Can AI generate a soundtrack to match your drawing?

A new experiment from Google AI will try to do just that! Musical Canvas will generate a soundtrack to match your drawing. Draw a picture on the canvas and the tool will use AI to provide you with a running commentary on your drawing and generate a soundtrack to match. In addition you can add visual effects using the filters provided to change the look and music response, generate an 8-bit sound influence or old film style for a vinyl effect. It is certainly worth a play!

Here is what Musical Canvas thought of my very simple drawings, and the music it generated was pretty impressive too!

• The music is a fast-paced electronic track with a happy, upbeat feel.
• It is perfect for listening to while drawing or doing other creative activities.
• The drawing is simple and has a childlike quality to it.
• The use of bright colours is cheerful and gives the drawing a positive feel.
• Have a listen for yourself!

• The piece is a slow, sad classical piece. The piano plays a simple melody, conveying the emotion of sadness.
• It creates a sense of longing and loss.
• The drawing is simple but effective in conveying the emotion of sadness.
• The use of dark colours and the downturned mouth create a sense of melancholy.
• The curly hair adds a touch of whimsy, which helps to balance out the sadness.
