Interesting songs. "Crossing the Channel" doesn't seem to have a strange tempo so much as the piano chord on the offbeat (and perhaps some swing on it as well, I can't quite tell).

The problem I think AI generate music has to overcome is that it kind of meanders around without coming to any "conclusions". That said, perhaps this is the perfect music for wandering around a town in an RPG!

This is where the human element comes in though I would think: a guiding hand to say "start ramping up to more of that, okay now you want a lull here..."

The best music I’ve heard from AI by far is AIVA[0], the “AI Composer” with a YouTube channel uploading a couple new songs every week. I’d argue its the only generated music I’ve heard that could pass as “good”.

I don’t think it will be long before AI composers are better than all but the most talented humans.
