## Abstract (arXiv)

Producing original and arranging existing musical outcomes is an art that takes years of learning and practice to master. Yet, despite the constant advances in the field of AI-powered musical creativity, production of quality musical outcomes remains a prerogative of the humans. Here we demonstrate that a single bubble in water can be used to produce creative musical outcomes, when it nonlinearly oscillates under an acoustic pressure signal that encodes a piece of classical music. The audio signal of the response of the bubble resembles an electric guitar version of the original composition. We suggest, and provide plausible theoretical supporting arguments, that this property of the bubble can be used to create physics-inspired AI systems capable of simulating human creativity in arrangement and composition of music.
