AI after releasing its 9th symphony:
A fatal error occurred.
😂
Kiyo Yo LMFAOOOOO
Good one XD
if you can die after 9th symphony humanly you can die after 9th symphony digitally 😂
It's not a bug. Just a feature
It would be INTERESTING to 'feed' this AI two movements of a finished symphony and see how it compares to the original 3rd :)
It would be too similar. 3rd movement needs contrast, so you should feed it other things on purpose
@@johnprice3341 I would love to see you actually try out and see how it goes. Cause that's probably not gonna happen, would be similar but they would be a lot different too
BP Thành Vinh I didn’t understand “it would love to see you...” did you mean “I?” And the less data you give it, the more repetitive and less musical it would be because it guesses bad patterns from the lack of a large data set.
@@johnprice3341 yea, It was "I..." well, it depends on the symphony itself. Sometimes the third/fourth movement has no correspondence with the first two/three. Sometimes, the second movement act as a bridge and third is a transendence movement, there's too much variety, I might have heard it doesn't mean it's common, it is classical music afterall
That's a good idea.
I like how whenever you're not playing your violin you just kind of... cuddle it
Our instruments are our babies ❤️
Smooth brain: resting your violin on your knee with your bow pointing upwards
Wrinkly brain: tucking the violin under your arm with the bow somewhere down low
Galaxy brain: putting the violin and bow on the floor under your chair, eat a snack while chatting to your desk partner, throwing the wrapper at the French horns, and missing your entry
@CatsKalambur lol yea, unlike that thumbnail from one of Twoset's reacting video on movie Brahms I think?

@@mrtoast244 wysi
As an AI researcher (specifically from the Natural Language Processing area) the reactions from you guys are feeding my heart hahaha
But, let's take it easy as mentioned by my colleagues already AI in general are pattern finders most of the time, and we may have to wait a little longer for really creative AIs to appear.
Although I can totally see them coming with Reinforcement Learning and GANs.
Well these are my 2cents ☺️
Your work is awesome, please continue. Btw I've just bought a Violin and will go for my practices as well.
Ai will never compose any lengthy work as it lacks logical processing just like a general ai bottleneck incpabale of abstract thinking
I wonder what an AI would do if it composed a symphony, used a survey to analyze whether it counted as a "good" piece, and got a 50/50 like/dislike response. Would it conclude that, based on the nature of statistics and the subjectivity of art, that this was technically the most ideal piece it could make?
@@johannsebastienbach Is it really? Because music is at the end of the day and endless repetition of the same patterns. Now days coming up with a new melody that also sounds good is rather difficult. And what your brain process as "creative" in music is exactly those patterns (that why they are used constantly).
I have to find a composer that do not inspire himself to other previous composers, and inspiration is the pure definition of what the IA does, look at patterns and try to replicate them.
The actual weakness of the AI is that it cannot define what it sounds good. You have either to train it by telling it "this is beautiful learn this" or by giving it a set of parameters to look at and saying "this are the parameter for the perfect composition".
In any case, we have the entire western culture complaining about how role modeling works around everything. We claim that the concept of beauty is defined by the TV and News papers, meaning that as human we choose to consider what looks "good" by looking at what other people tell us to consider good. So can you please state where is the difference between AI learning from humans and humans learning from humans?
@@GabrieleNunnari I don’t think it’s that simple. I find it fascinating that even with the limited amount of notes we haven’t reached the limits. The Batman dark knight theme sounds completely unique and hundreds and thousands of songs have been made before it.
Also music evolves. What we consider today as classic was the metal of the medieval times, don’t forget that. Styles emerge and create new atmospheres. Music is 100% a transformation of information of emotions. The notes are the tools, which is why we haven’t run out of melodies imo
@@codecampbase1525 after stumbling upon "music similarities" compilations on youtube where random anime game music, classical music, indie rock and who knows else have pretty much the same motif, and then starting to notice it outside of youtube videos myself, i'm almost sure that we already did and all of the melodies are either same, with slight variations or a mix of several others with the saving grace being the fact that melody is not the only part of the musical piece.
eddy: im not a music expert
the entire fandom: YOU ARE A MUSIC EXPERT
Yep, he definitely is!
In terms of theory, not really.
Do not read my profile picture Yeah agree. Could say that’s one of their weaknesses.
I am sure that even the most intelligent AI can't compose a lo-fi that is similar with Brett's.

@@immanueldah2684 Probably because a AI programmed to do lo fi relaxing song would not reach a terror like music as Brett's

11:33 Miguel's comment is spot-on. It's not like they're claiming they created a Schubert AI that can write an infinite number of symphonies in the style of Schubert. It's not much different from any composer attempting to finish the symphony based on their understanding of Schubert. It's not perfect but it shows that technology can do and how it can help compose great music (albeit with a human composer cleaning up the finished product)
The reality is, pretty soon, a human composer will not be sufficient to "clean up" the works of a computer. They will lack the skill.
@@TheJerad1 ?? why would that be
@@RobinsMusic Just like how a human can no longer best a computer at 'Chess' or 'Go' or 'Tic-Tac-Toe', or any game, soon the best human composer will not be able to compose at the level of 'A.I. composers". Sorry Schubert.
@@TheJerad1 I'd put a lot of money on you being wrong about that one!
1:22 Lucas Cantor composed the movements... with the HELP of AI. That's really different from AI composing a symphony, and probably accounts for the Pixar/Disney vibe.
Yeah I really want to know what exactly the AI actually did and what our boy Luke did.
Schubert would be turning in his grave to hear that attempt at completion. What is worse, is that a really successful completion has already been made many years ago by Brian Newbould, who knew everything there is to be known about the music of Schubert. Lucas Cantor is a bloody fool as is his AI. If you would rely on Lucas Cantor, you might as well eat your head.
@@CSRgamer I think the algorithm didn't do much, it probably just generated a set of notes as the article in the video said, then the compositor just started his work from there.
Whenever I work with AI it always feels way too mechanical, and the learning process make it feel like a random generator (random until you get something right), even if you give them huge datasets these algorithms have an insignificant "brainpower" compared to the human's, we eighter need a breakthrough in the design or much more processing power to make, for example, bigger neural networks.

I think people are forgetting that the only thing the AI did was write a couple of melodies that resembled Shubert's style, that's it, no harmony, no orchestration, nothing else. The movements were written by a composer imitating Schubert and using the AI's generated melodies. That being said, I would love to listen to an actual completely AI generated movement. Orchestrated and all... Needless to say they'd need an entirely different AI learning setup. Anyway, remember people, the only thing the AI did was write the melodies.
Yep, the smartphone site clearly say that it just wrote the melodies: consumer.huawei.com/uk/campaign/unfinishedsymphony/ I’ve heard when AI is used for orchestration and it usually sounds off. It just seems like a useful tool for composers to get inspiration… for now.
I thought that might be the case. Thanks for confirming it

An AI scientist here.
I haven't read the article that you were talking about in the beginning, but yes, as it said, the AI (or rather, "Machine Learning") algorithms can process the available data, find patterns in it, and then use that to either predict what comes next, or perform a prognosis of what new data might look like, or somehow classify the new data samples.
So, as an extremely simplified example, if you give it a sequence "1, 2, 3, 4, 5...", then it will learn the pattern that there's a sequence of numbers, and each new number is bigger than the previous by 1, and then will give a prediction: "...6, 7, 8, 9, etc".
And if you give it something like "1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, ...", then it might learn that it's again, a sequence of numbers, next one is always bigger by an increasing number, and it will continue the sequence with "...28, 36, 45, etc." The sequences and the patterns in them can be much more complex, of course.
Incidentally, more sophisticated Machine Learning algorithms can do this with things like stock market prices, climate/temperature data, strings of text (maybe you've heard of AI algorithms "writing" books, movie scripts or fanfics?), images (e.g.., generating human faces or entire photographs, see www.thispersondoesnotexist.com, or, given a picture of a dog, say that "it's probably a dog"), and yes, with music data. Because sheet music can be easily encoded with a sequence of numbers or symbols, and then the algorithms can analyse it and give predictions.
My guess, again, without reading the article, is that the algorithm only generated the base of the musical piece, and then this guy just tweaked it, cleaned it, smoothed it out and fancied it up a bit, to sound prettier and more human-like.
And yes, it can't quite get the "human element". The inspiration, the "soul", so to speak. So if you give the algorithm a sequence like "1, 2, 3, 69, 420...", the algorithm will just go "u wot mate?".
You should've posted the link in the description to the original article.
EDIT: yeah, I removed the bit about the degree. That wasn't a good place to mention it, I agree. I don't know why that rhymed.

Honestly, I think AI is very people extremely underestimate AI’s future in music. Music boils down to a format of patterns, and AI is exceptionally well at picking up on patterns…
I think the music industry will be heavily effected by AI by 2030.
I have been making ai music last year, there is a video on my profile you can check, its extremely good and takes a split sec to make! So yes.
AI will change everything. Not only our music.
Music is not pattern, music is based on pattern which is created by human. Based on does not mean strictly follow. Music like Jazz and Flamenco often have variations of the basic theory and evolves overtime, don't play by score, play by feel. AI can only follow, cannot create.
@@wonghow actually, an that is what an AI is best at, it is best at following and creating indirect patterns. Afterall, creating is literally what an AI is made to do.
Following a strict pattern is what a traditional programming script is best at.
@@redthunder6183 AI only learn from certain patterns, and rules, does not create. Humans don't need to use patterns or rules, that's why you don't understand music. A player can create based on feel. "El Duende" That's why AI means AI, a robot, can't feel, can't think, can't listen, not suited for everything.
Eddy: It would be interesting to see an AI concert
Me: *VOCALOID*
edit. I'm not saying that the Vocaloids can make their own songs like the AI twoset mentioned in this video. But they do indeed put up holograms for concerts. I also agree that they shouldn't explore vocaloid by themselves but someone else that is familiar with vocaloid should recommend to them.
Sorry if I caused any misunderstandings ;A;
Ah yes, Miku.
Hahaha true
Yes this one hahahaha
I wouldn’t necessarily call Vocaloid AI software tho as people generally do all the music and tuning of the voices themselves. Honestly it’s more work than just singing in making a voicebank, making an original song with a voicebank, or making a MMD. Every single detail down to each syllable needs to be fine tuned and it’s just as much work as normal music producing or maybe even more. As for MMDs, if you don’t have experience the dancing is just gonna come out looking like those crappy ragdoll games.
But I do agree that since we already have hologram concerts, concerts with AI generated music using voicebanks and production software don’t seem too far fetched.

Great stuff guys. Love the style
I imagine them buying tickets to see a ballet, getting too wrapped up in the music and just pulling out their violins and playing along.
As an AI practitioner, I can try to explain what happened. The most likely algorithms that generate the piece is called LSTM (Long-short Term Memory), or it also could be Attention Model. Both algorithms learn the pattern based on all the "training data" that they are provided, namely all Schubert symphonies, or could be all symphonies that are ever written in the similar period. The learned algorithm will try to predict the "future data", based on the "input data", which is Mov 1st and 2nd, and predict the next note, and next note, all the way to the end when it predicts the "end note". Here are some explanations to your questions:
1. How does it remember the proper sequence of instruments coming in? Because it learns the PATTERN of all symphonies, and according to some rules of symphony composing (or "code" as you guys mentioned in the video), they all happen in certain order. Once AI decides the proper timestamp that each instrument comes in, it will predict the starting notes and rhyme for each instrument, and lay them on top of each other, one by one.
2. Why is it repetitive? This also happens to AI speech generation, which uses very similar technique with AI music composition. The model is predicting the "next note" in sequential order. For example, when the current predicted note is C, the next most likely note will be predicted at G. Then after several rounds of iteration, when some future note is predicted at C again, the one after future C will be predicted at G again. In other words, if the music never ends, you will see endless rounds of same passages occurring, just like seeing repeating decimals 2.123412341234......
3. Why does it sound more like Tchaikovsky in certain parts? Easy to think about, that AI tries to learn the pattern based on all "training data", and the algorithm developer must have provided Tchaikovsky's pieces as part of training data. Throughout the AI music generation process, AI is trying to predict the next passages by giving a mixture of all composers that it learns from, such as 40% Tchaikovsky + 50% Schubert + 5% Dvorak + 5% Beethoven.
4. Why does 3rd movement sound like 1st movement? Because it learns the pattern of all musics. Not sure if it's true in Symphonies, I would say it's very likely the case in piano concertos, that 3rd movement paraphrases the 1st movement quite often, such as Rachmaninoff piano concerto 2 & 3.
@Tianqi Yang This is by far a very good explanation from a technical perspective. I was hoping someone would explain the things here. As a part of AI community, I would want to shed some light on this too.
To those who don't follow AI actively and to those who are afraid of this. Here are some facts? Take it with a pinch of salt because these are something the community is saying(not my personal opinion)
1. AI -- > AI is, essentially to date, a pattern-matching machine. It is very good at finding a very very complex pattern and has already defeated humans on this topic. But it is a machine/algorithm at the end of the day. AI works primarily from memory(which it has already learned)
2. AGI --> AGI is supposed to be a system that has the human-level intelligence. Intelligence is not defined yet. AI model was inspired by human brain neurons but doesn't mean it is fully mimicking the human brain. There are lots of things besides a neuron that controls the human system(cell for an example).
3. If somebody says AGI is already there they are lying (some business strategy). Nevertheless, AGI will come in the long run maybe.
4. somebody could argue saying that historically any new invention creates new jobs and kills the older ones (Telephone invention killed a lot of jobs but created a lot of jobs too)
5. Here is a good argument, In a world where if AI automates all the boring jobs then people will have time to do creative thinking. My understanding is at least in my life the skills like ART will have much more value than the ones which can be automated.
Nobody cares(at least from the point of music intellectuality) about AI generating art(a lot of deep learning models can easily generate paintings). Also, people wouldn't mind if bots like google duplex automate a lot of call center jobs.
wow, computer science student and twosetter and Chinese. Can we be friends?
@@tannyxie8328 I was electronics engineering student and I'm Indian. Can we be friends? 🙈.
I've been closely following the Google Coconet Ai and Magenta that was presented last year in a doodle... it is able to finish or create simple melodies with AI. It dissected Bach's compositions to compose harmonizations in the style of Bach. They trained it by omitting certain notes from original compositions and created a rating system for the AI rewarding solutions that closely resemble the original compositions. Through the accumulation process they gradually increased the amount of missing notes. Harmonization was the goal but with a few more rules and exceptions added they made it compose entire symphonies from scratch. Even the data evaluation process for rating predictions can be automated because google, through 'google music' and 'youtube music' is able to create popularity charts based on airtime numbers, gender, country, special interest, etc....
I bet their project was actually a disaster, and there was a bunch of human intervention with the AI’s choices, even editing the music afterwards. It’s easy to lie and say something is AI; Sofia’s public conversations were rehearsed beforehand.
Eddy: Says "Interesting" normally
Us: panik
It was very nice to see them acknowledge both sides/perspectives. I like it when people say "I am conflicted" because most of the time it means they've tried looking at it from multiple perspectives. Saying that also means that rather than committing to on side too soon, they would rather gather more information to make a better decision.
Edit:
Personal thoughts. The idea of AI composing music is pretty cool and intimidating! Music is still a human thing though.
i'm late to this but HOLYYYY this is giving me an existential crisis... I really like how in the ending they briefly brought up the topic of what it means to create music (or just art in general) and what it means to be human and I really wish they could talk more about that in another video. This is mindblowing.

An AI does need hundreds of hours to be able to do something.
I once made one that played minesweeper and it took it 3 days to learn how to play ok. And that is hundreds or thousnads of cycles per hour.
Doesn't that depend on your computational power? I mean, I think that Alpha Zero, one of the best chess engines in the world, trains for around four hours and defeats Grand Masters.
@@mariopalenciagutierrez4318 What did you do to overcomplicate an AI so badly that it can't play minesweeper properly for days? It should be easy to make one that plays perfectly without any machine learning involved at all, meaning no learning time. Even machine learning based a standard computer should learn minesweeper in seconds, not days. Don't base technical limitations on your own bad code. "Hundreds or thousands of cycles per hour"? It should be per second if you implemented it correctly.
@@gronbuske i did it through machine learning.
Yes, i know it was hundreds of thousands per hour.
Took a couple million games for it to learn by itself.
@@mariopalenciagutierrez4318 I do hear what you say, but even a few million games should take seconds or minutes, not hours and days. Post your github or wherever you put your code and I can probably fix the issue for you. A minesweeper round done by a computer should take a few milliseconds, you're saying hundreds per hour meaning every round took seconds instead. That only shows you have some serious bottleneck in your program, not that "AI does need hundreds of hours to do something"; that is absolutely false and misguiding.
FYI the piece was actually finished with the help of a human composer, here’s what they said on their website:
“This wouldn’t have been possible without pairing the technological innovation of Huawei’s AI with human expertise, so Emmy award-winning composer Lucas Cantor was brought onboard to arrange an orchestral score based on the melody that the Mate 20 Pro smartphone composed to compete the symphony and perform it.”
Don’t get me wrong, the Ai is still really impressive though.

AI won't be interested in replacing Beethoven. More likely to be interested in creating uncharted novel classical music industry market (by its creators).
It sounds scarily good but it does say in the article that Lucas Cantor composed it "with the help" of AI. I wonder how much he changed the AI suggestions. Maybe the raw AI material is not THAT good?
Now I want to see David Bruce interview Cantor about how this *actually* worked, especially the orchestration, with commentary on the "how to sound like" aspects by Nahre Sol 😆
He cudda just gotten ideas for a melody or something. Pretty vague lol
This shit right here. Most tech-journalism around AI can be super fallacious, thanks in part to the programmers trying to drum up interest. You need to check how much the AI "wrote a symphony" and how much "a human picked what the AI was to focus on and replicate". Even in the case of a 'true AI' what suggestions it will form are based on a system designed by a human, so it's always tricky to say the AI did anything on its own.
Counter-point though, a lot of people in art would argue you could say the same about human composers/artists/writers. The conventions of different genres and mediums are learned and developed from past humans' techniques and teachings, so one could say we're all "programmed" to perceive specific forms of arts in specific ways. Value judgements about an AI's ability to be creative is thus a bit confusing.
I think he orchestrated the melody that was made by the AI
I think the AI made the repetitive stuff we can hear in the 3rd mvt. There are ideas made by the AI, but the human person chooses how articulate these little patterns. I don't know if an AI can wrote an entire symphony without too much repetitions. In the case of Schubert, there are not enough datas : the AI can only see little patterns, but not a whole pattern we could find in all Schubert's symphonies.
So I think (and hope) human composers are always much better than a good AI.
Every now and then i find your channel, each time i enjoy the videos. :)
I just randomly selected this video out of curiosity for classical music. And I'm glad I did. Good video. Very interesting!
What I thought is: it would very fun to give AI an existing finished piece and let it compose the last movement, and then compare the real one and the artificial one. I'm particularly interested in what Sibeluis Violin Concerto's last movement would turn out like
I was thinking the same ting. Hope some one will do that.
To be fair, I would suspect this is how the AI is actually trained so... it could be quite close? No idea, would love to hear that too!
@@a.baciste1733 It is, most machine learning (one of AI branch, so to speak) validate the result generated by the model with real data to see whether the model is good or not good enough. (CMIIW)
This is pretty much a principle in machine learning: after training the machine (AI) on a dataset, you give it some new input it hasn't seen, observe the generated output, and compare against the true expected output to see how the machine performed
"Hey Siri, compose me a symphony, please."
Siri: "Okay..."
Their faces for that split second was like it was all over.
We should also consider that the AI can do this in a few minutes. It can write an entire lifetime of music in an afternoon. I'm a visual artist and watching AI create polished illustrations and photos in seconds is intimidating. Hiring an illustrator for a day or two results in a few good pieces. An Ai can make THOUSANDS in the same time frame, and cost a client much less than half the money. I'm terrified.
I understand but at the same time I think human crafted art will be even more valued. Think craft beer or homemade produce.
see the opp - not everyone knows how to produce these using A. I.
The problem with AI art is that it's very difficult to get what you want specifically. It can create *an* art, but as the client you don't get to decide on small details. It's basically like using stock photos
@@Unelith that seems short sighted. In just a few months... Maybe a year, that will be figured out. Dall- e 2 can already paint in and paint out. You can't think of this in terms of small limitations

Hello Classicaloid
it kinda scares me that AIs are able to do things like this.
Same. I just feel like they are taking over the human population slowly, without letting us know.
Lmao there's even a hypothesis/theory that the universe is an AI simulation. Even made 3 movies about it.
Btw, the AI only wrote the melody, the orchestra score was made by a real composer
@@noo4449 how did you know
@@mynamemylastname5620 it said so in the description of the video they reacted to

Very interesting video, gentlemen! Good job. Perceptive analysis. Looking forward to other publications from you.
"It really challenges what it means to make music, and what it means to be human, I guess." -Eddy
You perfectly worded it, Eddy. Such wisdom.
@@heyytheree Eddy's quotable quotes shall live forever
Nah. The AI is reflecting what Schubert composed according to human generated rules on pattern matching. I'd say, AI shows us more what it means to be human and to make music. Note how quickly Eddy and Brett detected it was like Schubert, but not exactly like Schubert. Even I, an amateur musician, thought the third movement was very much like the first, and essentially a slightly changed copy. A human composer wouldn't do that. There's a story to tell in the music. You might have some phrase repeating or evocative of the earlier movements, but there'd be surprising differences as the story progresses.
I think of Beethoven's 9th and his 1st, 2nd, and 3rd movements and how they refer back to each other, but lead inevitably to the fourth.
LING LING GRANGER Definitely! Maybe remove the I guess though... to make Eddy sound like the true genius he is!
ACTUALLY AI DID NOT COMPOSE THIS ON IT'S OWN . The AI actually only composed a melody that was latter turned into a full score by a human composer. Huawei hired composer Lucas Cantor to arrange an orchestral score based on a "melody" the AI wrote . The following is from Huawei own press release. "This wouldn’t have been possible without pairing the technological innovation of Huawei’s AI with human expertise, so Emmy award-winning composer Lucas Cantor was brought onboard to arrange an orchestral score based on the melody that the Mate 20 Pro smartphone composed to compete the symphony and perform it live."
Bruh
why is huawei everywhere lol
The spy Mawsta so in other words big deal. A not exceptionally bright high school student could write a program that generates a melody randomly.
That makes more sense
Fefe H Well if they really are a front for Chinese intelligence that would explain why
I love you guys!! This was such an awesome video! I'm sure a I couldn't compose some amazing classical pieces but the one thing that can never do is put heart and soul and feeling into the peace because it (software) doesn't have those elements. But it is good at assimilation and simulation
very good discussion on this topic. Keep it up.

The Nokia ringtone came from a classical guitar piece tho
I think it's spelled like "Schu schu" since the AI are trying to finish Schubert's unfinished symphony.
@@gauripande9273 oh yeah right i forgot about that😂😂
Imagine when you get called your phone starts composing a symphony on the spot
@@andresbourgonjon6935 that would... actually be quite pleasing 😂
Oo this is very interesting! Great work twoset!
i’m actually playing the unfinished symphony in my orchestra currently and when i was telling my teacher about it she mentioned that she played in a recording of an ai completed version… so i’m pretty sure my teacher is one of the bassoonists in this
I work as an AI scientist and have a PhD in music theory (specializing in machine learning/AI for music analysis). While I haven't seen the code to this particular example, so many of these hyped "AI composers" are really fake clickbait to get attention for a company (Huawei in this case). My guess is that they had a computer go over the MIDI or xml file of Schubert's symphony and perhaps other similar works. You then train a model to give a probabilistic output of what came next. Example: given the notes G, Bb, A, Schubert would then go to G 40% of the time, D 20% of the time, Bb again 5%, etc. I made those probabilities up, but that's the basic idea. Same with rhythm. You can do this with simple Markov chain probabilities or something more complex like an LSTM or Transformer model. But the end result is that you can produce rhythms and melodies that have a similar probability as Schubert and any other music the model was trained on. But you typically have to get the melodies started (seeding) and end them also. However, current AI has a hard time making motifs, large-scale cohesion, and form. I suspect that this "AI" made a few melodic fragments, and the composer: finished the melodies, arranged the form, made harmonies, dynamics, orchestration, developed motifs, etc. Also, humans performed, recorded, mastered, and produced the music. There are of course very interesting and groundbreaking developments in music AI, such as the Magenta project where their Transformer model approach is starting to show signs of learning motifs and phrase structure. Sure, perhaps in 10 years a lot of commercial music might be made with AI, but we as humans get to choose whether we want our music (not the background muzak that is made to sell you stuff) to be a pure human-to-human pursuit, sit back and let computers make all our music, or integrate AI into our musical world as we see fit much as we have for other technologies. I think music will always be a human-first expression simply because now we will pay lots of money to see people perform music when we could have saved the money and had our computers play a recording of that same music.
cool～

5:05 The AI is so op it included coughs as in real performances
I heard that, too! Was that really AI-generated? It had an echo sound as well, as if someone had coughed in an auditorium...
Maybe the AI only wrote the notes, and actual people were still playing the piece
I’m pretty sure it was only written by AI it was performed by real people
No, but it would be funny if you knew that the AI might've thought that coughs were an "essential" part of the movement. The generated movement weren't probably a sequence of sheet music but rather an actual audio sequence.
I wouldn't be surprised if it puts many coughs during the "performance"
In my opinion I think music is really interesting because it expresses your emotions and feelings and that passion and love you give when you play or compose is so powerful that no type of technology can give or take away. And also the AI did not really do it as perfectly or as well as the actual composer would have done but I appreciate their efforts. Thank you twoset for inspiring me to love music💖🎻
I was just waiting for you to say it sounds like film music. :D When I heard the first tone of that AI music, all I thought was "it sounds way more modern than your standard classical piece, and definitely more modern than the passages from Schubert's symphony that you showed us". You gave it a name. It is repetitive... I'd also say there's this air of... sterile cleanliness, if you know what I mean? It sort of lacks the depth and dynamics that I would expect from a classical piece. Mind you, I am by far no expert, but it just sounds like the modern style that has lost some of the classical flamboyance (is that the right word? I dunno...). And it feels like the tempo doesn't change at all (that's probably what you meant by abrupt). So in my opinion, AI still has a long way to go. Thank god, your jobs are saved. :)
Interesting part about music being just a code - well, in essence, everything is just code. A bunch of ones and zeroes if you strip it down to the basics, because if you get down to it, our thoughts and biological processes are just a bunch of electrical impulses. So the thing that we call our soul is just code and everything we produce is code as well. But do we really want to think like that? :D
“Even the most beautiful music is, ultimately, just code.”
THEM’S FIGHTIN’ WORDS.
The first four bars of eine kleine nachtmusik is nothing but Tonic and Dominant chords. No tensions, no passing notes, just simple arpeggio. If Mozart didn't exist, it would never happened. The simplest example of striking genius.
th-cam.com/video/MeaQ595tzxQ/w-d-xo.html
Beethoven's 5th symphony also has a similar four bar opening.
So So So Me──。Fa Fa Fa Re──。Only four notes.
Can AI do that? I doubt it. A machine doesn't recognize potential beauty mined deep inside the simplicity.
To understand that, a machine has to analyze human being itself. In another words, a machine has to be capable of enjoying music to create one...lol A machine also have to be a genius to produce a good one. Letting mother nature do the job is far easier way.
@@ttwiligh7
It's not too far though. AI is a learning software, it can learn to do so. Like any master composer, they first learned theory in order to create beautiful symphonies. They were taught, trained and became masters of their craft. No toddler can play Beethoven without being taught first.
This sounds very elitist, in my opinion.
@@kotarodesu_23
You can easily end up with garbage just by following rules, unless you have a talent....something AI lacks most.
If it was that easy as you say, everyone can become a great composer by sheer effort.
Let's say you study Bach. Will you be able to write something as deep as Chaconne? Not a chance. How do you expect a machine to express those emotions when it has none? A machine is less than untalented people in that sense, to recognize beauty. How do you judge if a symphony is beautiful or not? Is there any methodical way?
Only if we know how to become genius, and can break down talents into zeros and ones, yes, it might be possible.
And this symphony, is mostly human's work....Not like AI came up with orchestrations. They say only melodies. Not even close to composing a complete piano piece.
If AI could make something like Chopin's piano piece entirely by its own, then I will believe.
@@ttwiligh7
AI is still in its infancy. And like all infants, aren't capable of much. I'm not arguing on the side of AI nor on the side of this elite perspective. You choose to believe in its fallacies and shortcomings whereas I believe in the potential, and that says a lot about you than you think.
@@kotarodesu_23
It says a lot about how you see music.
Even most talented musicians can't become Bach. Then why you think that is possible for a machine? Yeah, it's like a infant, but not every infant has a talent. My question is, how do you program a talent? And You don't seems to have an answer. Just believing? You think you can learn a talent? That's why we circulate the same argument.
If somebody can program AI to be like Bach, he could be Bach himself. There are just so many things you can't just learn methodically, by zeros and ones. Still in a dark, still a mystery.
As I say before, if you can break down creativity into computer language, it might be possible. But that require astronomical bytes, and when it's done, AI must understand human emotions to sense beauty and judge its value like we do. Not going to happen in near future. That's what I'm saying.
I think one or two years ago Google created a Doodle which was something like a tribute to Bach. We can input notes/ our own melody to that doodle, and the AI system would compose, within a few seconds, a 4-part polyphonic melody.
Afaik they already review it
You guys give a wonderful perspective, and so do the folks in the comments. Thanks for everything
🌹 thanks for the content TwoSetViolin! keep up the great work plz 😊
I'm actually interested to see how it would finish Mozart's lacrimosa starting from bar 8
same-
Same too here
Actually this would be a very interesting way to test it: feed it most of a composer’s body of work, give it only a taste of one completed piece, and then let it try to finish that piece. I wonder how different it’d end up compared to the real thing.
@@mrsb50 exactly what i was thinking
"It really challenges what it means to make music and what it means to be human." I am working in an AI-related field; this quote is very important and refreshing for me. Thank you.
In the 1980ies, I had a home computer (the venerable Commodore 64), and for this, I typed in a program from a computer magazine. The program was called MAESTRO64, if I remember correctly. This program was a mixture of a synthesizer and a music setting program, and it had subroutines, one of which was turning the melody you just entered into a baroque fugue. I tried several melodies, and even "Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man" turned into a piece from Bach's Notenbuechlein.
Edit: I just remembered the author of the program, a guy named Frans Dijkstra from the Netherlands.
The best thing that I like about these guys is how they vaguely explain things. It's like we understand them but idk, just idk...
5:05 the AI was so good it programmed a cough into the symphonie.

I agree you guys! There are moments that are beautiful and others that sound like a repetitive film score. In the end, what AI technology can do these days is impressive and better than I expected-even if if's not quite what Schubert would have done.
I'm curious, was this played by a live orchestra os a sampled one?
The "jumping off cliff" part around 8:00 actually sounds like Ghibli films.

In like 10 years, they might. But even 10 years isn't accurate enough. A.I. is still at its toddler age. It will take a lot of time before it stands.
He never promised to play it but if he does, the earliest he would do it is for the 3M subscribers, which they didn't reach yet.
I thought it was going to be the unpublished Sibelius symphony.
very interesting video, thanks!
Thanks for sharing this! I am not any kind of authority on classical music for sure, but I don’t know if all classical composers were accepted by their peers either. I also agree on points from both sides as do you. I also remember synthesizer music when it came out many decades ago. It hasn’t taken over by any means but some were able to express their ideas more I guess. I also agree that the tech is amazing to do what it did!
