• Authors: Kun Su, Xiulong Liu, Eli Shlizerman
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel system that takes as an input body movements of a musician playing a musical instrument and generates music in an unsupervised setting. We build a pipeline named 'Multi-instrumentalistNet' that learns a discrete latent representation of various instruments music from log-spectrogram. We show that a Midi can further condition the latent space such that the pipeline will generate the exact content of the music being played by the instrument in the video.

• Abstract: We propose a novel system that takes as an input body movements of a musician playing a musical instrument and generates music in an unsupervised setting. Learning to generate multi-instrumental music from videos without labeling the instruments is a challenging problem. To achieve the transformation, we built a pipeline named 'Multi-instrumentalistNet' (MI Net). At its base, the pipeline learns a discrete latent representation of various instruments music from log-spectrogram using a Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder (VQ-VAE) with multi-band residual blocks. The pipeline is then trained along with an autoregressive prior conditioned on the musician's body keypoints movements encoded by a recurrent neural network. Joint training of the prior with the body movements encoder succeeds in the disentanglement of the music into latent features indicating the musical components and the instrumental features. The latent space results in distributions that are clustered into distinct instruments from which new music can be generated. Furthermore, the VQ-VAE architecture supports detailed music generation with additional conditioning. We show that a Midi can further condition the latent space such that the pipeline will generate the exact content of the music being played by the instrument in the video. We evaluate MI Net on two datasets containing videos of 13 instruments and obtain generated music of reasonable audio quality, easily associated with the corresponding instrument, and consistent with the music audio content.

• Musika! Fast Infinite Waveform Music Generation [0.0]
  We introduce Musika, a music generation system that can be trained on hundreds of hours of music using a single consumer GPU. We achieve this by first learning a compact invertible representation of spectrogram magnitudes and phases with adversarial autoencoders. A latent coordinate system enables generating arbitrarily long sequences of excerpts in parallel, while a global context vector allows the music to remain stylistically coherent through time.

In addition to the online, real-time-capable setting for performative use cases, automatic instrumentation can also find applications in assistive composing tools in an offline setting. We frame the task of part separation as a sequential multi-class classification problem and adopt machine learning to map sequences of notes into sequences of part labels.
