David replied to John Driscoll's discussion Udio AI - Short Opera Scene in the Style of Richard Strauss
"on the other other hand, although this has little to do with the intended composer, this is something of a masterpiece of poetry if nothing else.

"on the other hand, it clearly hasn't the slightest idea about Janacek even though he obviously in their database. When I asked for a potted version of the "Cunning Little Vixen" it replied with something which sounded a bit like Handel.....

David replied to John Driscoll's discussion Udio AI - Short Opera Scene in the Style of Richard Strauss
"yes, the ending did remind me of Rosenkavalier -- at any rate it definitely seems quite Straussian. I've never regarded Wagner as a close cousin so won't comment there. But if this software -- supposedly programmed by some of the same team that…"

John Driscoll replied to John Driscoll's discussion Udio AI - Short Opera Scene in the Style of Richard Strauss
"My only input was text: "soprano aria in the style of Richard Strauss" and the specific lyrics. In a typically odd AI manner, it outputted a duet (0:33 to 1:06)! I then asked for an instrumental intro (it added 0:00 to 0.33), an extension of the…"

"I must echo Kris's question -- I don't understand what exactly you needed to input here yourself to give this fascinating result!
I think there is nevertheless some difference between chess and music. And I've been for a long time interested in…"

Hi there wonderful people,I am conducting a questionnaire for my dissertation on the topic of instrumentation and orchestration in composition and I am hoping to find people to take part in my survey who compose/produce music for film/TV. If that’s…

Rowy replied to John Driscoll's discussion Udio AI - Short Opera Scene in the Style of Richard Strauss
"I'll copy my reply from VI-Control:
Udio is currently indeed better than most AI music generators. However, it is not a threat to composers who can compose at an advanced level. I have a good idea of what will happen and I am already preparing for…"

Kristofer Emerig replied to John Driscoll's discussion Udio AI - Short Opera Scene in the Style of Richard Strauss
"This is fascinating; how much, if any, musical direction or input did you provide?
I've contended for some time that AI will eventually render all of us artistically obsolete. Thousands upon thousands of examples of superior art, created by great…"

I've spent the past 24 hours being quite astonished at Udio, which I already consider vastly superior to any AI music generator I have heard to date.To be clear: I share this for the purposes of awareness and conversation, not endorsement.The lyrics…

Kristofer Emerig replied to Ivor's discussion Is a score submission appreciated or even necessary
"For those who play an instrument, the ratio of time lost creating a viable score is even much more severe. A musical score is essentially an abstract set of instructions, a blueprint, meant to prescribe, with varying layers of granular precision,…"

Mike Hewer replied to Ivor's discussion Is a score submission appreciated or even necessary
"I can sympathise with your issues Ivor. The process from writing music to mock-up has always been a time consuming pain in the butt. I've taken out a part of the process by using Sibelius with a digital pen and piano keyboard input which has become…"

Rowy replied to Ivor's discussion Is a score submission appreciated or even necessary
"I hardly ever bother to have a look at the score. If the music sounds good, it is good. I make a lot of scores myself, but that's because I write for keyboard players. I don't know what I would do with orchestral music. It's a lot of work."

  • Indeed, it has been solved. Thanks for the prompt response!
  • HS, I believe I've isolated the HTML issue mentioned, and I believe it's now resolved. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
  • Thanks HS. I'll investigate the matter.
  • Hmm, interesting. I just noticed that replies under the Discussion Forum do allow full HTML capabilities, but replies under Analysis & Critique don't. Maybe this is a section-specific setting that needs to be toggled?
  • It's been a while since somebody wrote something here. So I thought I'd bring up this request to allow links and attachments in comments, not just in posts. It would make it easier to have in-depth discussions without needing to create a new thread every time somebody wants to attach something to illustrate their ideas.
  • ok - that sounds like a good setting so will be interesting to see what the explanation (if any) is.
  • David, puzzling, because the site's settings at present bar members who aren't "friended" from sending private messages. I'll look into it.
  • As newest member Erica Woodward sent a message to at least one member wanting to urgently discuss something privately, it is to suspected that we have another spammer. If I remember correctly, on the old forum, prospective members had to submit a couple of sentences (which weren't posted publicly) explaining why they wanted to join the forum. I suspect spambots and others who are not serious about contributing would fall at this hurdle and I suggest something like this for possible consideration by the membership.
  • It seems the consensus was reaching a crescendo, so I had to dust off the Gold Codes:)
  • Anyone else having issues posting links/embeds in replies? I can't for the life of me get them to work in responding to Rowy's Halloween thread... I just get an error message each time. Seems to work ok posting a new thread?
