Song Generator

Can we generate music with AI? Taryn Southern, a popular youtuber recently made the first album that was fully produced using AI! In this video, she'll talk about her process and I'll help explain the technical details of how it all works (WaveNet style autoencoder, yay deep learning).

A big thanks to Siraj for putting together this collab, and excited to hear what all of you guys create with AI! --- Taryn

[@dfreeuns]

AI generated comment :D

[@13thxenos]

I haven't watched the whole video, but I think Siraj likes you a lot :D I've never seen him like this :))

[@aadishgoel]

You are the perfect blend of beauty and brains.

[@karthik-ex4dm]

Taryn Southern Never seen such a disciplined, shy and acting weird, acting like he doesn't care siraj.... Look what you've made him do 🎵

[@atomictraveller]

i added another comment about my background in this field, what concerns me about ML music is the lack of extrapolative synthesis i foresee being implemented, as people focus on 'relatable product'.hth :)

[@RameshRamloll]

Thanks for these videos. AI is not my main area of interest, but I regularly watch your clips to get a quick bird's eye view which is essential in my line of work.

[@NerdGeekFutureSpeak]

Thank you both, this was very informative!

[@AmmarRai]

I see that in the anticipation of meeting Taryn, Siraj has been hitting the gym :P

[@SirajRaval]

ive been hitting the gym because its winter and time to bulk haha

[@RameshRamloll]

LOL

[@AlfonGeek]

I really like the new way you are writing text on the screen kind of color-coded, also the subtle bubbly sound effects when a text comes up on the screen.

[@Sukhraj_Sekhon]

This is so inspiring! Definitely going to check this out!

[@DriftyG]

Great video Siraj, and Taryn. You two look good on camera together.

[@abracham3337]

Thank you for such videos! Love from Poland!

[@codersgarage2279]

I wanted this!!!! Thank you Siraj 🤟🏻😎🤟🏻

[@tallwaters9708]

This is great, I'm going to try do this now and present it ASAP in Dublin.

[@albertomartel6508]

Btw awesome video I love it. I was waiting for something like this!

[@solid8403]

Yaaaaaaay. Taryn. Watched many of your vids back in the day.

[@Ludifant]

Again a great video. You rock! Been wanting to start in music with AI, but thought, I'd have to write it myself.. This is amazing. So many programs.. We've had band in a box for a while, but with a neural net will be a LOT more interesting..

[@marciovenanciobatista]

Siraj I think that AI music is the most exciting subject in AI.. There are a lot of ways to research sice genre recog till music generation... Tks for the video.

[@tansvideos7193]

This is beautiful !!

[@otomackena7610]

"i cant even fake it " lol

[@guitarheroprince123]

thats were he broke his acting xD

[@SirajRaval]

haha cats and i don't click

[@otomackena7610]

Siraj Raval Try cryptokitties lol they dont bite,scratch ,no fur,no pur ..

[@jadoo16815125390625]

Great video! Love how you still made the interview educational

[@zanderceo91]

Siraj for the culture. Thanks for fun side project ideas. 100.

[@claxvii177th6]

"I can't even fake it i don't even like cats that much" I used to like you siraj, now i like you even more

[@Skythedragon]

Nice, I've been wanting to do this for some time

[@kamikaze3407]

6:04 siraj starts to talk about AI

[@larryteslaspacexboringlawr739]

thank you for song ai video

[@atomictraveller]

i've made procedural music generators for 25 years. i've always focused on lyrical music :) i'm glad to see people finally interested in this via ML technologies. all i ought to say i guess is, when you get it to start singing, or it starts talking some other way (eg. noise parametrically fit to speech) you all in for one wile ride :) i think my most well known is breathcube, which you can find videos of, its very simple. there's a track on soundcloud from earliest work in '94, 'care for that i should only have your houses' - sounds and sequences determined by program, then hand assembled.. sounds terrible because i had a mirage sampler with phonemes (3 keybanks for one take) and shifted pitch using a pitch shifter, very hard to understand without text..

[@atomictraveller]

(but, for whatever it is worth mentioning, my work in procedural music was for memetic deculturalisation/depatterning.. procedural semantics basically makes you more intelligent but less intelligible to others, which is understandable really)

[@DanFrederiksen]

Cool :)

[@KunwarPratapSingh41951]

Siraj, u look too much disciplined in this video.

[@boreneoman7728]

he definitely dont want to show his gayness in front of girl..

[@KunwarPratapSingh41951]

Tester Mail he is not a gay u lil boy. If u consider his behavior as a sign of gayness then you haven't understood science. Siraj is one of the most inspiring teacher his love for science beams in his eyes.

[@boreneoman7728]

I'm just kidding.. i subscribed him too..

[@karthik-ex4dm]

Dude is pretty shy in front of her

[@creeperlamoureux]

@@boreneoman7728 4:48

[@sandzz]

nice video

[@Electronic424]

The best part about AI generated music is you can get samples that nobody would think of, unlimited samples!

[@saimeher681]

Could you please make a detailed video on machine learning use cases in education

[@Infinit3Enigma]

They went to make "AI music"...indeed they did ;) Okay seriously interesting video! Can you make a deep learning video about its uses in cfd/fem? I am slowly getting interested in deep learning but I just love fluid/thermodynamics since I have a B.Eng in Aerospace.

[@187pjm]

Siraj, talk about how CCNs top the frontier on color correction in image processing

[@guitarheroprince123]

I like this lady. She looks smart.

[@shaofanlai6614]

We recently conducted an experimental project to generate music with extensive kinds of advanced models. Feel welcome to browse our final report at www.deepsymphony.com.

[@edwardhu7883]

great work!

[@zipnone1996]

awesome

[@adityapatil325]

What are your thoughts about turicreate?

[@FacePalmProduxtnsFPP]

5:30 dat carrot tho.

[@davidm.johnston8994]

Great video, keep targeting a smart audience, that's the only way to keep those videos interesting!

[@HCENooBFesT]

AI it's going to change it all

[@illuminated2438]

Goddess.

[@13thxenos]

Yeah, this wavenet is killing me. I have based my thesis on this network and now I'm regretting it. It has so many components!

[@Bhatt_Hole]

Fabulous! Today, through the magic of current technology, no-talents can make bad music which no one cares about, which is even worse than traditional bad music which no one cares about? That's brilliant! That's progress!

[@zapansanraidboss172]

Hi, can someone help me? How can I create train.wav & validate.wav using vlc on windows?

[@solidsnake013579]

there is big carrot and a cute beige cat :3 her house is so comfy and nice

[@leowiniecki9264]

siraj have you tried out core ml?

[@Palatineoffacts]

@8:28 wait, I cant just sit and listen to you talk everyone will think im stupid, give me a few lines!

[@DamianReloaded]

3:17 LMAO XD

[@feastures]

Examples?

[@stefan-ls7yd]

There we have our evidence: the hottest women work with AI

[@SirajRaval]

they do and men

[@amadeuscode_official]

Taryn's album is really exciting! We're building an artificial intelligence powered songwriting assistant for those in need of inspiration for melodies. Asking for signups for early beta testers here 👉 bit.ly/2ysHdCH

[@petros4225]

Έμπαινα

[@shishirmaharaj6585]

I want someone to look at me the way Taryn looks at Siraj and vice versa.

[@SirajRaval]

we've been friends for a while, met at The Next Web conference in Amsterdam, she invited me to this United Nations event in NYC during general assembly. Just friends

[@banjomon72]

AI crush detector needed! If not for yourself Siraj, do it for the other handsome geeks out there

[@rooneymara8061]

Siraj, you're a savage for friendzoning here like that. Damn.

[@praisonjoshua7755]

Siraj has become muscular now

[@lightsclockwork5596]

I ship it.

[@aurider1322]

I thought there would be practicals

[@greenbillugaming2781]

great now we are dumming down music :P

[@matthewdangerfield5812]

Link to "Neural Audio Synthesis" paper Siraj mentioned: arxiv.org/abs/1704.01279

[@navsiv11]

hi i have a question. 1. what is the difference between tflearn and keras (i heard that both are same) 2. what is prettytensor and why/when we have to use that

[@erlendfaxvaag6617]

All these are wrappers makes it easier to build and work with TF. Don't use pretty, its old and abandon. Both TFlearn and keras are good. TFlearn is 'closer' and more similar to TF than Keras, but Keras is more used and it can be easier to find help on forums. I use Keras, lots of good features like multi-gpu and visualization.

[@xXBadxKarmaXx13]

anyone else see the grinder on the desk in the music studio @7:15

[@endod8708]

lol i was looking for this comment

[@SirajRaval]

haha

[@momonga.]

I also made a music generator using RNNs with LSTM units. If anyone wants to check it out lmk

[@vaishnav4750]

Can you paste your Github link?

[@giraudl]

It's just me or this lady really looks like "Sophia" from "Hanson Robotics" ? Quote of the day: "A smart human/woman that looks like an AI."

[@tri-aayam]

What should be the hardware to start with A.I

[@notNavindu]

Vaishnav Sharma a microwave

[@Pheatrix]

Depends on your goal. If you want to do more complex things you should have an Nvidia GPU (most frameworks use Cuda). If you want to learn how machine learning works and start with simple stuff, every CPU is suitable. Even with an RPi you can get started.

[@otomackena7610]

Nvidia GPU for heavy use

[@ZWZDOzLtxBEO]

you can use cloud @ google.com if you don't have right specs

[@fischX]

PC-Gaming desktop hardware with Nvidia card is quite good for beginners, even if it looks unprofessional, good Linux compatibility is a big plus - if you are familiar with cloud services they are maybe a good alternative, but if not you get possibly confused with yet another technology. Usually for the most beginner tutorials you don't have to care about hardware at all focus on you learning progress and don't care about hardware until things getting slow.

[@grumpydusty]

I was about to leave a comment pointing out her small hands, then she mentioned it herself haha.

[@arvin8]

By the way, engineers do no create the interface but designers do. This is like saying sound engineer does the composing. A very common mistake made...

[@Eurley66]

Very interesting. But how can you not like cats?

[@andyroider97]

Because cats eat mice.

[@niyongaboeric]

Hi Siraj thanks for the video, so I have a couples of problem I would like to ask you. I am struggling to learn AI using your KZbin videos as well as working on challenge at the end. but one thing always confuse me, is to know which video to go to since all are different and interesting. as now I am watching Learn Python for Data Science where I am on episode three and planning to enroll your Math of Intelligence Video and I don't know if it is the next step. right now I don't have money to pay at Udacity where you teach deep learning very good so I use your Channel. so I would like to know the best way I can learn efficiently by using your video(with challenge at the end). #is it possible, I give my self 7 month to learn up and down at least to have the knowledge about AI, I have experience in Math, so only the topic I don't understand well is probability. I am third year students.#Tip here in Africa most students, people don't know the power of AI. we need skills to prove them, that's why I choose your channel.Thanks Siraj

[@madhivarman508]

Hey Niyongabo Eric you can learn AI from many source Not only this channel..No doubt this channel is good , but there are other channels that are better in teaching AI and coding stuff . One who want to get really deep into Machine Learning and Deep learning should read blog as many... In AI not only coding matters , there are other parameters that is so helpfull to learn AI and help to understand what is really underneath in AI

[@niyongaboeric]

Thanks Madhi Verman. you are right

[@wol2231]

Watch Andrew Ng course on machine learning on Coursera website.

[@wol2231]

to be honest Siraj's channel isn't good for learning if you're a beginner , Watch the course i recommend after that go through Abu Mostefa videos ( available on KZbin ). In my opinion deep learning book is a great book as it covers basic required for understanding ML and DDNs.

[@xiaohongdeng825]

The lady looked bored when you started talking gradients.

[@NerdGeekFutureSpeak]

"Crunkness" 😂

[@LFish]

"is math related to science?" ... nvm, that was another person in another vid

[@eaglegp2541]

Taryan we are in the same path and edge of NOW and that edge has an amazing view of the possible futures. Need Taryn for a new team into the sea, no, the universe of AI entertainment. please check your email from your web site, and IN invite

[@spiral9316]

waww she is so cute!!

[@commentah222]

He is vertasium from AI world

[@I77AGIC]

interesting info! and she is beautiful and works with AI. wife material!

[@aaizner847]

I know I'm going to get a bunch of hate for this, but... As a musician, this just breaks my heart. Nobody is willing to learn to do anything challenging anymore, and now we're taking art away from ourselves, because it's easier to have a program (which someone else created) "mimic" music (which someone else created). The techie part of me thinks it's really cool that AI can create art, but the more philosophical approach suggests that nobody would actually want to live in a world all the things which separated us from the animals in the first place, are done for us by AI.

[@tmstani23]

Yea, we better embrace our robot overlords. Soon there won't even be human artists they will be entirely ai. Same with everything else. Then we will all feel even more redundant than we already do.

[@LordSantiagor]

I think composition will look different in a few decades, but won't end. Some people thought photographs meant the end of painting.

[@aaizner847]

I'm not completely sure what you mean by "different", but I wasn't talking about just composition. We know what happens when people who don't play instruments compose music - it's called EDM, and in terms of composition, it's very primitive. What I'm saying specifically is - With current tech, it's too easy to sit in your bedroom and "make beats". Why spend the 10,000 hours and get good at playing an actual physical instrument? What I'm saying more generally is - seems like people don't want to do anything challenging anymore, unless there's instant gratification. Aside from just being an embarrassing trait, it's also likely the very door that AI will eventually roll through.

[@LordSantiagor]

You are right, more and more crafts will become optional if we develop strong AI. Just like exercise used to be integrated into our lifes when humans lived in the wilderness, and now exercise is optional (and a health risk if you don't do it), the same will probably happen with "mental exercise". People who don't put careful dedication into training their minds may find themselves unhealthy mentally. It is worrying.

[@SirajRaval]

lets merge with it and become gods

[@Dodecadaemon]

Came here expecting some creepy comments, disappointed I was right

[@SourceOfViews]

Why are there so many comments about Taryn being Siraj's girlfriend? I mean he is already taken. (He has that whole trust-video ^^) Well I guess it is better then the "She's so hot, I would do with her" comments that you get on some other videos.

[@foofuture8148]

Siraj looks bit nervous and uncomfortable lol

[@chaitanyabankanhal1487]

Where are the memes???

[@N00byEdge]

Hey you're supposed to laugh or at least giggle at her jokes dawg ;)

[@xPROxSNIPExMW2xPOWER]

did she just say "you need to be familiar with knowing how to code in Terminal to make Machine Learning models" hahahah what

[@SirajRaval]

hahaha

[@onewhoraisesvoice]

Hey Siraj, I see you have found new girlfriend!

[@SirajRaval]

shes not my gf, just friend

Siraj Raval teyaena is, right?

[@shreyasingh1212]

Siraj Raval Lol Siraj chill

[@alkodjdjd]

cute chick

[@AdhikJoshi]

In front of girl siraj today became less naughty then other videos.

[@boreneoman7728]

I skip the video just to find the song you created.. it's make me sad.

[@BitcoinmeetupsOrg123]

Well the lady was kind of pointless but nice to hear Siraj speak as always.

[@jtconner7599]

we don't need no education

[@wolfisraging]

Hey siraj, Ur cheeks look red

[@davidsuggitt]

Doesn't like cats? 😢 Almost unsubscribes 😃

[@starinsky2873]

I am sure siraj will start not commenting other‘s comment if he becomes better and better sure!👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

[@SirajRaval]

lol what?

[@starinsky2873]

Siraj Raval Omg you still comment 😲 I AM SHOCKED!

[@feastures]

All I've heard so far sounds really bad.

[@hungcarl]

was she high?

[@___xyz___]

So basically for uncreative or lazy people?

[@oi_faen]

unsub.. i give up.
