I thought it was neat for a few seconds, but then it got stale really quickly.
But then I listened to the original (the track used to train the network) and realized the problem: the network only knows how to write one song. What you hear on SoundCloud is the equivalent of giving someone a 5 paragraph essay, and then telling them to write a 10,000 word paper using only sentences contained in that essay.
Supposing that this program can accept more than 1 song in its training data, I expect it could produce really interesting stuff.
- mpdehaan2 11y agoYeah it's kind of pixelizing an existing song. What I really want to do is teach a program to jam and know what sounds good - which is a lot harder. But there's a part of music where human soul needs to be, and that is interesting too, and some of the expression stuff is harder to do in MIDI land, you can modulate a filter cutoff or velocity or something - but compared to a live player there is a LOT of work to do.
