrink1299]

I’m pretty sure it was only written by AI it was performed by real people

[@digimitesh2246]

No, but it would be funny if you knew that the AI might've thought that coughs were an "essential" part of the movement. The generated movement weren't probably a sequence of sheet music but rather an actual audio sequence.

[@digimitesh2246]

I wouldn't be surprised if it puts many coughs during the "performance"

[@haelscheirs_haven]

That tragic and soaring climax after the buildup at 8:00 , literally right when Brett said, "Fly!" was really quite spectacular and unexpected. I wonder if anyone can recognize a similar passage from other classical works. This has actually inspired me to begin a listen through of Schubert's and Beethoven's complete symphonies and more, outside of my Romantic piano comfort zone.

[@Casur1N]

The ones that come to my mind are Sibelius concertos, it sounds like late romantic/contemporaneous

[@imjustheretocommentate]

I got so many chills with that

[@happyfox711]

As people pointed out already, some composer called Lucas Cantor, wrote this. It's like Mozart said I composed this from a melody inspired by my cat. Oh a cat made a symphony !

[@drumsofberk]

The AI started out like Schubert but then was like, "Here is my chance to create my own music."

In like 10 years, they might. But even 10 years isn't accurate enough. A.I. is still at its toddler age. It will take a lot of time before it stands.

[@Romy---]

He never promised to play it but if he does, the earliest he would do it is for the 3M subscribers, which they didn't reach yet.

[@johannah4770]

I thought it was going to be the unpublished Sibelius symphony.

[@hueguy]

Yep with his multicore processors, he can practice multiple sections at the same time.

[@Jeffery99]

The AI is Ling ling's student

Distributed computing y'all

[@lattetown]

I agree you guys! There are moments that are beautiful and others that sound like a repetitive film score. In the end, what AI technology can do these days is impressive and better than I expected-even if if's not quite what Schubert would have done. I'm curious, was this played by a live orchestra os a sampled one?

watching this made me realize... it would totally be amazing to have a twoset podcast where they just discus and dissect classical music and maybe even have classical music friends / experts on the show

[@gauripande9273]

The Nokia ringtone came from a classical guitar piece tho

[@kazuhalovers]

I think it's spelled like "Schu schu" since the AI are trying to finish Schubert's unfinished symphony.

Sounds like a mix of Beethoven and John Williams. Makes me wonder how some movie composers are composing their current pieces. That said can’t compare this to Schubert’s #2 Trio in E flat op 100 used in Barry Lyndon. Kubrick hit that one out of the ballpark. I’m a big fan of baroque composers - like Rameau, Bach, Vivaldi and Bach, Purcell & some Mozart - right now. I ‘ve always loved playing Mozart but right now Rameau has moved up in my esteem. Their compositions were brilliant and modern performance groups have done a deep dive to distinguish them from classical period compositions. If I were starting out in my life I would love to be part of this Baroque music renaissance. That said, I am now playing them on my old Mason & Hamlin and bought a small keyboard to get a bit of the harpsichord or early iterations of them. I now have limited space putting more of these in my small NYC apartment. During the pandemic shutdown here playing and listening to these brilliant performances kept me from getting too depressed. I also have 2 toddler granddaughters that already have a collection of toddler performance books sent by their grandmother in Italy. Each page of the books plays part of a piece or a recorded section from Italian opera or pieces from Vivaldi and others. . We’ve been unable to find them in English which is too bad. Right now we need great music more than ever. Perhaps we should send a compilation to another planet for safe keeping in case we wipe ourselves out with our stupidity.

It's only an imitation of Schubert's 8th symphony, but without the elements making sense together.
