deepjazz

DeepJazz is a deep learning model that generates jazz music. It uses a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network to learn the patterns and structure of jazz music from a dataset of MIDI files, and then generates new, original jazz compositions.

Pros

• Generates Unique and Creative Jazz Music: The model is able to create novel jazz compositions that capture the essence of the genre, with unique melodies, harmonies, and rhythms.
• Flexible and Customizable: The project provides options to fine-tune the model, adjust the temperature of the generation, and generate music of different lengths and styles.
• Open-Source and Accessible: The project is available on GitHub, allowing for community contributions and further development.
• Potential for Music Education and Collaboration: The generated music can be used for educational purposes, as well as a starting point for human-AI collaborative music creation.

Cons

• Limited Dataset: The model is trained on a relatively small dataset of MIDI files, which may limit the diversity and complexity of the generated music.
• Lack of Real-Time Generation: The current implementation generates music in a non-real-time fashion, which may limit its practical applications.
• Potential for Biased or Unoriginal Output: As with any machine learning model, there is a risk of the generated music being biased or lacking true originality.
• Computational Complexity: Training and running the model can be computationally intensive, which may limit its accessibility for some users.

Code Examples

from deepjazz.model import JazzModel

# Load the pre-trained model
model = JazzModel()

# Generate a new jazz composition
generated_music = model.generate_music(length=120, temperature=0.8)

# Save the generated music to a MIDI file
generated_music.write('generated_jazz.mid')

This code demonstrates how to load the pre-trained JazzModel, generate a new jazz composition, and save it to a MIDI file.

from deepjazz.dataset import JazzDataset

# Load the jazz dataset
dataset = JazzDataset()

# Train the model on the dataset
model.train(dataset, epochs=50, batch_size=64)

This code shows how to load the jazz dataset and train the JazzModel on the data.

from deepjazz.utils import visualize_generated_music

# Generate some music and visualize it
generated_music = model.generate_music(length=120, temperature=0.5)
visualize_generated_music(generated_music)

This code generates some music and visualizes the resulting MIDI data using the visualize_generated_music function.

Getting Started

To get started with DeepJazz, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/jisungk/deepjazz.git

2. Install the required dependencies:

cd deepjazz
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Download the pre-trained model:

python download_model.py

4. Generate some jazz music:

from deepjazz.model import JazzModel

model = JazzModel()
generated_music = model.generate_music(length=120, temperature=0.8)
generated_music.write('generated_jazz.mid')

5. (Optional) Train the model on your own dataset:

from deepjazz.dataset import JazzDataset

dataset = JazzDataset()
model.train(dataset, epochs=50, batch_size=64)

That's it! You can now experiment with the DeepJazz model, generate new jazz compositions, and even fine-tune the model on your own data.
