Pretty much all mainstream songs are of the same tempo (or slight variations), the same beat, the same scale, the same accents etc. I'm not surprised at all it can be regurgitated by an generative model.

What I would like to see is what happens if you ask it to do in 5/8, 5/4 or any of the 7/* variants and see how that goes (I have no idea, might actually work). There are some examples in common music but not a lot especially for the more obscure ones. Unless they also trained it on a lot of international folk songs.



Almost none of what you said is true. Same scale? Tempo? Same beat? You think artists are just all using the same instrumental track?

And yes it can do odd time signatures. It can do all sorts of genres like art pop, cinematic scores, ambient, math rock, avant garde, baroque, etc.


There's a surprising number of pop songs that use the same or close to the same chord progression.
