I made an AI listen to 5000 hours of viking metal to see what lyrics it would come up with.

Then I learned how to growl.

Finally I made a song, and a video.

Here you go, the world's first ever viking metal song with AI-lyrics:

This is the coolest thing I've seen or heard in a long time. super congrats on putting this together. I didn't realize you were such an adept code wizard!! Not to mention that your growls are sheer BRUTZ and very bone crushing indeed. It's a very creative use of AI imho. just to share the project, here is the link!!

*HAVE AN AI MAKE SONG LYRICS FOR YOU TOO!!!

Here are the full lyrics to the song. Pretty convincing ! Also, I really dig the music. Sounds like Amon Amarth among others. Great work!

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

Coding is my job, so it was a lot harder to learn how to growl than to train a machine learning model :-D

Nice!
Working on aggressive vocals is one of my 2022 goals

Funnily enough I've just started playing with AI to see if it will help with lyrics, I have lines and choruses that need tweaking or the rest of the lyrics finishing, and I keep coming up blank.

Cool, these video listed in this post helped me a lot: https://www.osirisguitar.com/learn-how-to-growl/



Yeah, lyrics are SO hard. I've never been able to finish any serious lyrics. So this project helped me a lot, doing a kind of novelty project let me get past a lot of stage fright issues with growling. With the new version of my lyrics AI I actually think some of the stuff it generates are pretty poetic and might help me with inspiration.

Watch out for a lyrics tips thread soon I've got some tips and tricks.

Very cool idea, and cool track!

I am also very interested in seeing how AI can help with music and web development (and perhaps destroy the world 🥶)

So far I would say that good old regular programming makes better songs than AI. This is crazy impressive:

Yup, I shared this a while back too. Very impressive

If AI takes over and destroys the world, at least we'll go out with a banging soundtrack!

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 8 2022, 12:24 PM

Yeah that one is very cool indeed! Do you have any examples of other genres where computers have done some musical stuff?

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jan 8 2022, 01:27 PM

Not sure if this is real or not, Kris, but you can have a look at least:

Sounds beautiful to me!

Symphonic music being a bit more strict/predictable than say pop music with vocals - it makes sense AI would conquer this first.

Apparently it has also done some jazz

Posted by: osiris Jan 8 2022, 02:03 PM

I'm working on a synthwave generator

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jan 8 2022, 02:16 PM

I'd be cool to hear about the process and the progress

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 8 2022, 02:45 PM

Maybe just me, but it seems the machine might have misunderstood how jazzy tension should be used to make it sound musical 😅
