While mst musicians wrk with ther artists when creating their music, Hlly Herndn, an American musician and sund artist wh is nw based in Berlin, takes a different way, wrking with the machine learning sftware called Spawn. The sftware uses artificial neural(人工神经的) netwrks mdeled after the structure f the human brain. These netwrks learn patterns frm datasets during the training prcess. Based n the data, the netwrks create new material that includes Herndn's wn vice.
When prducing her album, PROTO, Hlly trained datasets t write new music. The prcess requires the input data f music written by peple r by artificial intelligence (AI). The neural netwrks then prduce variatins (变奏曲) f that music. “Cmputers surprise yu in a way that an instrument desn’t,” Hlly said. S what des music sund like when cmpsed by what is essentially a rbt? It sunds like music frm the future!
But Hlly Herndn isn't the nly ne explring AI in cmpsitin. Machines have played an increasingly imprtant rle in music ver the last century. The gdfather f cmputer science, Alan Turing, develped the first cmputer generated music in 1951. Then in 1980. David Cpe frm the University f Califrnia, Santa Cruz develped EMI—Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and prduces new pieces based n it.
AI might nt take ver the jb f the “pp star” anytime sn, r will it? Miquela Susa is a cmputer-generated artist with ver ne millin fllwers n Instagram. “I'm a mdel and singer. And I'm a rbt,” Miquela said. This then raises the questin: Can we reprduce creativity using a cmputer?
Thugh thse questins are nt easy t answer, I believe the next frntier (前沿) f music lies smewhere in between. I can see the path frward with a new dawn f creativity that cmbines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter f music will certainly becme wnderful as music and AI becme even mre clsely cnnected.
32. What plays an imprtant rle in prducing PROTO?
A. Hlly's special vice.B. The input f existing music.
C. Hlly's rich knwledge.D. The use f an instrument.
33. Why des the authr mentin the example f Miquela Susa?
A. T prmte deep thinking n AI musicians.
B. T shw the ppularity f smart rbts.
C. T explain the tasks f cmputer-generated artists.
D. T make cmparisns between human and rbtic artists.
34. What is the authr 's attitude twards music c- created by AI and humans?
A. Dubtful.B. Surprised.C. Cnfused.D. Cnfident.
35. What des the text mainly talk abut?
A. The increasing diversity f AI music.
B. The develpment f musical cmpsitin.
C. The histry f cmputer-generated music.
D. The cmbinatin f AI and musical cmpsitin.
