About the TEAM
As two dedicated colleagues with a shared passion for our subject, we are collaborating on a project central to our coursework. Our close academic bond enhances our synergy, allowing us to combine our strengths effectively. Together, we strive to excel in our studies and project work, leveraging our mutual support and shared knowledge. This partnership embodies our commitment to academic success and personal growth. With a shared vision and a harmonious blend of skills, we are confident in achieving great results and making the most of our educational journey together.
About the SONG
One of our primary goals with this track was to test the limits of AI for creating a magical instrumental song. Even though we don't know much about music theory and composition, we thought we'd give it a shot with the help of AI. We figured that AI could help us overcome our limitations. Our song doesn't have any lyrics, but we think it still says a lot through its melody and composition. The melodies and arrangements are designed to make you feel all the feels and transport you to another world. You can even make your own meaning out of it. We hope you enjoy the instrumental track and that it takes you on an unforgettable journey that words just can't describe.
About the HUMAN-AI PROCESS
When we were creating our song, we got some help from a couple of AI tools - Google Magenta and ChatGPT. Magenta gave us the melody to start with, while ChatGPT suggested some beautiful chords that went well with it. It was a great combination of human creativity and AI assistance, and it really set the tone for the rest of our composition.
To produce, mix, and master the song, we used Ableton - a versatile software that gave us all the tools we needed to arrange and refine our music. We worked on the song for a while, tweaking it here and there until we got it just right. The AI tools helped a lot, too - they gave us some fresh ideas and insights that really made the song stand out.
Overall, we're really proud of what we created together. It just goes to show how AI can help anyone, even those without technical backgrounds, to bring their creative visions to life. The song we made is both accessible and emotionally captivating, and we couldn't have done it without the power of human creativity and technology working together.
