This track was composed, performed, mixed, and mastered by artificial intelligence for the 2022 AI Song Contest. Indy Rubbish Mice is a team comprising of musicians, AI researchers, physicists, and technologists based in Indianapolis, Indiana, and led by Dr. Jason Palamara. The vision of this team is to use popular music-making as a way to deeply engage in the intersection of technology, creativity, and musicianship with artificial intelligence tools. The diversity in expertise in this team creates opportunities to explore structured sound through both technical and creative lenses, investigating how algorithmic methods balance or even compete with the idea of traditional aesthetics and music theory in songwriting. The team members consist of university faculty in music technology, acoustics, and physics, and include Ph.D. students, Master's students, and undergraduate students that are a subset of the Artificial Intelligence in Music Working Group (AIMWoG) housed at Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis.
