Contest Brief

Need a video where you create an original piece of music with the help of aisings.com, which is a website that you can use to create melodies automatically. The site uses a new technology that takes in training data in the form of MIDI (you can select from a list or upload your own). It then generates a melody, however to create something that really sounds good, the melody should be doctored up some, perhaps by adding harmony, percussion etc. The video should demonstrate the process of create the music from start to finish. Looking for you to blend your own creativity with the result of the tool to get something that sounds good.

The process will involve you using the site to generate a melody. You will need to download the melody in MIDI form and enhance it some in a sequencer, perhaps with harmony or other tracks. This tutorial explains the basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyp1NTYyx5k

The result of the project should be a video file that is appropriate for posting on youtube.

Judging criteria:
- Video shows how you used the site and generated the melody (use appropriate screencapture if needed)
- Explanations are clear
- Video is enjoyable to watch
- The final result from the tool sounds good

FAQ:

How to deliever:
I'll use youtube to view the entries and select a winner. Once the winner is selected, I'll ask for the source video file.

Length of musical piece:
The length is whatever you want. It seems to me that approximately 2-3 minutes is reasonable, but use your own judgement.

Number of pieces:
You may create multiple pieces if that helps you explain the system, only one is required.

Adding Signature:
You can put your own name/signature on the video if you want. Your choice.

I've examined entries so far and I have this recommendation: adding a teaser at the beginning of the video that shows people part of the final result will help draw people in, then when it's followed by an explanation they will be interested in understanding how it was acheived. Just a tip. Good luck to all!

  I am working now with aisings.com, I will upload my video as soon as possible. It is mandatory to make 2 minutes piece of music, or I can make some sort of video tutorial, with some shorter, but more explosive example of music? aisings.com generates shorter examples, so I want to show what can be done with example, to show how exactly aisings contribute, and what can be done with the file downloaded from site.

  Sure, you can make the piece longer. 2 minutes is really just a minimum.

  Yes, you can use any software or musical instrument to acheive a final result, as long as you demonstrate and how aisings contributes to the music creation process.
