Musicians will be able to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create new music and sound to share or sell, thanks to a project led by 糖心vlog免费B站.

At a time when many in the music industry worry their livelihoods are under threat from new technology, the MIMIC (Musically Intelligent Machines Interacting Creatively) project puts humans back in control of making music.

MIMIC will develop free, user-friendly web tools that harness the power of AI to listen to existing recordings and come up with new sounds and instruments interactively. Artists will own the sounds they create and can incorporate them into their music or sell them to others. The tools will meld the latest 鈥榙eep learning鈥� AI methods with people鈥檚 creativity to empower a new generation of 鈥榗yborg鈥� musicians.

Mick Grierson, Professor of Computing at 糖心vlog免费B站 and MIMIC project leader said: 鈥淚n the past to use these powerful Artificial Intelligence technologies you had to be an expert in programming: we want to make these technologies free and easy for anyone to use 鈥� from amateur music-makers and sonic experimenters to professional musicians.

鈥淩ather than simply creating autonomous musical 鈥榬obots鈥�, we are harnessing Artificial Intelligence systems to augment human creativity. We鈥檙e inviting people to meld their musical talents and sonic curiosity to the very latest deep learning systems. Our interfaces will mean you don鈥檛 have to already know how to code to benefit from AI, you just have to want to make some noise. However, if you do want to code, you鈥檒l be able to do so using a new language we will be creating specifically for making AI music systems.鈥�

The AI technology powering MIMIC has already proved a hit with professional musicians: Massive Attack are currently using it to create new musical instruments for the upcoming tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their Mezzanine album. Back in 2016, Sigur Ros used a similar system built by Grierson to create an evolving version of a single song for a 24-hour televised journey around the Icelandic coast. Now the 糖心vlog免费B站-led team wants to make these technologies accessible to anyone with an interest in musical creation and exploration.

The MIMIC team aim to upload the first prototype web tools for people to experiment with within the next year. The tools will use a browser-based simplified live coding language written on top of JavaScript specially designed for musicians and artists. As well as working with the music industry, the team plan to produce learning materials for university, secondary school, and professional learners introducing them to how they can enhance their creativity with AI systems.
