• Abstract: The two main research threads in computer-based music generation are: the construction of autonomous music-making systems, and the design of computer-based environments to assist musicians. In the symbolic domain, the key problem of automatically arranging a piece music was extensively studied, while relatively fewer systems tackled this challenge in the audio domain. In this contribution, we propose CycleDRUMS, a novel method for generating drums given a bass line. After converting the waveform of the bass into a mel-spectrogram, we are able to automatically generate original drums that follow the beat, sound credible and can be directly mixed with the input bass. We formulated this task as an unpaired image-to-image translation problem, and we addressed it with CycleGAN, a well-established unsupervised style transfer framework, originally designed for treating images. The choice to deploy raw audio and mel-spectrograms enabled us to better represent how humans perceive music, and to potentially draw sounds for new arrangements from the vast collection of music recordings accumulated in the last century. In absence of an objective way of evaluating the output of both generative adversarial networks and music generative systems, we further defined a possible metric for the proposed task, partially based on human (and expert) judgement. Finally, as a comparison, we replicated our results with Pix2Pix, a paired image-to-image translation network, and we showed that our approach outperforms it.

  We are inspired by how musicians compose music not just from a movie script, but also through visualizations. We propose MeLFusion, a model that can effectively use cues from a textual description and the corresponding image to synthesize music. Our exhaustive experimental evaluation suggests that adding visual information to the music synthesis pipeline significantly improves the quality of generated music.

  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.
