Maybe ask /c/operafans

Just rerelease Lakme, no one will notice

Damn. That didn’t work.

The plot....

Do you know how to write music?

I guess you'd better start with building an appropriate theatre ; don't worry, just follow "Pratica di fabricar scene e macchine ne‘ teatri" and you'll get set up in no time, with gods descending from above, devils surging from the bowels of the earth and other high seas tempests (with monsters) - all the normal things you need in any decent opera. Have fun!

A pencil and a notepad :p

No not really, I have rudimentary knowledge of notes. Could AI help me here? If I hum or sing the tune (The dramatic storyline is partially finished),could an AI engine turn it into a Partitur for each instrument?

That is partially finished, I have also selected the voices. In my head I can already hear a lot of the piece, and occasionally I hum partitures from it in the shower.

Well, you would, for starters! No this will be an original piece, I can’t talk about the actual story line - this is HOT baby.

I already did- it literally rained insults. I tell you, these heretics won’t be getting any free tickets for premiere night, the luddites.

The shower test proves you are ready. Just record it (audio only) on the shower and post it on social media...

Go have a roller coaster ride and "write" it out with your screams. As you calm down, there will be no opera left in your mind. 🤭

Amazing. Wants to write an opera, has no idea how written music works (but has knowledge of notes, thank god), and then wants to use AI to bridge the gap instead of learning a fucking thing.

Are they Luddites because they said using AI to write your opera is a laughable premise? Because they're right, you know.

Aaaa Oooo Iiiii Uuuuu Eeeehhh.. 🤭

Weren’t you in another thread claiming to be a musicologist with 45+ years experience? And yet you can’t read or write music without AI?

Yes, it’s very frustrating.

Why should it be laughable? It is not as if I’m suggesting that it should be sung by robots… although… although… this gets me thinking! perhaps I better shut up , the world is full of thieves.

Start with immersing yourself into operas. Old pieces, contemporary pieces... this could be a good start.

Ragebait

How could anyone get enraged by this cultural question ? People these days…

“Can I drive a formula one car?”

“Idk, can you drive a car?”

“No but can’t I ask AI to drive for me?”

Literally the definition of ragebait. As a formally trained musician I can only tell you to just drop it when that’s your attitude. Good luck.

I can only imagine.

That’s so dope! Will you upload a video of the finished product to Lemmy ?

Most instances of Lemmy have a very low opinion of AI. You aren't going to find AI recommendations here.

Also, regarding music, a lot of music theory is used in the writing of opera and musicals. AI could write music for you, but you wouldn't be able to critique the output to make a decent opera. People educated in music would be able to tell what is missing/wrong and people without this education would still likely be and to tell that doesn't hit.

Alas, that’s not part of the business plan at this stage, but I will offer lower pricing for students. Would that work for you?

I don’t want to dwell too much on the AI bit (although AI is making great strides), because it quickly gets people “on the fence”. I mean, the creative part part is mine, and the melody too; tatata dum-di-dum taraaaaah! But I don’t want to give too much away.

I doubt that!

They passed the shower test??

How are they not signed to a label already

Sorry, I only know when they end

lmao

I suppose the real first step would be to watch a few with the script in your hand and then just steal everything you like. That's how art works, anyway.

If I understand correctly, it's common for the composer and the script writer to be different people, so... maybe team up?
