Since last year, I have been playing around and experimenting with the emergence of AI tools that create music (see earlier posts). Some of it has been interesting. Most have been pretty bland. As someone who makes music, but who keeps an open mind about technology, I’ve been trying to keep tabs on things (as […]

Collaborating With AI (Iteration One – Writing A Music Poem)
Ghost in the Machine flickr photo by Simon_68025 shared into the public domain using Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication (CC0) Terry Elliott was exploring the Perplexity AI platform as a “writing partner” for poetry and it responded to a question of his about its own limitations in a way that caught my attention. “Poetry is […]
Google’s New AI Tool: MusicFX
I have long been interested (sometimes, alarmed) by how some of the new machine learning/AI tools might impact the making of music. Mostly, I have not been all that impressed (good thing for human music composers, right?) but I also know that the technology is only getting better. (See some earlier posts) The results have […]
In The Test Kitchen With AI (MusicLM)
I got invited into the AI Test Kitchen by Google to begin beta testing out some early versions of their AI apps. The only one I saw available to me at this point in time was MusicLM, which was fine since I am curious about how text might be transformed into music by AI. […]
Exploring Aspects Of AI Music Generation
This post is really just an attempt of mine to gather together some of the explorations I have been doing to see what progress is being made with AI technology and the making of music and sound. It’s all pretty strange worlds out there right now. Some sites are starting to use inputted text from […]
Rusty, The Rock And Roll Robot: From AI Art to AI Story with AI Music
Maybe I went a little overboard here but I was curious about what would happen if I merged the output of a variety of different AI-infused sites to create an AI story from an AI image with a computer-generated narrator voice backed with an AI soundtrack. The result was a tale about Rusty the Guitar-playing, […]
Making A Music-Braided Knot: AI and Us
For a DS106 Daily Create the other day, which I had submitted, participants were encouraged to use an automated music making site called Computoser. It allows you to set some algorithmic parameters and then kicks out a short “song” for you. I find it rather interesting but also a bit constrained. So, after making my […]
Slice of Life: Making Music Again
(This is for the Slice of Life challenge, hosted by Two Writing Teachers. We write on Tuesdays about the small moments in the larger perspective … You write, too.) My band, minus a permanent lead singer (we’re in the process of auditioning some new folks), played out live for the first time the other day at a […]
Turning Text into Music (A Small AI Experiment)
careful now flickr photo by fibreman shared into the public domain using Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication (CC0) I was curious the other week about whether I might find any online AI-powered sites that take text and turn those words into music. Honestly, I didn’t think my search would be all that successful. But it […]
Music from the Pandemic: I Ain’t Moving (From This Easy Chair)
Along with teaching, reading, parenting and all that, I’ve been making time to play guitar and fiddle with sound loops, making music. I’m going to share some of it out now and then. This three-chord bluesy song – I Ain’t Moving (From My Easy Chair) — is no doubt inspired from some listening to John […]
