Teaching PCs To Play Accompaniment Music
from the sounds-good dept
Teaching a computer to accompany a human musician is apparently no easy task. However, here's the story of one guy who has built a system that not only accompanies a human musician, but also learns from them and can predict how they'll play certain notes in order to better accompany them in the same way that a real human musician would. Now, the creator of the program is hoping that it will "pass the musical Turing test" where listeners won't be able to tell that a computer is accompanying.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
