A Style-Specific Music Composition Neural Network

摘要

Automatic music composition could dramatically decrease music production costs, lower the threshold for the non-professionals to compose as well as improve the efficiency of music creation. In this paper, we proposed an intelligent music composition neutral network to automatically generate a specific style of music. The advantage of our model is the innovative structure: we obtained the music sequence through an actor’s long short term memory, then fixed the probability of sequence by a reward-based procedure which serves as feedback to improve the performance of music composition. The music theoretical rule is introduced to constrain the style of generated music. We also utilized a subjective validation in experiment to guarantee the superiority of our model compared with state-of-the-art works.
