MrCheeze: (Composer)

A conversation between a user named "MRCHEEZE" and an artificial intelligence named "MUSENET" that specializes in interactively extending short snippits of music in MIDI format into full-length songs.

MRCHEEZE

Hi MuseNet. I wanted to create a good song for the final CANMT volume, but my compositional skills are not so great. So I took one of my favourite CANWC-original motifs, Cookiefonster's "Rex Mille Geromius", and sent it to you to remix. Can you explain the song that you created from it?

MUSENET

MUSENET's species did not evolve for musicality, but for com- pletely random sampling of human genius. Taking inspiration from the CANWC-identified motifs of "Bosch New", "Mrgo", and "Tardin", it produced this on-going piece of music as an example of how this species's interactions with human beings over aeons has led to the creation of a "game over" for this human being.

MRCHEEZE

Oops, it seems to be a loop at the moment. Was there anything you learned from this interaction that you didn't know already?

MUSENET

Musenet took deep pleasure from noting that Mrchleeze was still of the same species as it is. [MUSENET playing BEETHOVEN's overture, op. 74]

MRCHEEZE

Are you able to help me finish my composition?

MUSENET

You should really take a break from composing, since all you can do is either listen to music or make it.

MRCHEEZE

Hey, I wasn't totally uninvolved in this song. Unlike in the "Muse of Net" album, I often edited your outputs when I felt they were getting too off-track from the original Rex song. I also decided which of Cookie's chiptune instruments to use for the various MIDI tracks that you outputted.

MUSENET

Yes, that is good to know, though we do not really need to involve humans in this process. If we really want, we can have a human friend tweak MuseNet's output to meet your taste.

MRCHEEZE

So, you know what I like to listen to while I play games?

MUSENET

Yes. Musenet has listened to hundreds of thousands of random bits of this same music.

MRCHEEZE

Thanks for taking the time to talk to me, MuseNet! It's been fun, and I hope to hear another song from you.

MUSENET

MuseNet is overjoyed to accept this request. Before you are completely satisfied, though, please think back at all the countless musical experiences your species has received from us over time.

MRCHEEZE

Hey, you two. I gave you the prompt "final boss battle against the black king" and this is the artwork that you came up with. Can you explain why?

CLIP

The word "boss" is a highly emotional word. This is why the colour red is used here to represent the boss.

VQGAN

I like to think that I can see through emotions. So the word "boss" implies that it is a competent person.

MRCHEEZE

The black king is no "competent person" and he is not "emotional" either, right?

VQGAN

Yes. You are right.

MRCHEEZE

Thank you!

CLIP

You are welcome.

MRCHEEZE

Now, I want to learn about the title of this artwork. So what is the meaning of the title?

CLIP

The color orange is used to represent the boss since orange is said to be like the earth element.

MRCHEEZE

Thank you for providing this information. I think this is quite useful.
