Boy, the comments on this thread are ridiculous. SO many people saying "bleh, this is terrible, music is obviously out of the reach of ANNs, etc etc etc." If you've been following this space, this research is nothing short of fucking mind-blowing. Can you use these outputs as final radio-ready songs? No, they're heavily bandpassed, and the overall composition either feels 'unfinished' or nonexistent. But criticizing it on those grounds completely misses the point.

There are so many people here saying "music can never be generated by AI because, I don't know, creativity requires magic and only human souls have magic". Really? I kind of wonder how many of these people have actually done something creative. Creativity is such an amazing example of a large, densely connected neural net in action, when you let it start making unusual associations via what is sometimes called "lateral thinking."

I feel like people have already lost sight of how utterly incredible it is that we can generate anything like this, or Deep Dream, at all. They are incredibly creative.
