This is MusicLM, Google’s AI that creates songs from text

The artificial intelligences they will give a lot to talk about in this 2023. Since the end of last year and the beginning of this year, there have been a lot of amazing AI news that creates images or videos from text, one that you can talk to and even one that can imitate any voice.

Now, Google (which had already presented its own artificial intelligence to create images and videos from text) has just announced one that may represent the beginning of a new era in the music industry. That’s right, those from Mountain View have presented MusicLM, an AI capable of creating original music from text. Here are some examples of what this artificial intelligence can do.

MusicLM: Google’s artificial intelligence that converts texts into music

MusicLM is the new Google tool that through artificial intelligence can convert texts into original songs. To do this, the AI ​​uses a hierarchical model from sequence to sequence that generates audio at 24 kHz for several minutes.

The best of all? Well, it is very easy to use, you just have to write a textual description like “a violin melody with a distorted guitar solo» and in a matter of minutes MusicLM will create the song. Here below we leave you some examples presented by Google on his blog:

• “Slow tempo reggae song with bass, drums, sustained electric guitar, and high-pitched bongos with ringtones. The vocals are relaxed with a very expressive feel.” — Audio generated:

• “The main soundtrack of an arcade game. Upbeat and upbeat, with a catchy electric guitar riff. Repetitive, easy-to-remember music, but with unexpected sounds, like cymbal crashes or drum rolls» — Audio generated:

Finally, it should be mentioned that, according to Google, this AI can also generate music based on textual descriptions of emotions, sensations, paintings and is even capable of taking pre-existing songs and transforming them into hums or whistled melodies. Also, users will be able to tell a story to MusicLM so that the AI ​​generates adapted music to this, which can be very useful for the composition of soundtracks for series, movies and even games.

And you… Do you think this AI will positively impact the world of music?
