How can the computer generate music ?
To generate music that is similar to a composer, we take pieces from the composer,
break each up into small segments, containing the harmonic sequences and the duration sequences, and then form new music sequences by threading the segments together in a consisten way.
Formally, we apply projection and then a relation join to the harmonic sequences and duration sequences. The results show that our algorithms can
generate new music sequences that have similarity in style to the composer we started with.
Can you distinguish between human-composed and machine-composed chord sequences ?
Below are 10 chord sequences, five of them are from Bach's original chorales, five are composed by machine.
Composer duration sequences are not taken into account.
