He invited many musicians to join in the composition and production of the songs: Behind SKYGGE is Benoit Carré, a French pop artist.
This album was composed by the artist SKYGGE, including collaborations with several artists. These are the first words that AI utters in mainstream music. The album’s title, Hello World, is a reminiscence of the first program a beginner writes, when learning a new programming language.
Most importantly, music that the artists wanted to make! Melodic twists, harmonic surprises, and timbral juxtapositions, with a strong sense of direction and the uncompromising goal of making really good music, music that can touch and challenge the fan base of the artists. With this diversity of skills, we had a single objective: use these new technologies to create novel, interesting music, yet music that would please our ears. 15 songs were created by artists using Flow Machines: composers, singers, musicians, producers, and sound engineers, in many musical genres (pop, electronic, ambient, and jazz). At some point, under the artistic direction of SKYGGE, the artists took control, and the scientific project became a music project. Shadow) that would become the theme of this album. In 2016, we launched a song in the style of The Beatles, Daddy’s Car, as well as a less conventional title ( Mr. The novelty and huge potential of the approach triggered the attention of a few talented musicians who joined the team. Some prototypes were built with rudimentary interfaces (and a lot of bugs). Many scientific and technical results were obtained. Hello World started as a research project (the Flow Machines project) in which scientists were looking for algorithms to capture and reproduce the concept of musical “style”. Its goal is to show that AI can be used to create new, compelling music, generating fresh musical material of all sorts: melodies, harmonies, timbre, rhythms and the like. Hello World is the first album composed by an artist – SKYGGE – with artificial intelligence. Once you listen to them a couple of times, they stay in your head! All the songs in this album have a special character that makes them uniquely singular! Additionally, for unknown reasons (perhaps due to an optimal exchange between stylistic consistency and innovation produced during the AI generations) most of these songs are earworms. The goal of this album was to come up with fresh material melody-wise, harmony-wise and timbre-wise, yet material that would make sense with respect to the styles chosen by the artists. The system generates scores and audio stems that are most often musically relevant, sometimes compelling. There is no recipe for a good song, fortunately! This process can be very quick (1 hour) or slow (a few days) depending on the specific cases. Users can go back and forth between the generation of scores and the generation of audio renderings using an interactive interface, until they get a result they are satisfied with. Then they select a set of audio recordings that determine the sound textures of the audio stems generated by Flow Machines. These scores determine the style of the scores generated by Flow Machines. In a typical session with Flow Machines, users first select a set of scores (lead sheets) that they want to take inspiration from. The AI used in this album, Flow Machines, is a set of online tools. Since, huge progress has been made in AI technologies, including in machine-learning, combinatorial optimization, statistical inference, and related areas. In 1958, AI was used to compose Bach-like chorales (the Illiac suite). Hello World is the first music album composed with the help of an AI technology, and it is the result of a long adventure.
