Introduction

Music is an integral part of human expression, and this project aims to create an AI-based music composer that can generate melodies in various genres. The generated music can be saved as MIDI files and can serve as a starting point for further music composition and creativity.

Features

• Generates unique melodies based on pre-trained models.
• Allows user input for preferred genre and tempo.
• Adds chord progressions based on the chosen genre to create harmonic accompaniments.
• Includes a simple drum pattern for rhythmic accompaniment.
• Outputs generated music as MIDI files.

Installation

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

2. Install the required dependencies:

pip install magenta

Usage

To generate music pieces using the AI-based music composer, run the following command:

python music_composer.py

The script will prompt you to enter your preferred genre and tempo (BPM) for music generation.

User Input

The script allows you to input your preferred genre, which can be one of the following:

• Classical
• Jazz
• Rock Additionally, you can specify the tempo (in BPM) for the generated music.

Chord Progressions

The chosen genre determines the chord progression for the generated music. Currently, the supported chord progressions are:

• Classical: ["C", "Am", "F", "G"]
• Jazz: ["Cmaj7", "Dm7", "Em7", "A7"]
• Rock: ["C", "G", "Am", "F"] You can modify or extend these chord progressions in the music_composer.py file.

Drum Accompaniment

The music pieces include a basic drum pattern for rhythmic accompaniment. The drum pattern consists of a kick drum (36) and hi-hat (42). You can adjust the drum pattern in the music_composer.py file to create different rhythms.

Generated Music

The generated music will be saved as MIDI files in the generated_music directory. Each music piece will have a unique file name, such as music_piece_1.mid, music_piece_2.mid, and so on.
