"Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become part of our digital lives; our social
media accounts, our messaging services and now our search engines.
But computers have been composing music for decades.
Computer assisted composition has been around since the 1970s, spearheaded by
influential musicians such as Pierre Boulez, one of the early leaders in the
electronic music field.
In the internet's early days Brian Eno, who helped define the music of Talking
Heads, David Bowie and U2, was sharing composition algorithms he used to
produce ambient music.
Eno created his album
Music For Airports primarily using algorithms.
From Darkness, Light was an AI-composed album released in 2009. The project
was the brain child of AI pioneer Emeritus Professor David Cope from the
University of California Santa Cruz.
The software used to compose the album produced musical pieces based on data
derived from the compositions of classical music greats including Bach,
Beethoven and Mahler.
But in November 2022, the introduction of ChatGPT changed everything.
Suddenly, generating music with AI has become more widely accessible. This has
brought with it many challenges for human composers, threatening livelihoods
and hard-won improvements in diversity in the music industry."
