Art By Machine is the title track of the debut album by Oldfield 1, an artificial intelligent music composer. Art By Machine, released in 2015, was one of the first albums composed and largely produced by A.I. to be commercially published.

Oldfield 1 is computer program developed by Mark Sheeky as an experimental addition to his proprietary synthesizer and sequencer software, Prometheus. The music Oldfield 1 has created here is largely indistinguishable from music created by a human.

For each track, a selection of instruments is provided to the program, with a selection of possible pitches and possible timings. The program applies these across each track independently; bass, drums, lead etc. choosing different options for the start of a pattern, the middle, and the end. As Oldfield 1 is a subsystem of a studio-quality synthesizer and sequencer, it has the power to create a high quality song in a single click with minimal need for external processing.

Musically, Oldfield 1 creates repeating melodic structures that fit into chord sequences that are known to fit together in a pleasing way. The music is akin to a geometrical abstract artwork, perhaps the audio embodiment of Piet Mondrian or Kandinsky.
