Please visit our GitHub repository for more information on our process:https://github.com/mstrcyork/ai-song-contest-2021 Genre Pop Comment by JemilyRime All the sax riffs and solos were assembled from samples generated using Chris Donahue's WaveGAN model, an audio-domain adaptation of the DCGAN architecture. An audio dataset of ~2hrs' length was created by Mark Hanslip, who recorded himself playing tenor saxophone in the intended key and tempo of the eventual song, applied some audio pre-processing (data augmentation, concatenation, silence truncation, resampling, chunking), and trained a WaveGAN on a single Titan RTX for ~4 days on the resulting dataset. 2021-05-18T10:49:07Z Comment by JemilyRime Middle 8 chords: “infirm”.
