You deserve a better reply and I will write you one later, but...

Arctopus fucking rules but this take is hot as fuck my dude.

Bro, the song skullgrid was generated by a Java program that Colin and a programmer friend of his, ~~possibly Mike~~ , was working on. In 200X. You've been rocking out to AI generated music before you even realised. Brian Eno also had some music that was meant to be generated by an automated system, and afaik, so did John cage.

Edit : https://colinmarston.bandcamp.com/album/computer-music-2003-2004

the sounds were created in Wire, a program using Jsyn written by Phil Burk, which is a java-based synthesis engine. i created the scores in JMSLscore (a java-based scoring program by Nick Didkovsky). this allowed me to access sounds i created from scratch, but organize them with a traditional musical staff.
"Fore" became the warr guitar part for the song "Skullgrid" from BTA. the first 41 seconds: beholdthearctopus.bandcamp.com/album/skullgrid

That is by no means AI generated, and certainly not by today's understanding of the term. If I write a score and design an instrument (or sound, etc), that is still a creative process. Brian Eno literally created ambient music with algorithms like that, but it is still his creative work.

My point is just computer-generated ≠ ai-generated in general discourse.

What's the difference? Why isn't it seen as a collaboration between the person writing the prompt (using a scripting language) and the programmer/designer of the generation software and curator of the Data set?

[–] Uebercomplicated@lemmy.ml 2 points 12 hours ago

I'm not sure I entirely follow you (I'm only half awake, sorry), but programmed music is only generated by computers insofar the computer is generating 44100 samples every second based on a set of mathematical rules the composer made. AI music is generated based on huge datasets and probability; the composer has very little to no specific control.

If I program a instrument/synth in Supercollidor or Pure Data or some hardware synth, and then sample the instrument/synth or create and sequence a melody for it on my MIDI (piano) keyboard or Schism Tracker, etc., I have complete and absolute control over everything, down to the very waveform. In that case I am truly and purely the creator of the piece.

If I type in a prompt, I am just playing a probability lottery. I have done jack shit more than describing a piece of music.

I might have misunderstood you though. For now, I'm going to bed. Good night!
