Automated music refers to music that is created or produced using computer algorithms and software without direct human intervention. This process can involve various techniques, such as generative music, where algorithms generate melodies and harmonies based on specific rules or parameters. Many tools and platforms, like Ableton Live and Logic Pro, allow musicians to incorporate automation in their compositions. Additionally, AI technologies, such as OpenAI's MuseNet, can analyze existing music and create new pieces in different styles, expanding the possibilities of music creation and composition.
