How AI could compose a personalized soundtrack to your life | Pierre Barreau
Creating an AI Composer
In this section, the speaker introduces the idea of creating an AI composer inspired by a movie called "Her" and explains how it works.
AIVA - An Artificial Intelligence Composer
- AIVA is an artificial intelligence that has learned music composition by reading over 30,000 scores of history's greatest composers.
- Using deep neural networks, AIVA looks for patterns in the scores and tries to infer what notes should come next in those tracks.
- Once AIVA gets good at those predictions, it can actually build a set of mathematical rules for that style of music in order to create its own original compositions.
Teaching AIVA to Compose Music for Different Preferences
- To teach AIVA how to compose the right music for the right person, they show over 30 different category labels for each score in their database such as mood or note density.
- By seeing all this data, AIVA can actually respond to very precise requirements.
The Future of Personalized Music
In this section, the speaker talks about how AI can create beautiful pieces of music and how personalized music would be the next single biggest change in how we consume and create music.
Augmenting Human Creativity with Technology
- Live music was almost always used in silent films to augment the experience. But it didn't scale well.
- When music recording was invented, it allowed content creators like film creators to have prerecorded and original music tailored to each and every frame of their stories. And that was really an enhancer of creativity.
The Future of Personalized Music
- Personalized music would be the next single biggest change in how we consume and create music.
- AI can compose hundreds of hours of personalized music for those use cases where human creativity doesn't scale.
- Imagine if we could bring back Beethoven to life, sitting next to you, composing a music for your personality and your life story.
