Google makes its text-to-music AI public

 Google makes its text-to-music AI public

 

"Google today released MusicLM, a new experimental AI tool that can turn text descriptions into music. Available in the AI Test Kitchen app on the web, Android or iOS, MusicLM lets users type in a prompt like “soulful jazz for a dinner party” or “create an industrial techno sound that is hypnotic” and have the tool create several versions of the song.

 

Users can specify instruments like “electronic” or “classical,” as well as the “vibe, mood, or emotion” they’re aiming for, as they refine their MusicLM-generated creations."

 

I am on the waitlist for the AI Test Kitchen so I haven't played with MusicLM yet.

 

It's coming for us all.

How about this... 

 

"Soulful pop music with a beautiful mesmerizing keyboard solo that sound greats in people's cars, phones, clubs and stadiums. The song has catchy, hypnotic lyrics that will convince millions of people to abandon Google and put them out of business."

Please generate a catchy pop song in the genre of dance-pop, incorporating elements of synth-pop and blue-eyed soul.  It needs a distinctive drum beat that sets an energetic tone of the song. It should have at its basis components of synthesizers and strings to create a sense of anticipation that would meld with smooth and soulful vocals.

 

It should also be complemented by rhythmic guitar and occasional brass accents, adding depth and texture to the overall sound. Include some bright and shimmering arpeggios, pulsating chords, and melodic riffs making sure these electronic elements give the song a distinct '80s vibe.

Ok if you include "...using exclusively analog Oberheim synthesizers with a sexy music video which stands the test of time."?

I’m going to throw my wooden clog into that dark satanic executable and stop this insanity!

I tried it. If the sax player practiced a little more his improv would be pretty good - a little spastic at times.

I made a funky prompt and it fooled one of my friends.

Ugh...  sounds like a fail to me.  Live human music makers, you're OK for now hahaha.  Note - music only, no lyrics/vocals.  I'm surprised the aforementioned instruction went through, but maybe I will now be targeted for extinction?

added your Oberheim instruction - doesn't sound any different to me - - they all sound the same, kind of a distant bland nothingburger

[TommyRude]

Here's another, with the following instruction...   "Light happy synth music". 

 

I guess it sounds light and synthy, but clearly AI does not know what happy is.  This sounds confused and scattered and, it's mostly minor keys!  I recall prior discussions about happy music v. sad music.  Sometimes sad music can sound happy and vv, but pretty sure Google Music AI has not figured that out.  Tell a robot to be happy and what does he do?  Starts randomly jumping around with angry crossed eyes.  

[ksoper]

Playing with it now.  So far, absolute garbage.

I actually tried my description using my own GAN  (Generational Adversarial Network) Model.    I was totally knocked out as it came out nearly exactly as I would have envisioned :).

For some reason, my immediate reaction is to think of the humorous possibilities.  Like create a tune that combines Ornette Coleman with the Bee Gees.  

 

I'll probably experience horror later.

I knew this was a Rick Roll and pressed it anyway for the punchline.  Sometimes you have to play the straight man.

Please create a crappy song that everyone loves and pays for, and ergo that pays me enough money so i can live comfortably in a villa on the coast in Portugal, making real music for my own enjoyment, whilst eating fine tapas, drinking finer wine, and enjoying the finest of women's companionship...
