Abstract
Techniques are disclosed relating to determining composition rules, based on existing music content, to automatically generate new music content. In some embodiments, a computer system accesses a set of music content and generates a set of composition rules based on analyzing combinations of multiple loops in the set of music content. In some embodiments, the system generates new music content by selecting loops from a set of loops and combining selected ones of the loops such that multiple ones of the loops overlap in time. In some embodiments, the selecting and combining loops is performed based on the set of composition rules and attributes of loops in the set of loops.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- accessing, by a computer system, a set of music content;
- generating, by the computer system, a set of composition rules based on analyzing combinations of a plurality of tracks in the set of music content, wherein the rules include rules for:
- selecting a number of tracks to overlay such that they play at the same time;
- selecting types of instruments from which to combine tracks;
- and
- selecting a next key for key progression;
- and
- generating, by the computer system, new output music content by selecting tracks from a set of tracks and combining selected ones of the tracks such that multiple ones of the tracks overlap in time, wherein the selecting and combining are performed based on the set of composition rules and attributes of tracks in the set of tracks.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that are executable by a computing device to perform operations comprising:
- accessing a set of music content;
- generating a set of composition rules based on analyzing combinations of a plurality of tracks in the set of music content, wherein the rules include rules for:
- selecting a number of tracks to overlay such that they play at the same time;
- selecting types of instruments from which to combine tracks;
- and
- selecting a next key for key progression;
- and
- generating new output music content by selecting tracks from a set of tracks and combining selected ones of the tracks such that multiple ones of the tracks overlap in time, wherein the selecting and combining are performed based on the set of composition rules and attributes of tracks in the set of tracks.
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories having program instructions stored thereon that are executable by the one or more processors to:
- access a set of music content;
- generate a set of composition rules based on analyzing combinations of a plurality of tracks in the set of music content, wherein the rules include rules for:
- selecting a number of tracks to overlay such that they play at the same time;
- selecting types of instruments from which to combine tracks;
- and
- selecting a next key for key progression;
- and
- generate new output music content by selecting tracks from a set of tracks and combining selected ones of the tracks such that multiple ones of the tracks overlap in time, wherein the selecting and combining are performed based on the set of composition rules and attributes of tracks in the set of tracks.
