Two musicians involved in programming using artificial intelligence were able to generate all possible tunes in MIDI format and opened licensed access to them. So they want to stop claims against independent musicians accused of plagiarism.

First, the guys identified each melody that is contained within one octave. And then, sorting through possible combinations of notes, they created melodies of 8 notes and 12 bits, pass Vice.

The whole procedure, according to programmers, is similar to password guessing. The system can generate 300 thousand combinations per second. In total, they received 68.7 billion combinations — according to them, just as many melodies could theoretically exist.

The authors of the project noted that independent musicians are suing because of plagiarism in their songs. They spend a lot of time and money. Ril and Rubin hope that by releasing tunes in public, they will prevent many authors from appearing in court.

“Maybe if numbers exist from the beginning of time, and we just use them, then the melodies are just mathematics, just facts that are not protected by copyright,” Ril explains.

Recently it was reported about development engineers from the University of Maryland. Gadgets designed for people with disabilities. They are designed to simplify their interaction with other people and the world around them.
