Abstract:
A system for automatically generating music on the basis of an initial note sequence input, the system including:a score interpreter for interpreting each note in the initial input sequence, thereby to generate current note pitch data, current note duration data and current note musical context data;a rhythm production part for generating a subsequent note duration output on the basis of the current note duration data, the current musical context data and note duration information stored in state units associated with the rhythm production part;a note generation part for generating a subsequent note on the basis of the subsequent note duration output, the current note pitch data, the current note musical context data, the current note duration data, and duration and pitch information stored in state units associated with the note generation part; andfeedback means for feeding the pitch and duration of the subsequent note back to the rhythm generation and note generation parts, the subsequent note thereby becoming the current note for a following iteration.
