Maybe it’s not a genius composer, but a genius computer
ㆍSouth Korea-based startup ‘Pozalabs’ has AI composers that can create background music of your choice in just 5 minutes.
ㆍNo worries about copyright, it’s all theirs!
ㆍLet’s have a discussion on whether AI will eventually replace human composers.
“Is the composer of this music a human or an AI?”
The answer is Pozalabs’ AI composer. It is capable of reading scripts, extracting code, and creating songs to match the tone and mood of the content. So far, more than 3,500 of its songs have been used in Korea dramas, movies, games, and other productions. The reason it has been able to create such an impressive amount of music is because it only takes 5 minutes to use Pozalabs’ AI composition program. This means that there’s no need to hire a music director and record with a full orchestra to create a movie score. Also, there’s no need to wait for copyright clearance to find music for YouTube videos. Pozalabs launched ‘VIODIO’, a subscription service for AI background music, to reduce the production costs and time-consuming work involved in background music.
Create original music
If you’re looking to create a funky, upbeat, disco-inspired soundtrack, then Pozalabs might be the perfect solution for you. Using their AI-powered music composition tool, you can choose a genre, mood, and video theme, and download the AI-generated music without any concerns about copyright infringement. Pozalabs’ AI composers have spent 6 years building their own music dataset, which means that their songs are completely original and free from any copyright or plagiarism allegations. They don’t rely on any external sources and only create music from their own database, which ensures that they are free from any copyright issues. The AI-generated background music is copyrighted under the joint names of Pozalabs and the composer. Pozalabs is the distributor and seller of the music.
Secrets of a composer genius
Pozalabs has developed an AI composer that is faster than humans and can produce a large amount of music in a short time. Humans spend weeks creating music, whereas AI can do it in just a matter of minutes. The remarkable thing is that the music created by the AI does not overlap with any existing music. The AI has been trained on over 630,000 human-composed songs, which includes data created by real human composers at Pozalabs. Here is how Pozalabs’ AI composers are outperforming human composers.
1. They gather music data that is required for training our AI. they then carefully inspect it to ensure that it is free from any copyright issues. By training our AI model on music data created by human composers, they can avoid any such controversies.
2. We need to teach our AI some rules in order to enable it to play music. For this, they use deep learning natural language processing (NLP) techniques. This allows the AI to convert the rules of each note and score into a language that it can understand, such as the rules of harmony and composition.
3. Different genres and moods require different compositional conventions. To enable our AI to compose music across all genres, Pozalabs have codified various features such as jazz chord progressions, instrumental and track-specific features, and other conventions in the data.
4. They automate the composition process, which includes arranging, mixing, mastering, and sound rendering. By training our AI on about 500,000 pieces of data, they can improve the quality of the music it produces.
Pozalabs has a unique competitive advantage in its self-generated ‘Combinatorial music generation‘ technology. This technology allows them to generate and combine thousands of music samples, creating a completely new genre that is unlike any existing songs in the world. Their innovation was recognized in September 2023 by NeurlPS, the world‘s top artificial intelligence conference, where a paper was published about their technology.
The end of composer as a profession?
Pozalabs’ answer is ‘No‘. ”Our goal is not to replace human composers with AI, but rather to facilitate a collaborative process in which humans and AI work together to improve and enhance the creativity of music composition,” says Wongil Heo, CEO of Pozalabs. In the same way that smartphone cameras have turned many people into creators, the goal is to democratize the process of songwriting by making it accessible to everyone through the use of AI. In February 2023, Pozalabs collaborated with Yoon Han, a pianist, to create a sleep music album. Sleep music is a genre that involves complex rules for composition, tempo, and other factors. Pozalabs‘ AI engine learned Han‘s algorithm for composing sleep music and produced high-quality sleep music through thorough calculations.
Imagine a future where AI-generated music not only improves human health but also helps in the growth of plants and animals. For instance, a farmer running a smart farm could request the AI to play music that increases the chlorophyll content of their plants. It is believed that when music is played to a plant, sound waves create an electrical current in the plant’s body, indicating that the plant is reacting to the music. With IoT devices, it would be easy to play the day’s background music and monitor the health of the plants. Additionally, pet owners could order AI-generated music to be played in different moods, such as when their pet needs a treat or when it’s time for a walk, to enhance their pet’s cognitive abilities while interacting with them.
AI composers are here to stay. You’ll have your own personalized music playing in your home while in the metaverse, during self-driving car rides, and even when sharing your Instagram feed. That day is not far off. Music is my life!
