Assisted music creation with Flow Machines: towards new categories of new

Sound 2021-01-05 v3 Machine Learning Audio and Speech Processing

Abstract

This chapter reflects on about 10 years of research in AI- assisted music composition, in particular during the Flow Machines project. We reflect on the motivations for such a project, its background, its main results and impact, both technological and musical, several years after its completion. We conclude with a proposal for new categories of new, created by the many uses of AI techniques to generate novel material.
