In this week’s Creative AI podcast we discuss the rise of AI generated music and its impact on music composition and production commercially. While algorithmic approaches to music generation have been studied in academia for many decades, over the last few years a growing number of commercial startups have formed around offering “AI” assistance to composition and production. Our team unpacks some of the major issues around automated music generation and comments on the state-of-the-art.
