Writing a program that analyzes traditional Scottish music and composes new tunes in the same style. Right now I'm in the careful planning phase--reading up on LSTM recurrent neural networks and such, but I should be able to start coding shortly (at the very least I can do all the software engineering parts while I figure out what the best algorithm to use is).
I'm not deluding myself about its long-term non-profitability...I'm just doing it because I find it fascinating. At least there's no hosting cost--I already have a laptop running SBCL and Emacs, which is all I need.
- kkoppenhaver 14y agoAs a former music composition major, I find this fascinating. Exploring where creation as humans ends and what can be composed using a set of rules is an interesting boundary to me. Best of luck to you!
- rvid 14y agoThat's really interesting. Will you be open-sourcing this?
- tsm 14y agoThanks. I am planning to open -source it once I start coding.
