Ways of interaction of a composer with artificial intelligence and the problem of authorship of a work generated by a neural network

Abstract

In the article the object of research is the process of music creation by a composer using a neural network. The nature of this process is not predetermined and allows variations within wide limits. At the same time, the study of musical material allows us to draw a conclusion about the possible ways of interaction with neural networks, to which composers turn. The subject of the study is the ways of interaction between the composer and artificial intelligence, including copyrights for the music created. The aim of the research is to study different variants of the full cycle of production of a musical work created by a composer with the help of a neural network. The problem of the research is the necessity of classification, development of terminology of musical works generated by neural network on the composer’s assignment. The material for the article are the works of modern composers using neural networks in their work, as well as research in the field of musical neuroscience. Several variants of solving the problem oauthorship of the generated work are proposed. It is concluded that the use of neural networks by composers when composing musical works does not exclude, but supplements traditional approaches to music creation.
