Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose a method for generating monophonic melodies that are similar to those in a music dataset. Our method takes a monophonic melody and converts it to an image where each note is represented by a rectangle whose height and width encode the pitch and length, and color encodes the pitch name. By dropping rectangles, performing inpainting via pix2pix network and making adjustments for each bar region in the image one by one, we generate an image representing a new melody. For evaluating our method, we employed a dataset of fork music and performed experiments for seven subjects. As a result, several melodies were evaluated to be similar to those in the dataset.
