Tech Connect – Engaging Music

Using a range of AI-based musical composition software from GitHub, such as ‘Beact’ and ‘Magento Lo-Fi Player’, the Tech Connect group, led by Amaanat Rekhi (9N2) have been learning some less conventional ways of engaging with music including a ‘Google Doodle’, which allows users to experiment with variations on a theme, inspired by Bach’s music. Students also listened to AI-assisted attempts to create tracks in the style of The Beatles and Metallica, to see how authentic AI can be in creative tasks of this nature.
