HS Teoh replied to John Driscoll's discussion Udio AI - Short Opera Scene in the Style of Richard Strauss
"Yes, that's what I'm trying to get at.  Like it or not (and personally I don't like it, but it's the harsh reality) the AI hype is going in the direction of replacing low-effort music productions.  How far it is along that line of development I…"

HS Teoh replied to John Driscoll's discussion Udio AI - Short Opera Scene in the Style of Richard Strauss
"The point is not about right or wrong answers to math problems. That was only an illustration to show that current generative AI is incapable of reasoning.  It's pretty good at aping the process of reasoning, but if you look at it deep enough,…"

"In the meantime, it seems that it's gradually coming up to the point where it could replace a lot of cookie-cutter work: the kind of musical filler that like bad romance novels simply recycle the same worn out plots, changing really only the names…"

HS Teoh replied to John Driscoll's discussion Udio AI - Short Opera Scene in the Style of Richard Strauss
"I remain an AI skeptic.
The technology isn't new; it has been around for decades now. The difference really is in (1) the scale of data available to train the model, thanks to the internet and social media harvesting millions of data points from…"

HS Teoh replied to Steven Linden's discussion Air from an orchestral suite
"It wouldn't, but it would introduce a new element that may draw some attention to itself.  I'm not saying it's necessarily bad; one could argue that it's actually a good thing because it can add freshness to what's otherwise a relatively static…"

HS Teoh replied to Steven Linden's discussion Air from an orchestral suite
"Wow, this is really good!  Structurally very simple, yet full of melodic beauty.
I didn't find the accompaniment boring; it's background material, as it should be, and the melodies take central stage.  You could, I suppose, add more variety to it,…"

HS Teoh replied to HS Teoh's discussion Pi: the first 52 digits
"You got lucky, I guess.
Now since I've never actually gone through any music program myself, this is all hearsay and second-hand information that may be completely inaccurate, but I've heard horror stories about music majors being belittled because…"

"I don't have a problem with learning the nuts and bolts. As you say, they are the foundations to build on, the toolbox to draw from.
My problem is with the way music is often taught these days by certain ones who have an agenda to push their…"

HS Teoh replied to HS Teoh's discussion Pi: the first 52 digits
"And I have no sense of octaves. Took me literally years to hear middle C (as opposed to other C's). Actually, I still can't identify middle C; I do not have perfect pitch, and any note could serve as the tonic "middle C" as far as my ears are…"

"Same, I'm glad my dad talked me out of a degree in music. Had I gone that route I would've been so turned off that I'd probably have given up composing altogether."

"You can't possibly out-amateur me, I've no formal music education and never passed grade 1 piano.  So whatever you come up with will probably be much more refined than I can ever hope to achieve.

"Haha, I rather consider this reducing mathematics to music, than the other way around. 😛
What about bars 5 and 10 do you find grating?

HS Teoh replied to gregrorio j's discussion Venus - for piano (5'15")
"Hooray, another Gx fugue!
This one seems calmer and contemplative than your previous modern-style fugues. The subject was a bit hard to recognize at first, but I started picking it up after listening to it in a loop.  For whatever reason this fugue…"

Today is Pi Day, so I thought I could post this old piece of mine from back in 2015. I'd posted it in the old forum, but since that's gone I thought I'd take the liberty to post it again here.There have been many clever rhymes and other mnemonics…

HS Teoh replied to Ken Lindner's discussion Sonata for Trumpet and Organ - seeking comment
"I often have my own, very specific, interpretations of my work in mind when I write them.
OTOH I always welcome different interpretations of them, even those that contradict my intentions. (When I was younger, the thought of this terrified me. Now…"
