AI Drumming: American Food

posted December 17, 2018 #

James Dennis is a man of many interests - his Twitter is full of historical political takes, startup culture and programming insights. He also happens to be a musician with a number of curious projects. One of his latest endeavors is using an AI Drummer to play along his tracks. Here's the one song he's shared with the robo drummer:
To be clear, there's still a bit of copy / paste involved with the drumming but, all and all, it sounds pretty damn good. He's also posted a reworked version of "'Take on Me' as a Fugazi song" (as he puts it) that's damn entertaining.

There's been examples of AI Generated Music to float around in the past but I haven't seen many examples of using AI to augment the recording process; it's generally one or the other.

Will be keeping an eye on his feed for more examples. Interest is fully piqued.
