MusicLM: Google’s music-generating AI
Google recently unveiled MusicLM, an artificial intelligence (AI) model capable of generating music from simple text prompts. MusicLM is the result of a project to create an AI capable of generating consistent and varied songs. The model has been trained with over 280,000 hours of music. How does MusicLM work? MusicLM is an AI model that works through machine learning. Specifically, it trains itself by analyzing a large amount of relevant data. It then generates different instrument sounds, musical styles and levels of complexity. It can also integrate human voices to add lyrics to a melody. This AI is capable of creating music up to 5 minutes long while maintaining consistency over time. The model was trained on a music database consisting of 280,000 hours of music available on the Free Music Archive platform. The engineers also set up a set of 5500 music tracks associated with textual descriptions made…
