Music technique responsible for versioning

A method for versioning audio elements used in generation of music, the method comprising:

• receiving, by an audio element generation engine, musical format data associated with a plurality of audio elements of a melody;
• determining, by the audio element generation engine, based on the musical format data, harmonic and melodic characteristics of each of the plurality of audio elements;
• matching, by the audio element generation engine, the harmonic and melodic characteristics to a plurality of chord progressions using predetermined music theory rules, counterpoint rules, and rhythm matching rules;
• based on the matching and predetermined melodic movement rules, deriving, by the audio element generation engine, from the plurality of chord progressions, melodic movement characteristics applicable to use in versioning;
• and
• based on the predetermined music theory rules and the melodic movement characteristics, creating, by the audio element generation engine, versions of the audio elements that match the chord progressions.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive musical format data associated with a plurality of audio elements of a melody;
• determine, based on the musical format data, harmonic and melodic characteristics of each of the plurality of audio elements;
• match the harmonic and melodic characteristics to a plurality of chord progressions using predetermined music theory rules, counterpoint rules, and rhythm matching rules;
• based on the matching and predetermined melodic movement rules, derive, from the plurality of chord progressions, melodic movement characteristics applicable to using in versioning;
• and
• based on the predetermined music theory rules and the melodic movement characteristics, create versions of the audio elements that match the chord progressions.
