Abstract
This chapter reflects on about 10 years of research in AI- assisted music composition, in particular during the Flow Machines project. We reflect on the motivations for such a project, its background, its main results and impact, both technological and musical, several years after its completion. We conclude with a proposal for new categories of new, created by the many uses of AI techniques to generate novel material.
