I just discovered this software the other day, it's honestly insane how good it is at generating music. I was able to get it to pump out quite a bit of vaporwave, lo-fi hip hop, and ambient tracks without much trouble: link
Obviously this isn't really that new or surprising, this has been coming for a while, but I'm blown away at how good it is at what it does.
Anybody here have any thoughts on what this means for music and music listeners? Seems like it could be good for music in the sense that this will push artists to be less formulaic and more experimental or adventurous in their creativity, but it could hurt the bottom line for a lot of musicians for hire and help contribute to the corporate-approved nature of pop culture.
Pretty soon, we'll have tools like this integrated inside DAWs, so you could easily incorporate this into your workflow sometime soon. Some of the songs I prompted under the IDM tag were pretty interesting, and I may build upon them as an experiment to hear how that turns out. So, while this will cause a lot of problems, I think real artists are going to use these tools in truly exciting ways. Do you think that would take away from your enjoyment of the piece at that point?
