Plato rightly said “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.”
This Google doodle enables you to make concert level music. Yes! that’s right, even if you do not know anything about music.
It’s possible because of Google’s machine learning that was developed by Google’s Magenta team. The concept is PAIR or People + AI Research and the machine learning model is Coconut. They used 306 Bach chorale harmonizations as reference and designing team made it look real. The interface is simply awesome and opens a music box through which you enter into the musical world of Bach and can create your own music later.
When you click on the box, Bach himself starts introducing himself and brings forward notes, tones and melodies.
