The Marimba Robot That Composes and Plays Its Own Music At the Georgia's Institute of Technology, Shimon plays some marimba jams. Shimon is also not human, but a robot using deep learning and artificial intelligence to play music of its own creation. Being f ed a variety of over 5,000 songs from Beethoven to Lady Gaga along with a library of 2 million motifs and riffs, Shimon is one of the world's first synthetic musicians. Mason Bretan, a Ph.D. student and Georgia Tech, perfected Shimon's musical abilities after seven years, enabling him to comprehend music played by humans and extemporize over the pre-composed chord progressions. "An artist has a bigger idea of what he or she is trying to achieve within the next few measures or later in the piece," Bretan says in an interview .
