This paper explores the idea of utilising Long Short-Term Memory neural networks (LSTMNN) for the generation of musical sequences in ABC notation. The proposed approach takes ABC notations from the Nottingham dataset and encodes it to beefed as input for the neural networks. The primary objective is to input the neural networks with an arbitrary note, let the network process and augment a sequence based on the note until a good piece of music is produced. Multiple tunings have been done to amend the parameters of the network for optimal generation. The output is assessed on the basis of rhythm, harmony, and grammar accuracy.
This paper explores the idea of utilising Long Short-Term Memory neural networks (LSTMNN) for the generation of musical sequences in ABC notation. The proposed approach takes ABC notations from the Nottingham dataset and encodes it to be fed as input for the neural networks. The primary objective is to input the neural networks with an arbitrary note, let the network process and augment a sequence based on the note until a good piece of music is produced. Multiple calibrations have been done to amend the parameters of the network for optimal generation. The output is assessed on the basis of rhythm, harmony, and grammar accuracy.
