Hey, I am Shiv
Let’s not go for a formal introduction. I was always into music since my class 4, and here I am , certified Indian classical musician (8+ years with 3+ years on stage experience ). But maybe I was naive or dumb, never once it came to my mind that I should pursue Music as a career, and I just saw my cousin elder brother and choose Engineering, so it was nothing dramatic for me like any passion , goal , achievement for me. And I am into engineering, I want something to do in life that keeps me connected deeply to my passion and also that I will enjoy my job much more .
Now I am CSE- AIML graduate, yes I have done good-decent projects , some hackathons( both participated and organised ), in my third year I fully focused on projects (on which I fully focused ). Now I have completed DSA too, but I don’t wanna sit for on campus placements right now (unless I confirm that I have freedom to apply only to selected companies , coz I just don’t want to get selected somewhere and call it a job)
Coming to this account, it will be purely a technical/professional portfolio for myself, where I would be sharing my updates of something I love working on : AI+MUSIC
Yes, I just want to work in this field because I have so many delusions into this. I have also experienced some limitations to world class music models like Lyria and so many others, hope I become capable of contributing
And this is all , any suggestions drop down below!
AI + Music journey , day 1
i'm starting with basics and documenting everything publicly,
and today learnt the first foundational idea:
Before AI can generate or understand music , How does a computer even hold music?
Learnt:
Music can be represented as actual sound, or as instructions/structure
well , as a practical musician , this instruction thingy is new for me , coz now - Music is not only notes or data, it is texture , timing, intention and feel
it's also about asking whether Machines can understand both the structure and soul of the music ? Exploring more!!
@aashitwts Hey can you write a medium article or blog on this , like in an order, with the exact resources you used and also the projects you built, would be very helpful
