MuseNet will play an experimental concert today from 12-3p PT livestreamed on our Twitch channel. No human (including us) has ever heard these pieces before, so this will be an interesting showcase of MuseNet’s strengths and weaknesses. Through May 12th, we’re also inviting everyone to try out our prototype MuseNet-powered music generation tool.

I really, really want to see a live band or orchestra play a set of AI-composed pieces, none of which were filtered or manipulated by humans. Just generate MIDI, spit out sheet music (hopefully written well enough that it can be sight-read), and hope for the best. I'd buy a ticket for that, without a doubt!

We'll be playing generated MIDI without human filtering or manipulation today (though playing them synthetically of course)! If you know of an orchestra looking for some music, we could do the rest of what you describe :).

Perhaps an AI-assisted version of Ben Folds' "composing a symphony on-stage"? [0]

Is the tool out yet? Not sure if I'm missing a link somewhere on that page. Excited to try this out!

At 2:08 PM PT, the Mendelssohn track was unbelievably good. I'm incredibly impressed.

Looks like there's no sound in the channel.
