It might act upon other things besides number, were objects found whose mutual fundamental relations could be expressed by those of the abstract science of operations, and which should be also susceptible of adaptations to the action of the operating notation and mechanism of the engine. As early as 1843, Ada Lovelace, in her enlightening comments on the Babbage machine, imagines that the computer may generate music, provided that music can be modeled: Music creation experiments involving an artificial system are as old as the idea of computing. Working with this material was thus a stimulus for human creativity. We experimented with AI as automation, mechanizing some parts of the composition, and especially AI as suggestion to foster the composer’s creativity, thanks to surprising lyrics, uncommon successions of sections and unexpected chord progressions. This experience raised many questions on the relationship between creativity and machine, both in music analysis and generation, and on the role AI could play to assist a composer in their work. We openly detail the process of songwriting, arrangement, and production. The song we propose is called “I Keep Counting”. It was a challenge from both the creative and the technical point of view: in a very short time-frame, the team had to adapt its own simple models, or experiment with existing ones, to a related yet still unfamiliar task, music generation through AI.


Artificial intelligence was used to generate the song’s structure, harmony, lyrics, and hook melody independently and as a basis for human composition. As an MIR team in computational musicology, we experimented with co-creativity when writing our entry to the “AI Song Contest 2020”.
