And we can do like, um, all the beat ones over there.

Yeah. Okay. is like option to choose voice artist and um a more like interesting voice are those different

things or not really um i think they're kind of similar but i mean the option is like different because yeah it's like an adding a feature kind of yeah should we just put that one like miscellaneous like separately oh yeah or like new features or whatever yeah

yeah Oh wait, she said,"Start with more than 10 sticky notes and then more than five groups."

Oh, where did she say that?

It's on like a comment in the bottom right corner. Oh, it just disappeared.

Oh, okay. Wait, we have more than 10 sticky notes.

Well, we don't have five groups.

I think we just need one more group. Or two more groups, if it's more than five.

Options to choose voice artists.

Okay, so we have, like, a more imperfect, interesting voice.

Maybe it's just the drums and instruments together, and then the beat ones together. Okay. separate that kind of okay that's five and then let's look at these i feel like interesting voice is kind of different from imperfect voice oh yeah we can do oh yeah so we can do like these two together interesting voice and vocal and then like The ones that weren't imperfect together.

Or I guess, is less repetitive voice like interesting voice, or is that more like imperfect voice? I think that would be interesting voice.

Interesting voice, yeah.

Interesting, yeah.

I'll put it over here. And put this one in the corner. Okay, great.

I think we're done

Hi group one Just came to say you guys are doing great Just make sure you guys also put Another sticky note To name the group Thank you

Why the sticky note is so big now? Interesting.

You guys came up with a lot of creative notes, which is great. Let me share the screen again. Next step of the activity is we're going to, just like the previous sessions where we've done similar things, we're going to... I think all of you guys just have five, but that's good. It's okay. We can use all of those five groups that we have come up with. And we're gonna put sliders for expected versus current and a reason behind it. So let me share the screen and show you guys the hidden frames. So those hidden frames, I'm gonna leave a lit now. So here you're gonna drag the, not drag, I'm so sorry. What you're gonna do this time is you're gonna select the group, sorry, group one, I'm gonna use it as an example, copy, click to the space and then paste it. So Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. We're doing this so that you remember which group it came from. So again, you click on the group name, copy, and then paste it to each of the spaces because there are five spaces. So copy, paste, copy, paste, copy, paste five times. And then you're going to... So let's say this was a group. And then you're going to place it how much of me should be, how much of AI it should be. Like how much am I controlling or how much of AI is just outputting. And what you think current music tools as a whole, Suno, MusicFX, Mewbird, Udio, everything together on average are doing. And what is the expected, the amount that you want. And then you write down the rationale here. So basically, in reality, you're going to have it copy-pasted twice like this. It might be the same. Current is here but I expect it to be here. Then you can place it exactly the same. And then just write the original because blah blah blah blah. So yeah, let's do it.

So make sure you copy paste it. Bye! So do we just do it for our group, right? Yeah, I think so. So we just pull the whole group over or do we just write the name?

I think we just do the title, whatever we title the group.

Hi, group one. Do you guys need help with getting the sticky notes moved or you guys just figuring out?

Do we just move the title or the sticky note?

Yeah, so you just copy-paste the group name, not move it because if we move it, we wouldn't remember where it came from. So select the group name. copy and then paste it twice on the space. So let me show you guys an example. I guess imperfect voice is a group. That's a great one. Oh, hey, you're doing it. Okay, I'm going to move it to here then, the second space. Oh, I already did. So twice, so one for current and one for expected. And then you guys can move it on the slider as however you guys think it should be.

Oh, gotcha. Okay.

So the slider goes from me to AI. So would like the me part be the best part and then the AI part be like the worst part?

I think she was saying, I'm not sure, but I thought she was saying like how much it should be controlled by AI versus me. that makes sense but I feel like I would lean towards like me for all of them then so I don't really know

yeah I just think I would like to control all the things just tell yeah how'd you do that yeah

what is what does it mean when it says like current versus expected

um i think you like say what the like for mine i'm doing beat what the beat is right now like how much you can control it and how much you want to control it or like how much you would expect it to be um

And then this is for both of the AI music things, right? Like not just one of them.

Yeah, I think like overall.

- So is the why like why you want it to be more human like or is it like why is it okay so not like why is it to AI okay.

Why you guys want it that way. Hey, you guys are doing great. This is looking great so far. Coming back. I guess it's time we do this session. I'm surprised how creative and like beyond my imagination you guys always go. It's just great. Okay, so step three. This is last activity before taking a break. So we're almost there and this is a pretty quick one. So we're gonna do AI must with green sticky notes and AI must not. We never should do this with red notes. And you can also add AI can sometimes with like yellow or orange notes, but you have to add a condition like AI can sometimes, I don't know, change its voice. But then you have to specify like how or when, when user wants it or like when it thinks it's gonna make a better music, something like that. So I am going to rebuild those hidden frames once more. Yeah, it's right next to the frames that you guys have been working on. So discuss within your teams, or you can just start out by putting bunch of sticky notes or what you guys want. didn't like and liked in your previous tool exploration. But all those three, URIO, no, five in total. Suno, MusicFX. Now you guys are like experts with existing music tools. You guys probably have used more tools than people who actually create music with AI. So yeah, within your groups, you can do this and definitely add more sticky notes than whatever we have here. But try to fill in every sticky note that we have here. Could be something trivial as well. Like AI must have a pretty design, have more colors than just one, or include both female and male voices, anything like that. So yeah, let's do this. Last activity before break. Hi team one, I see that you guys have a lot of great notes. Feel free to add more sticky notes if you feel like you've already just reached the existing ones, which is great. I think you guys are like the first group to reach, fill all the green ones. So yeah, also love the yellow ones.

Yay!

All right. Okay, we're back. And as I know as before, we're taking 10 minutes break now, and then we'll see you in 10 minutes then. Get some water. Hello! I'll share the screen for the check-in.

Okay everyone, let's come back. Then we'll do our quick mind-body-heart check-in. And we turn on camera so I know that you guys are actually here. Thank you. So yeah, in chat just put your numbers down. You know the drill. Yay, I'm seeing lots of fives and fours.

That's good.

Is anyone on break right now? I know there's like midwinter break for a lot of schools.

That's so nice.

I wish I was on break. Same.

Okay, we can move on. Okay. So now we're going to react within our groups only for now. And you can definitely add... more sticky notes after reacting to each other. So how to react, feel free to use stickers or even sticky notes, but or you can just simply click here to choose one of the reactions or the stickers right here or even they also have GIFs. So yeah. Let's do it right now together. So just go find your group space. If you're not sure which group you are in, you can ask either me or Allie. So go to your group space, navigate through. Yeah, we're not gonna go into breakout rooms for now. We can just do it all together. Go to your group space and then read through each other's notes. react to each other like this or stickers even sticky notes yeah it's since it's a quick read i'll just wait for two minutes I see the cool stickers. Nice. You can also react to your own notes if you really like that. Yeah. So this activity basically is to highlight which are the sticky notes that everyone agrees on and see which one would be really important. So stick to your group space and react within your group. Because we're gonna go on to next activity based on this. So yeah, react within your group with stickers, reaction, gifs, if you would like. Even sticky notes to write down, comment if you would like. I'll give you guys one more minute. Nice. See some stickers flowing around. Oh, if you haven't figured out how to use stickers, it's here. Or you can draw something if you would like. And yeah, you can also just react with sticky notes saying like,"Yay, I like this" or ask questions Okay, 20 more seconds. Nice. Okay. Yeah. If someone else has already reacted with like the mini emojis, you can just click on it and it will add up the number, which is a cool feature on mirror. So, okay. Keep living more reactions to the ones that you really agree or really like you find it interesting. And then now we're going to move on to making final set of the rule book or more like a wish list and guidelines for designing music creation tool to express emotion. So again, this tool is for yourself. The key users are teenagers and you can just think about yourself. Okay, if I'm going to use this tool, how should it be designed to express my emotion? So here I kind of recreated this like paper texture, kind of like a rule bug or like a, I don't know, like a document. So to truly express our emotions, the AI music creation tool must follow these rules. So you can combine those notes here. If anything is on the same, I don't know, on the same page, on the same context, you can also edit it, rephrase it, or even add new ideas. You can also add some optional rules. I put six so you can aim for at least six and then go beyond just like seven, eight, nine. If the space is too small, feel free to use empty spaces out here as well. but yeah discuss among you guys take a look at which ones you guys voted to be important or um something else that you thought of so yeah we're gonna have 10 minutes to come up with the final rules think about yourself it's not about the actual musicians out there it's about yourselves

okay see you I think a big one is like repeating the beat or repeating the lyrics, just not having a lot of repetition.

Yeah, let's do that as one of the rules.

Okay, so... I feel like another one is also just like overall having a really straightforward and easy to use interface, but also having, I guess, just more options in general and like more settings to adjust things.

And do you know where the document is? It's in the chat. We could say have different voice options.

Maybe have different moods as well.

Hi, group one. Oh, you guys are quick. This is great. I left one little comment. If you guys want to check that and discuss so that to expand a little bit, that'd be great.

I think for a number two, having an easy to use interface that's like settings that are easy to are accessible to people who've never used like an AI music tool before and also people who might not have as much experience with music terminology or like knowledge of that.

Yeah, that sounds great. I think you only have one person editing at a time, so after Harry's done, you should add that in.

Yeah, I think it doesn't let you edit if it's highlighted or selected by another person.

Okay. I think you can use it now.

So now we're going to have reaction time. Instead of just sharing, I thought to save time, we're just going to share, walk around. So now you can actually take a look at other team's rulebook. We're only going to take a look at here, the final set, those frames. And then you're going to leave, if you'd like something, put yellow sticky notes specifying what you liked. Oh, I like that you guys mentioned this and that or like, oh, yeah, I agree. If you guys have questions, hey, you said you're going to control the voice. Then how about the... Like, are you going to control the age of the voice or something that you wish? I like this rule, but I think you could expand it like this and that. So yeah, please help each other out with those three types of sticky notes because we're going to make actual working tool next time. Yeah, so on the same mirror board, Go visit other team. Group 1, 2, 3. Go to other teams and... Oh, sorry! Since this... Group 3 was working on yellow. Group 3, do you mind changing your sticky notes to another color? And also group 2, if you mind changing colors to not yellow, green, and blue. Sorry, I should have mentioned this. So yeah, group two and three, if you guys could just change the colors before we move around. That's great, great. Something like pink, maybe? Pink or purple, or like turquoise is great. Yeah, turquoise is great. Yay. So yeah, I'm gonna change this. And two, I'll get purple for you guys. And also group three, if you guys could come up with another role, I think you got, someone was working on it last time, number six. Meanwhile, everyone else can go around, react to each other with those three indicators. I'll also put this on Miro as a reference.

Yes.

Okay. So I'll give you guys like five minutes to react. Try to leave at least three notes in total. So at least one for each group. It's great if you leave more than one for a group because it's really going to help them. to think outside of their boxes and expand on the idea for the actual iteration. So yeah, like question wish. You can also put stickers if you would like, like last time, but make sure you put at least three sticky notes.

Mm-hmm.

and yeah group three again I think someone was working on number six before we left the breakout room so if you could just yeah that end that'd be great nice you guys are leaving a lot of like notes a lot of things that you liked Ooh, even using the arrows. I'm gonna put purple here for the number 6 that was missing. I really don't remember what was it but I saw something. So yeah, group 3 if you can fill it in. I'll move around in a while. Nice, we have a few question notes as well. which can be something that expands from that feature as well, or rules, or something completely opposite or more advanced version, anything's good. Feel free to use stickers as well if you're like really enthusiastic about any of the rules. Miro has a lot of good stickers. I'm surprised. Okay, we'll have two more minutes. Nice. You guys are being very supportive to each other. I guess by looking at each other's rules, it also helps you guys. Something like,"Oh, I should include this when I actually make the tool." You can put multiple likes as well if you like more than one rose. One more minute. Let's be supportive to each other. I think group one, we have a lot of like long comments. I guess like people were really being thoughtful. You can just put short comments too because we only have three here so far. So group two and three, if you could give group one more ideas and share your thoughts. I'm gonna wait for a few more seconds till you guys wrap it up and leave a few more comments, reactions. Okay. So yeah, that's it for today's session. And next time I'll feel free to leave your comments if you are still working on it. I really don't want to cut it up. Next time we're actually building the tool and it's gonna be our last session. but almost the most fun one I think because you guys are actually gonna see the tool working. You guys don't have to program it, don't worry. I'll get it prepared for you guys. You guys just have to edit it with the facilitators. And I think it might be a really useful experience for your future works outside of the session as well. So I'll also in the journal, we have additional question. out of the rules that you made you saw today it could be yours or other groups which one rule is the most important to you personally um it could be something from your group or something that is not here or from another group as well so yeah i would love to hear your thoughts about this and i will hand it to ali

Thanks, Dani. Yeah, I know today was very brainstorming heavy, but good news, next session you guys will actually get to finally make the tool that you've been talking about for the last like two months. So yes, please fill out your research journals. Again, try to fill out at least one question before you leave. um but yeah that should be all that's all i have on my end um the next time we meet it'll be march and yeah i hope you guys enjoy today's session and come prepared for our last session with danny because it's gonna be really fun yay thank you And I know we're, we are ending a little bit early, but once you fill out, like you can honestly do the whole like journal with the rest of the time that we have 12 minutes. And maybe Dani, you can put on some music. Thank you.

Thank you. Bye. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Bye, have a good day.

Bye. Thank you.
