Machine learning is a process of teaching computers to recognize patterns, with a goal of letting them learn by example rather than constantly receiving input from a programmer. Magenta, which started nearly three years ago, is an open-source research project powered by TensorFlow that explores the role of machine learning as a tool in the creative process. If it’s a new technology, people figure out how to use it in music.” “The history of the piano, essentially, went from acoustic to electric to the synthesizer, and now there are ways to play it directly from your computer. “Any time there has been a new technological development, it has made its way into music and art,” says Adam Roberts, a software engineer on the Magenta team.

Both YACHT and The Flaming Lips worked with Google engineers who say that machine learning could change the way artists create music. On the second day of I/O 2019, two bands took the stage-with a little help from machine learning.
