Simon Willison 用 Claude Opus 5.5 测试 AI 作曲，做出 Scrimshaw Jukebox

Scrimshaw Jukebox

AI 导读

Simon Willison 让 Claude Opus 5.5 设计一种简单的文本音乐格式，并构建一个能播放它的 artifact，还要求示例曲目达到《猴岛小英雄》初代的音乐水准。结果成品比他预想的更贴近猴岛主题，但效果出奇地好。他由此猜测，作曲能力或许像此前的 3D 图形能力一样，是文本模型近几个月才涌现的新能力，但需要更多实验验证。

Tool: Scrimshaw Jukebox

I wanted to see if Claude Opus 5.5 could compose music, so I tried this:

I want you to write some computer game music for me. First design simple text based format for the music and build an artifact that can play it out loud - include some example tracks in that artifact

I am looking for music of the quality of the original secret of Monkey Island

It leaned a lot harder into the Monkey Island theme than I had intended, but the results are surprisingly good.

I wonder if the ability to compose competent music is similar to the 3D graphics thing - a new capability for text models that emerged in the past few months?

Would need some careful experiments with other recent and not-so-recent models to confirm if this is new or if they've been able to do this for a while.
