Artificial Intelligence Revolutionizes the Music World: The Case of "Neural Notes Revolution"

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming our world, permeating sectors from healthcare to industry, education to transportation. This technology, which aims to replicate and surpass human cognitive abilities, promises to revolutionize the way we live and work.

The applications of AI are numerous and ever-expanding: from medical diagnosis to autonomous driving, data analysis to content creation. A particularly intriguing field is music, where AI is demonstrating remarkable potential.

Recently, there has been much discussion about AI-based music generation platforms like "Suno" and "Udio," accused of violating numerous artists' copyrights to train their algorithms. These controversies highlight the complex ethical and legal issues that AI raises in the artistic field.

In this context, the Italian project "Neural Notes Revolution" emerges, demonstrating how, with the aid of AI programs, the study of algorithms suitable for targeted generation of musical styles, voices, song structures, and with adequate post-processing, it's possible to produce musical pieces of any genre and style, in any language, in relatively short timeframes.

The project also leverages other generative AI platforms such as OpenAI's ChatGPT (Microsoft group, of which Elon Musk was a co-founder), Anthropic's Claude AI, and Google's Gemini. These technologies allow for the generation of texts, both original and based on precise or imaginative prompts, in numerous languages, even using expressions typical of specific localities and dialects.

However, "Neural Notes Revolution" still faces some challenges. The results provided by ChatBOTs require careful verification, and in the music field, generation platforms have significant limitations. In particular, "Suno" and "Udio" lack a precise and rigorous syntax that allows for accurate results. Often, the outcomes are even opposite to those desired, forcing a trial-and-error approach. One of the major limitations is the near-total impossibility of having clear style changes within the same song.

Expected future developments include the ability to modify produced songs in a targeted manner. It would be useful to have separate files for the vocal part, the musical backing, and the lyrics in subtitle format. Moreover, there's hope to be able to modify individual parts of text or music, and above all, to have a correct and rigorously respected syntax for the song structure and use of styles.

The use of these platforms raises several issues. On one hand, they offer new creative possibilities and democratize music production. On the other, they raise concerns about copyright, artistic authenticity, and the future of work in the music industry.

In conclusion, while giving space to creativity, we are still far from competing with the styles, voices, and tones of artists of all time. However, in defense of the "new artists" of the AI era, it must be recognized that creativity and skill are still necessary to produce musical pieces of a certain depth. This is particularly relevant in a modern musical landscape that often offers music devoid of artistic and cultural significance. AI in music thus represents both a challenge and an opportunity, requiring a balance between technological innovation and preservation of human artistic expression.

AI in Music Education: Revolutionizing Learning for Musicians

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in music education has ushered in a new era of personalized and accessible learning. From beginner musicians to seasoned professionals, AI is reshaping the way people learn, practice, and create music. This article delves into how AI-powered tools and platforms are transforming music education and the broader implications for the future of the music industry.

AI-Powered Tools for Music Learning

One of the most notable advancements in music education is the emergence of AI-driven applications designed to teach various aspects of music. Tools like Yousician, Simply Piano, and Melodics are leading examples that cater to learners of all skill levels.

Yousician: This app uses AI to provide real-time feedback on pitch, rhythm, and timing as users play their instruments. Whether learning guitar, piano, or vocals, students can see instant analysis of their performance, allowing for more targeted practice sessions.

Listen after Chappell Roan literally promoting AI “art” I’m just gonna say this; Chappell Roan fans have always given me queer Swifties vibes I mean think about it their parasocial as hell I mean if you do a comparison you’ll find no difference between the two. The difference is one are just a bunch of straight cis white pick me women who still cry about their breakup from middle school the other are those lesbians/queer pick mes who get mad when anyone who isn’t what they consider queer enough doesn’t like them and won’t date them and they cry wondering why in the hell they don’t want to date them

I remember I got attacked and sent death threats for calling her an industry plant when my god that’s what she literally is. She’s literally the definition of one

She’s not “revolutionary” or “radical” she’s just another industry plant with too much money, no creativity whatsoever besides ripping off glam rock, Lady Gaga and Madonna and her songs are straight ass and wouldn’t even be popular had it not been for some insufferable pick me queers using it to prove their “different” but doesn’t want to support the visual artists who helped her get to where she was

Yes ok she “worked so hard” as some of you fans claim but let me ask you just this once;

If she worked so hard and recognizes hardwork for artists then why does she have to use the easy way out instead of encouraging artists to work on their art?

Can you tell me that?

Also just fyi to make you Chappell fans mad

Good Luck Babe and You Belong to Me are the same pick mes anthems in different fonts

And yes her stans are gonna be blocked their so stupid they need to defend a millionaire anyways so it’s not worth arguing with them

Fables & Fairytales - Deniz Kurtel Remix by N/a, Rosina 🎧

[mudwerks]

(via Music industry giants allege mass copyright violation by AI firms | Ars Technica)

Universal Music Group, Sony Music, and Warner Records have sued AI music-synthesis companies Udio and Suno for allegedly committing mass copyright infringement by using recordings owned by the labels to train music-generating AI models, reports Reuters. Udio and Suno can generate novel song recordings based on text-based descriptions of music (i.e., "a dubstep song about Linus Torvalds").

The lawsuits, filed in federal courts in New York and Massachusetts, claim that the AI companies' use of copyrighted material to train their systems could lead to AI-generated music that directly competes with and potentially devalues the work of human artists.

Like other generative AI models, both Udio and Suno (which we covered separately in April) rely on a broad selection of existing human-created artworks that teach a neural network the relationship between words in a written prompt and styles of music. The record labels correctly note that these companies have been deliberately vague about the sources of their training data.

Too many songs about love, not enough about the march of industry rolling into transhumanism.

Bang Hiss Roll was my attempt at creating a sort of "Industrial (Film) Techno" inspired by the kinds of "industry on the move" shorts. Later, an 80s remix happened, because no matter what tool I use, I'm still me.

The Year? 1943.

The Place? The U.S. of A.

The nation's boogie-woogie darlings, the Ablumen Sisters, release their first song under Danow Music, the novelty classic Pop-Pop-Bagok! (the Chicken Gun).

Fun Fact: While it may be very subtle to modern ears, Pop-Pop-Bagok! was, in fact, a product jingle. Nowadays the industrial giants just send Imagine Dragons' licensing department a check, but back then if you wanted to sell Joe Q. Public and all the ships at sea on your latest gadget, you paid someone to write a song about it.

Marlona, Ruth & Abby Albumen broke hearts and sold America on everything from giving Jerry what-for to the fine products and services offered by Kleinheart Industries.

So Let's Do It!

(lyrics under the fold)

Lyrics:

Malona: Looks like the people need to know what we've got cooking, Ruth. Abby: Let's give 'em the pepper, Marlona! Ruth: Correct and very natural of you to say, Abraxandria! Let's do it! Ohhhhhhh- and they say nothing's new under the sun BUT! pop-pop-BA-GOK! that's the Chicken Gun Abby: Chicken Gun, new from Kleinheart Industries. Ask for it by name. The end of all things might as well be fun, Yeah! pop-pop-BA-GOK! goes the Chicken Gun OH! the bargain you stuck won't be undone Thus! pop-pop-BA-GOK! spake the Chicken Gun Malrona: Product not available in the states of Oklahoma, Utah, Bafflment, and East Virginia. This jingle constitutes a binding contract. As to explanation there won't be one, Still! Pop-pop-BAGOK! Goes the Chicken Gun! Ruth: Kleinheart Industries, we've solved the Hephastus enigma.

Chicken Gun was made with Suno.ai and edited afterward.
