Project Pages
- Dataset of Artificial Audio Multitracks (AAM)
The dataset contains 3,000 artificial music audio tracks with rich annotations. It is based on real instrument samples and generated by algorithmic composition with respect to music theory.
- ArtificialSongGenerator (Github)
Algorithmic music composition tool used to compile the AAM dataset.
- EAR Drummer (Github) (YouTube demo, more audio demos)
EAR Drummer is a interactive music system that generates rhythmical drum patterns and bass lines. It produces midi output that provides backing music to accompany a Jazz soloist in realtime. It uses Evolutionary Computing, is fully Autonomous and Reacts to midi input.
