Abstract


Machines have the power and potential to make expressive
music on their own. This thesis aims to computationally
model the process of creating music using experience from
listening to examples. Our unbiased signal-based solution
models the life cycle of listening, composing, and
performing, turning the machine into an active musician,
instead of simply an instrument. We accomplish this through
an analysis-synthesis technique by combined perceptual and
structural modeling of the musical surface, which leads to a
minimal data representation.

We introduce a music cognition framework that results from
the interaction of psychoacoustically grounded causal
listening, a time-lag embedded feature representation, and
perceptual similarity clustering. Our bottom-up analysis
intends to be generic and uniform by recursively revealing
metrical hierarchies and structures of pitch, rhythm, and
timbre. Training is suggested for top-down unbiased
supervision, and is demonstrated with the prediction of
downbeat. This musical intelligence enables a range of
original manipulations including song alignment, music
restoration, cross-synthesis or song morphing, and
ultimately the synthesis of original pieces.

totally. there is none.

at least with stuff like squarepusher, etc, the soul is
written in the music.. here we have music both written and
performed by computers.

i hope it's as shit as it sounds.

machines have the possibility of making expressive
music? doesn't expressive imply that there is something to
be said? a computer can't have something to say on its
own...

Indeed, any 'soul' in the music the machine makes is that of
the person who made the machine.

he uses words in wrong contexts all the time

he calls composing an act of creation in which one puts
sounds together, and then argues that computers can compose
because they can put things together. However, I believe he
means that computers can produce a sound by putting
sounds together, which is quite different from creating.

although it might be interesting in some ways:

i mean just imagine - a computer that has the exact musical
and melodical style as you. that would be the perfect band
partner. might be quite interesting.
