Automatic Generation of Four-part Harmony

چکیده
This paper introduces decision-theoretic planning techniques into automatic music generation. Markov decision processes (MDPs) are a mathematical model of planning under uncertainty, and factored MDPs demonstrate great advantages in an environment where the state space is large. Given a melody, we use a factored MDP planner to fill in the other three voices, based on the characteristics of classical Western four-part harmony.

HARMONY: A System for Musical Composition
This paper describes HARMONY: a system that integrates the phases that take part in the creation of a musical composition. The kernel deals with automatic melody generation through fractal algorithms and harmonisation of generated melodies based on traditional theory. The system has been developed in Haskell and works on top of the musical description system Haskore. HARMONY: A System for Music...
متن کاملDeepBach: a Steerable Model for Bach Chorales Generation
The composition of polyphonic chorale music in the style of J.S Bach has represented a major challenge in automatic music composition over the last decades. The art of Bach chorales composition involves combining four-part harmony with characteristic rhythmic patterns and typical melodic movements to produce musical phrases which begin, evolve and end (cadences) in a harmonious way. To our know...
متن کاملAutomatic generation control of power system using a novel quasi-oppositional harmony search algorithm
The present work approaches a novel quasi-oppositional harmony search (QOHS) algorithm, as an optimization technique, for its optimum performance in the subject area of automatic generation control (AGC) of power system. The proposed QOHS algorithm is applied with an aim to converge rapidly towards the optimal solution(s) that houses both the characters of two guesses, i.e. opposite-point and q...

This paper describes AutoChorusCreator(ACC), a system capable of producing, in real-time, a variety of fourpart harmonies from lead sheet music. Current algorithms for generating four-part harmony have established a high standard in producing results following rules of harmony theories. However, it is still a challenging task to increase variation in the output. Detailed constraints for describ...

The operation of a distribution system in the presence of distributed generation systems has someadvantages and challenges. Optimal sizing and siting of DG systems has economic, technical, andenvironmental benefits in distribution systems. Improper selection of DG systems can reduce theseadvantages or even result in deterioration in the normal operation of the distribution system. DGallocation ...
