Generating electronica: a virtual producer and virtual DJ

Abstract

We present a virtual Electronic Dance Music (EDM) producer that generates stylistically accurate Breakbeat music. GESMI, the Generative Electronica Statistical Modeling Instrument, uses a corpus of human-analysed Breakbeat tracks dating from 1994--2010: the system learns relevant musical information in order to produce a wide variety of music within the genre using knowledge culled from the transcriptions.
