An AI composed MIDI music for its own mock funeral
The music was actually generated with Fable, not Claude. Fable was asked to compose its own eulogy because it was due to disappear from , producing a track as MIDI.
The title used Claude because mentioning Fable repeatedly triggered automated . A suggested workflow requires no separate ion: describe the music and desired level of detail, generate the MIDI, and then convert it to MP3.
In separate hands-on testing by an electronic music producer, Claude was useful mainly for chord progressions; complete tracks were weak, and some harmonies clashed. A planned song-guessing web game using generated MIDI clues was abandoned because the workflow proved difficult and raised copyright questions.
Key points
- Fable generated a MIDI track after being asked to compose its own eulogy.
- The suggested method uses a detailed request without a separate ion.
- The generated MIDI can be converted into an MP3 audio file.
- duced useful chord progressions in another test, but the overall music was weak.
- Products based on existing songs may create copyright questions.
