Surely Rickenbacker and Gibson didn’t have Jimi Hendrix or St.

“Daguerre and later Eastman didn’t imagine what Annie Liebovitz or Richard Avalon would accomplish in photography. “We don’t know what artists and musicians will do with these new tools, but we’re excited to find out,” states Douglas. Explaining on the Project Magenta site, project leader Douglas Eck explains that it could be use to aid learners or as a performance tool to play with or alongside. Plus, Google Brain Team reckon the AI is for musicians, rather than taking your jobs. Producers: don’t pack up your DAWs quite yet, Magenta is still very much in its infancy. We’re unsure of Magenta added the breakbeats itself. It was given four notes, this is what it came back with. In the case of Project Magenta, the hundreds of examples it’s fed are musical compositions… As it understands the rules and structure of music it will then come up with its own composition.īrain Team have already revealed Magenta’s debut release. So, just as we’d revise or read or digest information in order to learn, the network is exposed to hundreds of examples of what it is meant to produce, then able to predict or create its own next step in the sequence. The end result is “neural” computer network that aims to loosely mimic the functionality of the human brain.
Project magenta all software#
Revealed late last month at Moogfest, a music/art/technology festival in North Carolina, then officially announced earlier this month, Project Magenta uses machine learning to analyse how software interprets the data that its fed to develop its own version through analysis and reproduction. But it is a mad, slightly scary and really interesting project launched by Google’s Brain Team (who’ve developed applications, algorithms and software for things like Deep Dream, Translate and various image recognition programs) If Google’s Project Magenta takes off, perhaps our future favourite beats will be?

We’ve heard it from our electronic music hating friends many times before… ‘Ah it’s all just soulless computer music anyway’
