An interesting way that you could use artificial intelligence in music, specifically with meter and rhythm, is to take, for example, groups of 2 and 3—which is how polyrhythms and mixed meter and odd meter pieces are shaped, and have some randomization of that. It would continuously run in the background and then you’d listen to it and capture interesting snapshots or “stills”. This goes back to my idea of putting these things on a mixing board in a separate channel, with a “meter” channel that is constantly running and then you’d just pull up the fader and see what’s there. If there’s nothing there then you just don’t use it. It’s similar to turning on the radio at random or opening a book at random. 

[6/24/2025: A “feature request” for AI music. AI music is still a listener’s tool rather than for real songwriting. Recently I tried using the Strategies as a prompt and mostly didn’t work, but as a listener I like the results for what they were].
