Fly Away -- composed using AI
I composed this over a few days. The AI music software I use is collaborative, and even the performance quality revisions done in MIDI software can take hours to complete.
That includes adding sustain pedal, changing tempos, adjusting the volumes of every note, all to make it sound more naturally played.
The original seed sequence for this was generated by the simple Huggingface version of Allegro Music Transformer. The seed was prepared in MIDI software, altering many notes and cutting out the junk.
Here is a link to the simplest way to generate good quality seeds. Maybe one in ten or twenty is good:

Alex's Huggingface edition of Allegro Music Transformer, to generate seeds only, can generate an original 800 tokens-long seed in about 40 seconds. It is satisfying to use, and easy to do other things while using it. Download your seeds in MIDI in lower right corner, the right side of the MIDI panel at the bottom of the page.
I did many long "continuation" sequences of the seed in both Allegro Music Transformer, GitHub (Python) version as well as Giant Music Transformer on GitHub.
Then I put the piece together in MIDI software. Usually, I write my own endings, or fashion them out of some phrase in a sequence. This one, however, I generated with the "outro" selected, and after generated about 20, came up with three which could be modified to be endings for the piece.
This piece sounds like it would be good for band, orchestra or brass quintet maybe. This is one of my more successful and cohesive works.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the video selection on the copyright-free video sites to get the imagery I thought would be the most effective.
