In order to create an artificial intelligence system like Flow Machines capable of composing music, programmers had to feed the program thousands and thousands of examples of sheet music from a large database. The sheet music in this database consisted of songs of varying styles. After Flow Machines analyzed all of the sheet music, a human composer gave the AI system a style prompt as a basis for a composition. Flow Machines was able to take that initial prompt and turn it into a complete melody and harmony.
