One More Time With Feeling: Music Harmony using Deep Learning
Baroque music frequently uses something called Figured Bass Notation, which lets an accompanist improvise music harmony. Software exists that allow you to use this notation to realise a harmony in a rules-based way, but is it possible to do the same with machine learning, and how does a machine learning version compare? Using a previously-unexplored dataset of Bach’s chorales, we explore this by training a model and evaluating, using various metrics, the results against the original version and against the rules-based version. The exhibit will also have some of these audio generations to listen to.
