Revealing AMBI: Track 15, Reassurance

Redefining Music Creation in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

There are numerous ongoing discussions about AI’s impact on music.

A key concern is AI potentially replacing musicians, leading to an increase in AI-generated music on platforms.

However, I believe this concern isn’t entirely valid. AI still has significant limitations in its creative capabilities, as it relies solely on the data it’s fed. There will always be room for human creativity. At the same time, I firmly believe that while AI can speed up certain processes, there will always be room for human creativity, even as AI-generated music becomes more prevalent.

Now, let me tell you about LAIFE, a startup I co-founded.

At LAIFE, we uphold this principle of “AI meets Human” as a core standard. We use cutting-edge AI technology to generate personalized Functional Music that alleviates symptoms of anxiety, stress, and burnout. This provides users with a convenient and accessible solution to manage their mental health and improve overall well-being through a Mental Fitness Plan.

Beyond generating AI music, we anticipated the debate about ownership of AI-generated music. So, we chose a different approach from companies like Suno, Aiva and others.

Instead of generating music directly based on prompts, we used royalty-free MIDI files to train our Machine Learning system. And then, the system delivers only MIDI files back to us.

This approach aligns with the notion that if we receive a MIDI file and work on it, we’re adding a human touch. The music is still AI-generated but post-produced by humans, which removes many of the AI characteristics from the original file.

It’s worth noting that these MIDI files wouldn’t be particularly pleasant to listen to on their own—they’d sound like a dull version of the first Mario Bros game soundtrack.

By combining AI and human creativity at LAIFE, we’ve established new standards for delivering music. Through the addition of specific frequencies and sounds, we help listeners cope with anxiety, depression, stress, and various mental health issues. All of this is backed by medical research.

Now, let’s consider the other side of music production: delivery and distribution.

Some music distributors proudly claim they can detect when AI-generated music is uploaded to their platforms and block its release.

Well…

Here’s the next song then. 😉

That’s why it’s called “Reassurance.” It gave me certainty that we’re not just riding the latest AI music trend. It confirmed that humans are still crucial to the entire musical process, and that music platforms and distributors won’t be overwhelmed by AI-generated music in the near future—at least, that’s my hope.

Thank you for taking the time to explore “Reassurance”, the fifteenth track of my album. I’d love to hear your thoughts and impressions.

Feel free to share your experience or any questions you might have about the creative process behind this piece.

I encourage you to check out the rest of the album. Each track has its own unique story and sonic landscape waiting to be discovered.

Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes insights on the upcoming tracks!

Best wishes,

Billy
