Extinction [Deep Learning Edit] by Sascha Ende

"Extinction [Deep Learning Edit]" immediately establishes a dark, foreboding atmosphere. The track's strength lies in its ability to evoke a sense of impending doom and technological dominance, making it a strong contender for dystopian thrillers or sci-fi projects. The initial spoken word section, while conceptually interesting, feels a bit out of place and could detract from the track's overall impact. A smoother transition into the main musical body would significantly improve the flow.

The core of the composition revolves around a pulsating, driving electronic rhythm section and layers of ominous synth textures. The arrangement builds tension effectively, creating a sense of urgency and unease. However, the melodic content is relatively sparse. Introducing a subtle, recurring melodic motif – perhaps a haunting, distorted synth line or a processed vocal sample – could add a layer of memorability and emotional depth without sacrificing the track's overall darkness.

From a production standpoint, the track is generally well-mixed, with a clear separation between the various elements. The low-end is powerful and impactful, and the synth textures have a pleasingly gritty quality. The overall sonic clarity is above the medium level. Some sections, although, could be brighter. While the mastering creates a sense of loudness, it also feels slightly compressed, potentially limiting the track's dynamic range. A more nuanced approach to mastering, allowing for greater peaks and valleys, could enhance the track's emotional impact and give it a more polished, professional sheen.

Emotionally, "Extinction" successfully conveys a feeling of dread and apprehension, but its emotional palette is somewhat limited. Exploring moments of contrasting dynamics – perhaps brief interludes of quieter, more atmospheric sound design – could create a more engaging listening experience and broaden the track's potential applications. It currently lends itself well to scenes of technological warfare, futuristic cityscapes, or suspenseful chases, but these subtle variations could open it up to more introspective or emotionally complex scenes.

Compared to industry-standard production music in the electronic/cinematic genre, "Extinction" holds its own in terms of its core sound design and atmosphere. It would benefit from the composition and arrangement of the final layer of production polish, as mentioned. However, it is far from ready to be a reference track.

Overall, "Extinction [Deep Learning Edit]" is a promising track with a strong, evocative atmosphere and solid production. With some refined production elements, it could become a truly valuable asset for filmmakers and game developers seeking to create a sense of unease and technological dread. The spoken words add a unique touch to the track.

Over five years of hard work. Let me introduce you: The first song written entirely by an artificial intelligence. Even the lyrics are based on a deep learning algorithm that was previously fed with content. The voice was then generated by a neural voice generator. This song uses the pattern m5M, which is often used in film music.
I have been working on music theory for a long time. Back then it all started with the website "Chordfinder", which automatically generated good sounding chords based on the most popular patterns of pop music. Since music is ultimately based on mathematics and rules, it wasn't too difficult to generate midi files that could be automatically imported into Cubase as tracks.
I only had to do the mixing. And the subsequent mastering of the music was also done by an artificial intelligence.
The question now is: Is this music or is it not music? Is it art or is it not art just because it is not created by a human being? Who is the artist when an artificial intelligence produces a song: The programmer or the artificial intelligence?
If artificial intelligence eventually takes on human traits and emotions, this question will nevertheless become very relevant at some point - because artificial intelligence will claim to have performed the creative work without the programmer.
