Summary: Composing Music with Generative Models
Understand the principles of AI-based music generation, including score and performance components, and learn to represent music digitally. Explore LSTM and GAN models for creating monophonic pieces, then advance to multi-track polyphonic music using MuseGAN architecture. Gain hands-on experience with tools like music21 and insights into modeling techniques for complex music generation.
We'll cover the following...
In the first section of this chapter, we briefly discussed the two components of music generation, namely score and performance generation. We also touched upon different use cases associated with music generation. The next section focused on different methods for music representation. At a high level, we discussed continuous and discrete representation techniques. We primarily focused on 1D waveforms and 2D spectrograms as main representations in the audio or continuous domain.
