This is part 4 of my explorations of using deep learning for assisting the process of music composition. In this part, I look at the process of composition using a model built using deep learning methods on over 23,000 folk tunes. Part 1 is here. Part 2 is here. Part 3 is here. In the […]
This is part 3 of my explorations of using deep learning for assisting the process of music composition. In this part, I look at creating things other than strict folk tunes with a model trained by deep learning methods on over 23,000 folk tunes. Part 1 is here. Part 2 is here. Does the world […]
This is part 2 of my explorations of using deep learning for assisting the process of music composition. In this part, I look at some “failures” of a model trained by deep learning methods on over 23,000 folk tunes. Part 1 is here. Here is a little bit of extended tension composed by the system, […]
This is part 1 of my explorations of using deep learning for assisting the process of music composition. In this part, I look at some almost-winning output of a model trained by deep learning methods on over 23,000 folk tunes, and make improvements to produce a session-ready piece. There have been several recent explorations of […]
The other day we posted the Endless magenta Traditional Music Session, and added 17,000+ tunes to the Endless folk-rnn Traditional Music Session. Listening to the differences between the results generated by the two systems shows just how important the representation can be for statistical machine learning. This is not surprising, but it kicked up an […]
Given the ubiquity of this short musical phrase called the “Millennial Whoop”, let’s compose some Celtic-style music that “features” it. I am going to use the folk-rnn deep LSTM model that we trained and presented recently. (This is a continuation of my explorations of using deep learning for assisting the process of music composition.) Let’s […]
