AI Music Compositions

Curious to explore the potential of AI for music composition, I experimented with a neural network to generate new original music. The system was trained with a massive corpus (thousands) of existing music pieces. It then used that data as input to create new music compositions. Some of the results were pretty impressive with regards to musical structure and expression, some less so. The more successful examples can be found below: unedited generated pieces, all rendered from the raw output of the system using different instruments.

Piano

Orchestra

Note: The score images shown above are direct PDF renders of the generated midi file, they are of course 100% wrong in regard to proper musical notation and instrumentation.
