Ideary: Facilitating Electronic Music Creation with Generative AI
Andreas Stenbæk Larsen, Jichen Zhu · Designing Interactive Systems Conference · 2024
This project explores how generative AI can assist electronic music producers in composing rhythms and melodies. Based on detailed user research with electronic music producers, a central tension in music composition is between authorial control and unpredictability. This paper presents Ideary, a concept where users explore the latent space of their custom generative AI models through an XY pad based on extensive user research. A user evaluation shows that music producers responded positively to this approach.
