• Title: LyricJam Sonic: A Generative System for Real-Time Composition and Musical Improvisation
• Authors: Olga Vechtomova, Gaurav Sahu
• Abstract summary: LyricJam Sonic is a novel tool for musicians to rediscover previous recordings, re-contextualize them with other recordings, and create original live music compositions in real-time. A bi-modal AI-driven approach uses generated lyric lines to find matching audio clips from the artist's past studio recordings. The intent is to keep the artists in a state of creative flow to music creation rather than taking them into an analytical/critical state of deliberately searching for past audio segments.

• Abstract: Electronic music artists and sound designers have unique workflow practices that necessitate specialized approaches for developing music information retrieval and creativity support tools. Furthermore, electronic music instruments, such as modular synthesizers, have near-infinite possibilities for sound creation and can be combined to create unique and complex audio paths. The process of discovering interesting sounds is often serendipitous and impossible to replicate. For this reason, many musicians in electronic genres record audio output at all times while they work in the studio. Subsequently, it is difficult for artists to rediscover audio segments that might be suitable for use in their compositions from thousands of hours of recordings. In this paper, we describe LyricJam Sonic -- a novel creative tool for musicians to rediscover their previous recordings, re-contextualize them with other recordings, and create original live music compositions in real-time. A bi-modal AI-driven approach uses generated lyric lines to find matching audio clips from the artist's past studio recordings, and uses them to generate new lyric lines, which in turn are used to find other clips, thus creating a continuous and evolving stream of music and lyrics. The intent is to keep the artists in a state of creative flow conducive to music creation rather than taking them into an analytical/critical state of deliberately searching for past audio segments. The system can run in either a fully autonomous mode without user input, or in a live performance mode, where the artist plays live music, while the system "listens" and creates a continuous stream of music and lyrics in response.

  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 compare the effect of applying CLMR and CLAP embeddings to similarity measurement in a set of 5 million audio clips used to train VampNet. This work is to incorporate automated influence attribution into generative modeling, which promises to let model creators and users move from ignorant appropriation to informed creation.

  We introduce the Music Audio Representation Benchmark for universaL Evaluation, termed MARBLE. It aims to provide a benchmark for various Music Information Retrieval (MIR) tasks by defining a comprehensive taxonomy with four hierarchy levels, including acoustic, performance, score, and high-level description. We then establish a unified protocol based on 14 tasks on 8 public-available datasets, providing a fair and standard assessment of representations of all open-sourced pre-trained models developed on music recordings as baselines.

  Symbolic music generation aims to create musical notes, which can help users compose music. We introduce a framework known as GETMusic, with GET'' standing for GEnerate music Tracks'' GETScore represents musical notes as tokens and organizes tokens in a 2D structure, with tracks stacked vertically and progressing horizontally over time. Our proposed representation, coupled with the non-autoregressive generative model, empowers GETMusic to generate music with any arbitrary source-target track combinations.

  Key challenge in melody transcription is building methods which can handle broad audio containing any number of instrument ensembles and musical styles. To confront this challenge, we leverage representations from Jukebox (Dhariwal et al. 2020), a generative model of broad music audio. We derive a new dataset containing $50$ hours of melody transcriptions from crowdsourced annotations of broad music.

We provide empirical evidence for our method via a set of experiments on music and we deploy our model for an interactive jam session with a professional drummer.
