Amuse: Human-AI Collaborative Songwriting with Multimodal Inspirations

Open access
Kim, Yewon, Lee, Sung-Ju, Donahue, Chris·2025·Proceedings of the 2025 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Abstract

Songwriting is often driven by multimodal inspirations, such as imagery, narratives, or existing music, yet songwriters remain unsupported by current music AI systems in incorporating these multimodal inputs into their creative processes. We introduce Amuse, a songwriting assistant that transforms multimodal (image, text, or audio) inputs into chord progressions that can be seamlessly incorporated into songwriters' creative processes. A key feature of Amuse is its novel method for generating coherent chords that are relevant to music keywords in the absence of datasets with paired examples of multimodal inputs and chords. Specifically, we propose a method that leverages multimodal large language models (LLMs) to convert multimodal inputs into noisy chord suggestions and uses a unimodal chord model to filter the suggestions. A user study with songwriters shows that Amuse effectively supports transforming multimodal ideas into coherent musical suggestions, enhancing users' agency and creativity throughout the songwriting process.

  • Access to generation does not remove the need for human judgement.

    “Access to generation does not remove the need for human judgement, since rendered outputs still have to be evaluated, revised and organised within a larger creative structure, particularly when fully rendered audio forms part of an iterative production process (Kim et al., 2025).”

    From AI-assisted literary-to-song adaptation: a practice-based study of literary interpretation in a text-to-audio workflow (2026) · cites this paper as Kim et al., 2025

    Section 3.2.3 (p. 4) says participants valued manual songwriting and the ability to choose where to use and edit AI suggestions, supporting the need for human judgement. But the paper discusses editing modular musical elements, not evaluating and revising fully rendered audio within an iterative production process; the Introduction (p. 1) says completed audio songs are less supportive of that kind of iteration.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
