I have been having fun with AI music generators in the last 5 months or so, mostly Suno frontends, but also some others, including a brief experimentation with running Ace Step 1.5 locally.

I am concerned about possible future limitations to AI music creation from intellectual property, and have been setting about generating a stockpile of material in a variety of genres that I enjoy that I can use to train LoRAs of open source models in future should access to good models be repressed.

I have decided to make that material available publicly with a CC0 (public domain) licence on The Internet Archive to enable anyone to train LoRAs (or even foundation models, although that seems less likely). I will refrain from posting the link here as I think that the self-promotion policies here limit links to one specific piece of music in a specially titled thread, and that is difficult for Internet Archive collections.

I have started going through the canon of styles of western art-music, starting with renaissance and baroque, and have reached the baroque/classical transition era of the "galant", a term with which I was not familiar until I undertook more research as part of this project. I have already generated some late romantic and jazz styles, as well as 1980s popular styles (although many of the songs with lyrics are at least semi-humorous).

In the course of researching for this project, I have used AI to generate a timeline of composers and eras of classical music so that I can create prompts to match the styles.

Even if nobody else should use them, I shall enjoy listening to them while cooking, essentially having my own private version of Classic FM without the advertisements. If only I could find a way of setting up an automated AI voice as a presenter, giving a brief description of the name and style of the preceding and succeeding tracks and periodically giving news and weather summaries, and then I should have a complete radio station replacement.
