My 11th Ambient music video release for YT. An unofficial Soundtrack to the Sci Fi movie ‘2010: The Year we Make Contact’ (starring Roy Scheider & Helen Mirren). The movie was based on the Arthur C. Clarke novel, which was the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey. I went alot more in depth with the visuals on this one, recreating shots from the original movie, but with an extra dash of VFX that weren’t easy to pull off on a PC in 1986.

In upcoming video releases I will be doing a deep dive into the ambient multiverse, exploring various styles from Space Ambient to Dark Ambient to Cyberpunk to Sleep music to White Noise. My focus on this channel is to create relaxing cinematic ambient background music for chilling, focus, work and meditation. With the occasional eerie dark ambient tracks. The theme for my video backdrops is a rich fusion of derelict imagery, planets and moons.

Music so readily transports us from the present to the past, or from what is actual to what is possible.

In addition to queueing up songs, it will provide insightful commentary too.

Music streaming service Spotify is the latest tech company to launch an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered product. Dubbed DJ, the service was launched for users in the U.S. and Canada on Wednesday, a company press release said.

Human beings are capable of processing several sound sources at once, both in terms of musical composition or synthesis and analysis, i.e., source separation. In other words, human brains can separate individual sound sources from a mixture and vice versa, i.e., synthesize several sound sources to form a coherent combination. When it comes to mathematically expressing this knowledge, researchers use the joint probability density of sources. For instance, musical mixtures have a context such that the joint probability density of sources does not factorize into the product of individual sources.

A deep learning model that can synthesize many sources into a coherent mixture and separate the individual sources from a mixture does not exist currently. When it comes to musical composition or generation tasks, models directly learn the distribution over the mixtures, offering accurate modeling of the mixture but losing all knowledge of the individual sources. Models for source separation, in contrast, learn a single model for each source distribution and condition on the mixture at inference time. Thus, all the crucial details regarding the interdependence of the sources are lost. It is difficult to generate mixtures in either scenario.

Taking a step towards building a deep learning model that is capable of performing both source separation and music generation, researchers from the GLADIA Research Lab, University of Rome, have developed Multi-Source Diffusion Model (MSDM). The model is trained using the joint probability density of sources sharing a context, referred to as the prior distribution. The generation task is carried out by sampling using the prior, whereas the separation task is carried out by conditioning the prior distribution on the mixture and then sampling from the resulting posterior distribution. This approach is a significant first step towards universal audio models because it is a first-of-its-kind model that is capable of performing both generation and separation tasks.

Google has trained an artificial intelligence, named SingSong, that can generate a musical backing track to accompany people’s recorded singing.

To develop it, Jesse Engel and his colleagues at Google Research used an algorithm to separate the instrumental and vocal parts from 46,000 hours of music and then fine-tuned an existing AI model – also created by Google Research, but for generating speech and piano music – on those pairs of recordings.
