• Abstract summary: We present Dance2Music-GAN (D2M-GAN), a novel adversarial multi-modal framework that generates musical samples conditioned on dance videos. Our proposed framework takes dance video frames and human body motion as input, and learns to generate music samples that plausibly accompany the corresponding input.

• Abstract: We present Dance2Music-GAN (D2M-GAN), a novel adversarial multi-modal framework that generates complex musical samples conditioned on dance videos. Our proposed framework takes dance video frames and human body motion as input, and learns to generate music samples that plausibly accompany the corresponding input. Unlike most existing conditional music generation works that generate specific types of mono-instrumental sounds using symbolic audio representations (e.g., MIDI), and that heavily rely on pre-defined musical synthesizers, in this work we generate dance music in complex styles (e.g., pop, breakdancing, etc.) by employing a Vector Quantized (VQ) audio representation, and leverage both its generality and the high abstraction capacity of its symbolic and continuous counterparts. By performing an extensive set of experiments on multiple datasets, and following a comprehensive evaluation protocol, we assess the generative quality of our approach against several alternatives. The quantitative results, which measure the music consistency, beats correspondence, and music diversity, clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method. Last but not least, we curate a challenging dance-music dataset of in-the-wild TikTok videos, which we use to further demonstrate the efficacy of our approach in real-world applications - and which we hope to serve as a starting point for relevant future research.

  This paper presents MuVi, a framework to generate music that aligns with video content. MuVi analyzes video content through a specially designed visual adaptor to extract contextually and temporally relevant features. We show that MuVi demonstrates superior performance in both audio quality and temporal synchronization.

  We propose a Quaternion-Enhanced Attention Network (QEAN) for visual dance synthesis from a quaternion perspective. First, SPE embeds position information into self-attention in a rotational manner, leading to better learning of features of movement sequences and audio sequences. Second, QRA represents and fuses 3D motion features and audio features in the form of a series of quaternions, enabling the model to better learn the temporal coordination of music and dance.
