Musik-Automat
Musik-Automat – With AI in a musical question-and-answer game
Project leader: Prof. Jörn Arnecke, Centre of Music Theory
Programmer: Alex James Vaughan
Employee: Sebastian Oliver Eck, Pia Steuck
Funding: "Fellowship for Innovation in University Teaching" from the Stifterverband
Project idea
Musicians are encouraged to create ideas in a musical question-and-answer game - in some ways comparable to the ChatGPT format, but specially developed for musical material. The music automaton playfully addresses two core areas of teaching and makes them creatively usable: the invention of musical approaches and the development of existing ideas.
Project goal
... is the exploration of new methods for music data processing with neural networks and the creation of a powerful, interesting and educational app: it is implemented in a web browser and enables users to interactively enter notes and compose "live", allowing them to have a dialog with the machine - almost like a game in which man and machine can start, continue and finish each other's musical sentences.
