INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
A fascinating project called Amadeus Code promises to out-Tay-Tay Tay Tay and out-Bon Bon Iver
The AI-based system uses data from previous musical hits to create entirely new compositions on the fly — and darn if these crazy
robot-songs aren&t pretty good.The app, which is available from the iTunes Store but doesn&t seem to be working properly, creates song
sketches in minutes, freeing you up to create beautiful lyrics and a bit of accordion accompaniment.The video above is a MIDI version of an
AI-produced song and the video below shows the song full-produced using non-AI human musicians
The results, while a little odd, are very impressive.Jun Inoue, Gyo Kitagawa and Taishi Fukuyama created Amadeus Code and all have
experience in music and music production
Inoue is a renowned Japanese music producer and he has sold 10 million singles
Fukuyama worked at Echo Next and launched the first Music Hack Day in Tokyo
Fukuyama is the director of the Hit Song Research Lab and went to Berklee College of Music.&We have analyzed decades of contemporary songs
and classical music, songs of economic and/or social impact, and have created a proprietary songwriting technology that is specialized to
create top line melodies of songs
We have recently released Harmony Library, which gives users direct access to the songs that power the songwriting AI for Amadeus Code,&
&We uniquely specialize in creating top line melodies for songs that can be a source of high-quality inspiration for music professionals
We also do have plans that may overlap with other music AI companies in the market today in terms of offering hobbyists a service to quickly
create completed audio tracks.&When asked if AI will ever replace his favorite musicians, folks like Michael and Janet Jackson or George
Gershwin, Inoue laughed.&Absolutely not
This AI will not tell you about its struggles and illuminate your inner worlds through real human storytelling, which is ultimately what
makes music so intimate and compelling
Similarly to how the sampler, drum machine, multitrack recorder and many other creative technologies have done in the past, we see AI to be
a creative tool for artists to push the boundaries of popular music
When these AI tools eventually find their place in the right creative hands, it will have the potential to create a new entire economy of
