• Abstract: The Song Generation task aims to synthesize music composed of vocals and accompaniment from given lyrics. While the existing method, Jukebox, has explored this task, its constrained control over the generations often leads to deficiency in music performance. To mitigate the issue, we introduce an important concept from music composition, namely chords, to song generation networks. Chords form the foundation of accompaniment and provide vocal melody with associated harmony. Given the inaccuracy of automatic chord extractors, we devise a robust cross-attention mechanism augmented with dynamic weight sequence to integrate extracted chord information into song generations and reduce frame-level flaws, and propose a novel model termed Chord-Conditioned Song Generator (CSG) based on it. Experimental evidence demonstrates our proposed method outperforms other approaches in terms of musical performance and control precision of generated songs.

  SongCreator is a song-generation system designed to tackle the challenge of generating songs with both vocals and accompaniment given lyrics. The model features two novel designs: a meticulously designed dual-sequence language model (M) to capture the information of vocals and accompaniment for song generation, and a series of attention mask strategies for DSLM. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of SongCreator by achieving state-of-the-art or competitive performances on all eight tasks.

  We propose a method for generating high-quality lyrics without training on any aligned melody-lyric data. We leverage the segmentation and rhythm alignment between melody and lyrics to compile the given melody into decoding constraints. Our model can generate high-quality lyrics that are more on-topic, singable, intelligible, and coherent than strong baselines.

  Melody choralization, i.e. generating a four-part chorale based on a user-given melody, has long been closely associated with J.S. Bach chorales. Previous neural network-based systems rarely focus on chorale generation conditioned on a chord progression. We propose DeepChoir, a melody choralization system, which can generate a four-part chorale for a given melody conditioned on a chord progression.

  We present a novel approach for calculating the positivity or negativity of a chord progression within a lead sheet. Our approach is similar to a Neural Machine Translation (NMT) problem, as we include high-level conditions in the encoder part of the sequence-to-sequence architectures. The proposed strategy is able to generate lead sheets in a controllable manner, resulting in distributions of musical attributes similar to those of the training dataset.

  We present a model for composing melodies given a user specified symbolic scenario combined with a previous music context.

Results show that the music generated by our model tends to have salient repetition structures, rich motives, and stable rhythm patterns.
