    My ersterselbstgemachter hip-hop beat meets zeitgeist of Soundcloud rapper: Clear, light drums, a melancholy synsizer melody and a bass, Dergemächlich is throbbing. The more I hear him, more nod Ichzufrieden with his head. At same time I know: “Homemade” is simply a lie. The beat comes from software vonAmper music. He has composed an artificial intelligence (KI) within a few seconds in browser.

    if ( typeof AdController !== ‘undefined’ !window.Zeit.isMobileView()) { if ( !document.getElementById( ‘iqadtile8’ ) ) { var elem = document.createElement( ‘div’ ); elem.id = ‘iqadtile8’; elem.className = “ad ad-desktop ad-desktop–8 ad-desktop–8-on-article”; elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-type’, ‘desktop’); elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-label’, ‘Anzeige’); document.getElementById(‘ad-desktop-8’).parentNode.appendChild(elem); AdController.render(‘iqadtile8’); if ( window.console typeof window.console.info === ‘function’ ) { window.console.info(‘AdController ‘ AdController.VERSION ‘ tile 8 desktop’) } } } if ( typeof AdController !== ‘undefined’ window.Zeit.isMobileView()) { if ( !document.getElementById( ‘iqadtile3’ ) ) { var elem = document.createElement( ‘div’ ); elem.id = ‘iqadtile3’; elem.className = “ad ad-mobile ad-mobile–3 ad-mobile–3-on-article”; elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-type’, ‘mobile’); document.getElementById(‘ad-mobile-3’).parentNode.appendChild(elem); AdController.render(‘iqadtile3’); if ( window.console typeof window.console.info === ‘function’ ) { window.console.info(‘AdController ‘ AdController.VERSION ‘ tile 3 mobile’) } } }

    Creativity and ability to create art were previously reserved for people. The archaeologist Ian Hodder called Kreativitäteinst “space between material reality and derVorstellungskraft, in which intelligence, adaptability and Problemlösungenaufeinander meet”. At same time, creativity is also a social phenomenon, deeply intertwined with relationships, cultures and experiences.

    One could say that creativity is all that is not a one. However, through developments in field of artificial intelligence, this assumption is crumbling. Ai has received BereitsEinzug in photography and video editing. The music industry could be next – hour not only cost jobs, but also shake self-conception Einerganzen creative industry.

    Composition at press of a button

    “The development of artificial intelligence is like a tsunami that is slowly rolling on us,” says American singer Taryn Sourn in conversation with time online. Instead of waiting for impact, it is changing. Sourn has recorded upcoming album I Am AI. It was composed almost exclusively with software of Amper. For Sourn, who also referred to itself as “VR-beguile” and “Kryptoenthusiastin”, it was above all a “KreativeHerausforderung”, she says.

    if ( typeof AdController !== ‘undefined’ !window.Zeit.isMobileView()) { if ( !document.getElementById( ‘iqadtile4’ ) ) { var elem = document.createElement( ‘div’ ); elem.id = ‘iqadtile4’; elem.className = “ad ad-desktop ad-desktop–4 ad-desktop–4-on-article”; elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-type’, ‘desktop’); elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-label’, ‘Anzeige’); document.getElementById(‘ad-desktop-4’).parentNode.appendChild(elem); AdController.render(‘iqadtile4’); if ( window.console typeof window.console.info === ‘function’ ) { window.console.info(‘AdController ‘ AdController.VERSION ‘ tile 4 desktop’) } } } if ( typeof AdController !== ‘undefined’ window.Zeit.isMobileView()) { if ( !document.getElementById( ‘iqadtile4’ ) ) { var elem = document.createElement( ‘div’ ); elem.id = ‘iqadtile4’; elem.className = “ad ad-mobile ad-mobile–4 ad-mobile–4-on-article”; elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-type’, ‘mobile’); document.getElementById(‘ad-mobile-4’).parentNode.appendChild(elem); AdController.render(‘iqadtile4’); if ( window.console typeof window.console.info === ‘function’ ) { window.console.info(‘AdController ‘ AdController.VERSION ‘ tile 4 mobile’) } } }

    Amper promises compositions at press of a button. If you use software that is still in beta, you only have to specify some parameters: which genre should it be (hip-hop, pop, rock, folk), what mood should derSong (sad, cheerful, excited) and how long should it be. The AI n creates a unique melody. The details about DenKlang of drum or synsizer can be adjusted and changed directly in browser Nochim detail.

    The software does not produce really complete songs. FürI am AI, Sourn took Vorschlägevon Amper as a starting point. When software had composed a beat that she liked, she adapted it and brought it into Einerichtige song structure with verse, chorus and bridge. In end came DieTexte. “In terms of instrumentation, Amper is already pretty good,” says Sourn, “but with song structure, AI still has its problems and esfehlen many more functions.” For singer, Amper offers a allemneue of possibilities for experimentation. The sequence from idea to finished song is Aberletztlich not as different as when she is sitting with a producer in studio, she says.

    The search for sounds that don’t exist yet

    Amper from New York is one of numerous start-ups, Diean interface of music production and artificial intelligence work. In London re are Jukedeck, in Berlin sits Melodrive, from San Francisco StammtHumtap, from Australia comes Popgun, and Google also maintains with magenta an internal start-up, DasKunst wants to create with Ki.

    While Jukedeck and Amper are oriented towards functioning of traditional music production, HUMTAP allows user to create songs by buzzing or drumming a melody into ir smartphone. Popgun develops an AI called Alice, which can be completed in real time with Musikernkomponieren and, for example, a piano melody. Monomagenta project tries to cross different instruments – and to enable SomitKlänge that did not exist before.
