It is so difficult to create something that has never existed. So people say it is the pain of creation, but even this saying seems like it's going to change.

It is so difficult to create something that has never existed. So people say it is the pain of creation, but even this saying seems like it's going to change. Artificial intelligence also creates.

Now, the machine plays the drums and performs on the piano to match a person's performance.

This piece was also composed by artificial intelligence based on the unique rhythm and structure of Korean traditional music.

“It has been trained on various genres, styles, etc. By applying the processes that composers go through when creating…”

Artificial intelligence can also select songs that suit a location and situation.

Soon, we will be able to do ensemble performances to perform in ensemble with artificial intelligence.

“If I play a guitar, it analyzes the rhythm instantly and creates a melody that corresponds to that rhythm, or something like that…”

Google is refining technology that allows artificial intelligence to create new music by analyzing data from 300,000 sounds and over a thousand instruments through self-learning.

A service has also appeared where the AI creates music in one minute according to genre, mood, or length selected directly.

The music created this way is mainly used in games or for meditation.

It is still evolving by constantly learning from human music.
