New Beatles song created using AI.....Pink Floyd "Music" Created With AI?

MrFender keep those thoughts squarely within your brain! Aaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhh....

That's not at all what is being done with the Beatles song. Even the excerpt you posted doesn't say that.

*Artificial intelligence has been used to extract John Lennon's voice from an old demo to create a new Beatles song, Paul McCartney said Tuesday.*
Paul clearly stated it is a new Beatles song, true on not he clearly stated it is new.
It would be interesting to hear Yoko, Julian, and Sean's take on a new release/mix of John's voice, Yoko has been very protective of John's music..

Using AI to extract JL's voice and then taking said extracted voice and putting that into a song is completely different than saying they used AI to create a brand new song. "Hey Google, extract JL's voice and lyrics" vs "Hey Google, compose a song that sounds like the Beatles." We are likely talking semantics here but the original post said it seems it won't be long before AI creates new PF music. AI did not write a new Beatles song, it stripped the vocals out of a demo so Macca could use them.

It is a new song, which uses AI to extract vocals from a poor quality mono cassette with a piano and a TV. THE AI DOES NOT MEAN THIS IS A NEW SONG CREATED FROM OR WITH AI. IT USES AI FOR ONE ASPECT.

It's not a new Beatles song. It's an old John Lennon song recorded to a cassette. They extracted his voice from the cassette and The Beatles re-recorded all new instrumentation to accompany Lennon's voice. That's all. It's the same thing that was done with "Free As A Bird" but they are now able to remove the piano. Yoko gave them the song and Sean has commented that he is tired of people asking him what he thinks about it because they don't have the slightest understanding of what is being done. Case in point.

I'm wondering if AI could be used to 'repair' some audience recordings? Add a bit of a stereo image? Train a machine learning algorithm on the 1970/71 BBC recordings, Pompeii etc, then set it to work on a sludgy mono recording.

Imaging lifting the tape saturation and azimuth alignment artefacts from the 1969 Manchester Free Trade Hall recording, for example.

It has absolutely been done and continues to be done as the technology improves. Pink Floyd's BBC Sessions were improved by Prof Stoned this way but in mono and it can be found on this site. There are also stereo remixes of The Beatles "Star Club" tapes and many other things. It's sometimes referred to as "de-mixing". A version of this technology has been trademarked by Peter Jackson/The Beatles and they are using it on everything now so they can rake in people's hard-earned money.

Pink Floyd "Music" Created With Or (better) By AI?

Found some new stuff, just have a listen here ...

[swanlee]

I think if you take a step back on some of these and just treat them as an interesting thought experiment and a nice piece of tech that can give us items that would not otherwise exist more people will be more open to these.

Floyphile's links is really interesting,

Also look at this

https://openai.com/index/sora/

Imagine feeding Sora AI all the early floyd songs from the piper era and the 67 BBC sessions etc, all the lyrics from the era and having this AI create a full length UFO concert with Syd Era floyd that was never recorded. You could also feed it known UFO setlists at the time and AI could make educated guesses as to some of the unknown improv songs they played and use articles descripting the concerts for AI to visually try and recreate them.

With pictures and setlists you could really get close with Sora creating the Games for May show that was never recorded.

Yes it is not a real event the AI is creating but it is certainly closer then we could ever get to seeing things like the Games for May show as it was not recorded in any way shape or form

[marksturdy]

Personally, no matter how good the AI gets I'm not interested in listening to a machine's approximation of something that didn't happen. Using the technology to get the best out of bad recordings (as with the Beatles track and ProfStoned's work, amongst others) is one thing, but surely there's a line to be crossed where it just becomes forgery by another name.

Couldn't get this link to get to the album ... used this one instead https://youtu.be/zCFGOBzxfYM?si=vb0fWEMT1p05J73Y

I don't know about anyone else but I think that this is a brilliant facsimile ...

Here is another one. Grab it before it disappears.

I’m very excited for AI’s potential to make RoIOs sound superb - remembering that its current ability are the worse than it will ever be as it just keeps improving - but christ some of the purely AI generated ‘music’ gives me the creeps!

I know that it's wrong but I think it is likely to be better than anything on the forthcoming album.

Some may say that it is blasphemy, but I believe that serious musicians will soon use Ai as a tool to generate ideas for new songs. Similar as Gilmour did when he used a french railway jingle as a starting point for 'Rattle That Lock' ...
