Abstract
Abstract We report here the processes involved in creating our entry in the 2020 AI Song Contest, “Beautiful the World”; the technical innovations from the project; and the decision-making that divided tasks between human and machine in a way that ensured that the final creation was AI inspired but human created, starting from generated melodies, lyrics, and timbres. Key innovations include the use of lyric stress patterns as queries to a stress-based melody index to a database of generated melodies, and the creation of a novel instrument timbre with differential digital signal processing, trained on Australian animal calls. We reflect on how human–AI cocreativity occurred during the process and how it may develop in the future.
