At least for the time being, Mr. Bach's legacy is safe.
LOL. Safe indeed. My question is will A.I Bach be nuanced to the degree multiple interpretations become feasible? Bach’s genius is multifaceted. Think of Gould vs Schiff or Perahia and how they differ. We have no trouble identifying the score; we struggle to anticipate how these three gents will play this of that passage based on the score. We are better at anticipating Gould. Schiff and Perahia base on their known performance practices. That’s 😮more difficult but feasible plus or minus. Not Bach. Bach’s inventiveness is stunning. We analyze his scores retrospectively - it all makes sense after we know what he did compositionally. It will take time for BachCBT to get to that level of invention. BachCBT has a way to go 😊
Quite safe! 😂
The legacy will always be safe. Because even a perfect imitation will be just that. Imitation.
…for the time being
@@JoePalau In Bach melodies aren't just there to sound nice or intricate. His music ALWAYS serves a higher purpose and addresses the intellectual, emotional and spritual dimension simultaneously. GPT neither understands nor experiences the human condition.
In that regard A.I. is still is as dumb as my old pocket calculator from the 80s and it reminds us once again that the human brain is way more than just an information processing machine.
A very interesting exploration, which from my point of view illustrates quite nicely why, in the last 300 years, there hasn't been a second Bach.
Well there was Burt Bach

Distant cousins, I know, but AI should be able to figure out how they are similar, right?
aphex twin. look up "28 organ"
yep, very boring and lifeless...
Papa Bach is a mountain higher than the Himalayas. No one will ever have the lungs he had.
@@houdinididiit Agreed on that one.
“..mostly move in parallel motion, another characteristic of Bach’s style..” This is where it all went off the rails, I think. That is opposite of Bach’s style. In counterpoint, parallel motion is only permitted in certain circumstances. It must only occur between thirds and sixths and their inversions. Fifths and octaves, which always begin and end the piece, and should appear less often than thirds and sixths, can only be approached by contrary or oblique motion. For this and many other reasons, it will be rare to find very lengthy sections of parallel motion in a Bach song.
Keep in mind you're trying to explain music theory to a child with ChatGPT (I completely agree with you, of course).
@@progbarock Is it a child that makes these videos?? (How is it that he knows about every movie from the ‘80’s?? Lol! It’s possible though!) Well, there was a book on counterpoint that Beethoven and Mozart and Chopin and most of the greats studied when they were all children, called Gradus ad Parnassum. If it really is a kid that makes these, if he’s smart enough to figure out how to use all this AI tech, he’d probably be able to understand it too. The rules of counterpoint aren’t all that complicated, they were just out of fashion when we were kids. But like 1980’s movies, they seem to be making a well deserved comeback.
Ohh, I see what you mean. GPT is the child, not the guy who makes these videos. Lol.. Yeah, it’s kind of surprising that GPT is even able to generate melodies as good as this. But in fact, when it said it made a harmony with parallel motion, it really was parallel motion. So who knows, maybe it could learn more sophisticated harmonies if it were trained on them.
I need to point out one thing. You say thirds, sixths and their inversions, which is just plain wrong, because thirds and sixths are their respective inversions already haha. If you want to correct it...if not I can't say I really care lol
@@timtimtimm Haha, very true!! I actually thought of that as soon as I posted it. What I meant to say was thirds and sixths and their *octaves*.
I love how the human host also sounds and intonates like he's a TTS voice. I can appreciate the stylistic consistency
That’s because he is a tts voice lol.
He's cloned his own voice. Probably with Eleven Labs.
even some of the writing sounds like it was made with AI.
@@CryptoTonight9393 bruh idk what to believe anymore
@@lovely-shrubbery8578
A stroke of genius to have Scarlett Johansson be the voice of the AI.
And how one does it?? I'm curious
Seeing this video, I just realized that ChatGPT has been used for decades by Philip Glass to obtain his creations, and the reason why they are completely devoid of humanity
I have to disagree. there is no musicality in these demos, Glass feels right.
Haha very funny indeed.
I agree with your observation. Well said.
In your prompts to ChatGPT, tell it to include more rest beats at various places in each of the tracks it is creating. Also, why not ask it to generate a third variable for each note and have that variable be velocity (or loudness)?
@TheTiredHorizonwhat are they?
I was thinking the same thing, it’s hard to write counterpoint if you aren’t allowed any rests
I mean on a harpsichord (Bach's time) there wouldn't be any written velocity or volume variation
@@artonion420It does use 'None' at least in one reply
Next level content. The humour, animations and video clips atop the music experiments. Superb !
You are an ion drive, picking up a little energy every day and converting it to speed. You will get us to Mars safely.
This is one of the reasons why music is my passion, it brings together all the many different aspects of the human experience in a special complex way which is far and beyond machine learning capabilities .
Eventually, AI will be able to at least imitate or match the quality of Bach rather successfully. It's naive to think otherwise.
@@harryturner9304 hmm I think at best it may eventually be possible to do a weak imitation which will sound quite accurate only to the untrained ear. Machines don't have consciousness or emotion, and theyre crucial for creating complex music like Bach's. Human creativity involves much more than computations and imitation, especially in music, and remember imitation isn't really intelligence. They won't be able to add to the works of bach or say a band like radiohead, only in a superficial way which fools people who have a shallow understanding. But of course one way to fake success is by first dumbing down humanity, as big tech has been doing for the last decade.
Keep in mind that ChatGPT wasn't made to be used in this way of for this purpose. If people made an AI to specificaly generate MIDI music, it would be much better.
@@nickgreefpool chat gp is one of the weaker AI, it's basically just a smarter search engine than Google. The point is if they invested all resources into trying to clone bach they couldn't because they can't create conscious A.I .
Are u kidding I have over 6000 songs made with ai making me a shitload of money 😂😂😂
Brilliant!!!!! Well done sir!!! I love your graphic style, your comedic timing and editing, your taste in music, and your curiosity that drives you. You cover so many topics simultaneously. You are giving a little bit of music history and theory with historic thru modem artists that are perfectly picked, and you are showing everyone how to push the limits of what A.I. can do. Can’t wait for the next one!
my feelings exactly! I know a bit of music, and a bit of AI, but this pieces is intense on inspiration!
Oh the progress! I remember being at university in 1982 when my former piano teacher showed up with a computer - & demonstrated how he could play along to it - to practice difficult phrases, etc. And today - you could have ChatGPT play anything in the world almost, plus with any kind of accompaniment - amd you’d not have to spend hours coding a single 8 bit melody line. It’s fairly amazing…
I'm baffled as to why this video doesn't boast millions of views. It's a gold mine of stellar content, with extraordinary editing and spellbinding storytelling. It's my sincere hope that your subscriber count skyrockets 20-fold. This is premium content. Thank you. Keep rocking!
Bc who gives a shit about chat gpt and the trash it produces
because its a niche topic, and its a low effort video with AI generated pics, video clips, script, TTS, etc. your own comment sounds like it was made by chatgpt. pretty soon we'll all be watching 100% ai generated content, and most of the comments will be AI generated as well. simulation theory is real, we're seeing it come to fruition right now.
@@LordConstrobuz lol I got the same feeling about this OP. After reading through a bunch, it wouldn't surprise me to find out most of the comments here aren't from legit users. Using bots to add traffic to a video to boost its reach is a big no no on YT, but I don't care enough to gather the evidence for it and report the video. Small time channel isn't worth the effort. Definitely a bizarro comment section though..
because it doesn't even remotely sound like Bach at all
People who have any idea about creating music stay away from AI. Why? Because in music the process is important, emotional transfer that happens only when you create the music yourself
I'm impressed that you went the hard route and invented your own language for this. There is already a text-based notation for music. It's called "ABC" (I know, a very strange name). And there are even command line tools that convert ABC notation directly to MIDI. And yes, ChatGPT knows ABC notation very well. I've used it to do exactly what you've outlined above, and it's very fast.
another master piece once again! glad to be part of the nobodies collective
very cool, thanks for the video!
and how profound bach's music really is - the human element, imagination and overall facility is irreplaceable even in a world of flourishing technology.
Unreal, on so many levels. Thank you for this. Big fan of Bach's work and loving being able to see what AI can do, it blows my mind!
this is already good enough for video game music 🥺. pretty amazing how far we've come
Keep pushing the boundaries, this is just the beginning. Love your videos
I’ve been waiting for a video like this for a long time and thanks to a mention in a podcast I just saw it. I find it incredible that you pulled this off. We’re on the brink of so many exciting developments and this video will prove to be quintessential I believe. Please keep up the good work and keep developing this train of thought further and further!
That was very interesting and appreciate the great effort you put in to make it happen. Bringing Aphex in seemed to add that twist that resulted in a more creative and Bach like piece
Amazing collaborative efforts with the machines! Great job with the midi to text coding and then feeding it nibbles of notation to analyze. Perhaps it's time for OpenAI to follow suit and train it with as much music midi as possible, if they haven't begun already.
you're crushing it, keep pushing my friend!
Hey @nobodyandthecomputer
Just wanted to give you a big shout-out and say thanks for your amazing videos! My knowledge in music theory is very basic, but I absolutely love the way you break down complex concepts in such funny retro-way. - I just felt the 80's sunrises- . Your videos have opened my eyes and ears to a whole new view to music, and I can't thank you enough for sharing your expertise. Keep rocking!
Have a very good one!🎉
Random drop in - this was so fun - and man did you put a lot o time into the production of the video. Keep up the amazing work. Add one more subscriber to your victory board.
wow this is so stimulating, thanks 4 all U'r hard work!
You know who else is said to have written over 1000 pieces of music and was born before Bach? Vivaldi, the unsung hero of the baroque era. Forget the four seasons, he wrote so many stunning pieces music.
Don't get me started on Vivaldi's lack of appreciation lol. I've played a ton of his pieces and was surprised by how unknown he was to the rest of the non-musical world.
@@pl4gued0ct0r It's criminal tbh. Juditha Triumphans is my favourite :)
So true, his sacred works are sublime too.
What about Telemann? He was quite productive and wrote some wonderful music, too!
Except No I will not forget
the four seasons.
You got me to subscribe with the intro alone, I love the aesthetic of the video, content is fantastic too!
I think it mainly missed some feed to gpt about modulation and borrowed harmonies to start being interesting. GPT stays in key, while bach introduces related key harmonies very quickly as soon as measure 2-3 as the first counterpoint appears
Having played violin from grades 2-12, I played a lot of Bach. This AI attempt is amazing, but in its current state it sounds like Bach might have sounded if he was composing at age 6. It’s very challenging in art or music to write a prompt that gets AI to capture the emotion, the feel, the energy, the power of Bach. You’ve done a good job in getting close, but those years in orchestra, in which a musician is surrounded by the sound, provide a stark contrast. A friend of mine, a classical musician, won a lifetime Grammy for 50 years of performing and recording. Regarding Bach, he once told me, Bach transposes keys incredibly quickly. I don’t have ears to hear that, but it’s just part of the greatest genius of music composition. Keep working at it and I look forward to your progress.
This sounds nothing like Bach, tbh. Very interesting video, though!
I agree. Very underwhelming. But it’s a start. 😊
im just arrive at your channel now and have to say that your videos are freakin' awesome! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 hugs from brazil!!
Your videos are intimidatingly great. The topics. The edits. Production. Humor. The process. And the outcome. Sincerest slow clap for what you're doing 👏😊
Loved the composition at 11:30. Great work.
Thanks for another fun and enlightening video!
Fascinating! Thank you for this wonderment.
Thanks for your work !
NOTHING like the REAL BACH - and nothing like a human composer - to derive intellectual and emotional interest. I MAY be laughed off in 50 years after this progresses by leaps and bounds. For now, just gimme inspired variations of some authentic Bach melodies and development. Emulative music will never have the SOUL OF MANKIND. At least --- it won't have mine!
♥♥♥♥
Thanks for doing this!
One of the best vdos I've seen in years!! Beautifully done, sir!
Gold. I love the perversity of using clunky, unsuitable Chat GPT for the job, when there’s decades of successful work on the synthesis of musical style.
I actually think that using GPT like this is the secret sauce and honestly a much more advanced way of generating music with AI compared to Google's MusicLM and the other one i forget what its called
@@joey4track I was actually thinking of David Cope's work. N&tC use of text to force Chat GPT to write music is brilliant, even though the results are for now unsurprisingly shoddy.
This has been done like decades ago and infinitely better.
I wish your channel fantastic success, your work is top level.
Super cool! Thanks man
Thanks for this video. It demonstrates very good, how GPT can be teached and instructed to create interesting things.
Been there done that - David Cope's : EMI (Experiments in Musical Intelligence) software has produced works in the style of various composers, some of which have been commercially recorded ranging from short pieces to full-length operas.
Really well made video. Chatgpt is absolutely mind blowing.
ChatGPT is like: Melody goes always up and down, right?
Your enthusiasm is contagious!
Holy crap, that's insane! Well done, sir!
Your videos are awesome. I love how it is all ai generated content and your style is fun. Thanks
Can you explain Bach s well tempered clavier, 2 x 12 scalebased modes of cycle of fiths as preludes and fueges like this in GPT? or need something else to do this like Music21 of MIT? I just wonder if in writing would be easier to understand than in vid?
What software do you use for the animating of the pictures? I would love to be able to sync some images I have to voice tracks.
This is the best way to make AI music in its current state, and you are the ONLY person doing this right now. Freaking love your videos man. Thank you so much
Why is it the best way?
@@pieterpierrot1490 Because the other two big ai music models still don't sound very good at all and don't really follow prompts very well either
this is utter dogshit and probably the worst way to generate music. nor is this person the only one making generated music
I bet Microsoft will see this video, automate, spice up, and you will have Midi productions in Bing! Bard will come next (or a minute earlier) :)
Wow, Scarlett Johansson has never sounded so disinterested in something... and that's saying something.
I respectfully disagree, this is standard Scarlett Jo tone.
This is very well put together great job!
Also
It may just be me but I seem to be finding Wes anderson style everything these days. and I love it.
I did something similar to this a couple of months ago and got pretty similar results. There is a tool called csv2midi. After we agreed on the format it was fairly easy to do the generations and conversions. I didnt do Bach, but I had it generate chords, pads, drums, melody and a couple of other tracks. It was okay, but it wasn't hugely impressive. That said, it seemed like we are pretty close to a breakthrough with the pipeline. Great video.
This is the way, ...take a catchy melody and make variations with AI
6:30 into this video I hit pause. I will now head over to patreon, sign up and subscribe. Your work is so important - it's hard to put into words lol. This is Pioneer Shit ✨✨✨
Awesome video sir! Wondering what tool you used to make the intro?
Interesting but still some way to go, but many thanks for all the work you put in, I enjoyed your video, all the best Joseph
That is an extraordinary process. The end result.had something, perseverance pays off.
Excelente amigo, sigue adelante, es un trabajo muy importante e interesante el que iniciaste.
Amazing... I am more bamboozled that a bamboozled thing having just passed a bamboozled course in a bamboozled way... bamboozledly! But I love what I think you just did! I absolutely am discombobulated but love it!
So cool! Grazie!!! Greetings from Italy🤩
As someone who has spent a week of research on bach's fugues, as soon as ChatGPT said Bach often used parallel motion I knew we were in for a ride lmao
Wow! How these animations of the paintings were made? That looks amazing!
Beautiful video!
All of the rules, none of the soul.
What ghastly melodies, for a start.
Fascinating.
Exquisite video, loved it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting. Thanks for putting this together, it looks like it was a lot of work. Another interesting video about using algorithms and computers to write music is called "AI music is older than you think" on a channel called "Score circuit". It approaches it from a music theory standpoint though.
Pretty amazing what kind of melodic style it's able to achieve, plus understanding how to make pleasant harmony. The contrast between that and the complete lack of progression in the harmony is kinda surprising. Wonder what it will take to get AI writing counterpoint with functional harmony?
‘Not so Bach but not so bad’ - favorite 2023 quote
top 10 best uses of Eleven labs. well done
Dude, I really enjoyed this video.
very well done video
Well made video!🎶🎹
9:32 is that johanson voice?
"Not so bach but not so bad." Lovely line!
Great work!
Very nice!!!
Anyone remember C.P.U. Bach by Sid Meier? It came out in the mid 90's. On the Wikipedia page for it there's a link to the the original patent which may be of interest.
Thank you , very interesting , the way you prompt and give the backstory, which is the KEY to producing with AI , the better the backstory , interpretation , imagination , selection of instruments , tempo , the higher the quality of tunes , can only get better. In future their might be an AI producer Grammy category .
Great work. I wonder how many dozens of hours you put to create such an interesting video.
this is beyond amazing
Excellent!!
Very interesting. I would love to see a video on how you would prompt engineer for good lyrics. I notice ChatGPT forces rhymes to painful lengths at times.
Cool technique, using a key prompt to put chatGPT in a specific mindset. I do the same thing, making up linguistic games, and teaching them to chatGPT. Sometimes, I just give a concept of a game and have it write the rules so I can understand the game too.
That was awesome!
Video production is fire. Sounds weird and wonderful.
Hey peepz! :)
Can somebody tell me plz how these videos of people talking were done in the video?
Awesome video btw. love it!
LMAO was not expecting the aphex twin part, but I totally love it. I love aphex and Bach!
dude your rock is amazing, thanks !!!
"it will be rare to find very lengthy sections of parallel motion in a Bach song..”
Ya, thanks for mentioning this. The big problem with this whole idea is that to be fair to Bach, you would either have to be Him to program ChatGPT's guidelines or be someone who can totally discern his style and background. Normally this would be a genius musicoligist. You have to ask yourself if the person running this experiment has those qualifications. Please do not take this the wrong way and think I am dissing the author of this channel. I have no problem with the process. Just the expectations inplied in the concept.
Very well narrated and executed!
Super interesting!! 👏🏻
WOW! very nice channel, subscribed!
Fascinating. Someone who came close to being that impossible "second Bach" was Shostakovich whose 24 Preludes and Fugues composed as an anniversary tribute are often rather more than pastiche and seem like new music Bach might have composed in the late 1950's. Shostakovich was a genius musician but as well as the compositional mastery you can clearly hear the essential human element at work which transcends even the most intense technical skill and mimicry. This "synthetic" music is often very enjoyable to listen to and admirable in its skill but it is missing something impossible to describe but always recognisable - a sense of humanity. Its very abscence is an intriguing even artistic element here. It will be fascinating to hear it evolve.
This a historic video. And as usual under the radar.. I'm a programmer and Nintendo fan. I loved nintendo's midi use which made games sound design more dynamic. Stuff like this could be the path to real time music instead of trying to rely on Nvidia etal making 10000x faster hardware to create WAVs/Mp3s. A LOT of people are just brute forcing the AIs hoping for magic when well thought out implementations like this show that AI doesnt have to be the entire pipeline to achieve powerful results.
Thats essentially the point of the new functions feature in the API. You write tons of useful functions, and give the parameters to the model, and it can call the function directly. So in this example, youd write the funciton, and have the AI call it and automatically write the files, instead of having to copy paste etc.
I've already created functions for editing files, writing files, wikidata queries, write multiple files at once, python interpreter, webscraping, etc. It's reallly useful.
But the musical examples aren't powerful results here.
A music generation AI needs to understand intervals and chords vertically and horizontally over time. Counterpoint, in other words, is worked out at once.
@@aelfrice This isn't even a midi generation ai model, its a language model taught to output midi. Look at the results he got from such a small "training set". A fully trained model or fine-tuned version of this "hack" would yield more creative, coherent musical pieces.
Such a nice channel!
Very cool!!
You master it! Thanks a lot!
