  • To simulate a jazz legend of a different instrument, Buddy Rich: It sounds like shit. Fuck you.
  • this is cool don't listen to the haters. wonder if you can embed the chords / context somehow so it can play with real music?
  • "One X, Twelve Y"

    If you don't care enough to write it, I don't care enough to read it. Will be checking out the Hyman book though.

  • That “transcription” using piano roll (but without even showing the actual keys on the side, and without bar lines) is impossible to follow and doesn’t make sense for jazz, where chromaticism, key changes and syncopation are so common. I see a note and then another note that looks a little higher, are they a major third apart? Or maybe it’s a minor third? Was the first note a pickup? Or is it on the one? No way to know
  • The Oscar Peterson one does seem to mostly understand that he had less mobility in one of his hands after the stroke but it uh... doesn't really get much else right.
  • This is amazing. I like very much that the approach is using symbolic music information instead of audio. It might help to better understand music some day (i.e. "really understand", not the helper projections the traditional music science works with). It's also interesting to notice the slight time jitter, likely due to the more discrete and limited "information density", or possibly round-off errors due to limited resolution of the weights. Maybe the paper answers it.
  • please don't do this kind of thing! go cure cancer or something.
  • Reading about the book that inspired this, written by an artist who closely studied the styles of others— that’s impressive.

    Reading an AI-generated site about some AI model that shits out some fake Bill Evans on command—that’s not. Any moron with enough tokens can do it. Congratulations.
