Johann Sebastian Bach went down in history as one of the best composers of baroque music, with a technical mastery of harmony is impressive, and more than 300 compositions for choirs short, a style that dominated to perfection.
Now his compositions are back in vogue, but this time between the computer scientists, who have decided to use them to better understand the interaction between the harmony and the melody and classes given to an artificial intelligence engine.
Comment on MIT News that there are two professionals, Gaetan Hadjeres and Francois Pachet, Sony Computer Science Laboratories in Paris, have decided to create a neural network capable of producing cantatas, chorales in the style of Bach, and demonstrate on video:
The machine already has to name: DeepBach, an "artificial brain" that has been trained with the chorale harmonizations of Bach to get to deceive a human expert, something that they can currently.
to train DeepBach used 352 choral composed by the artist, and then used data varied within a vocal range predefined to generate over 2,500 corals. Used 80% of the melodies to train your neural network, the rest to validate it.
To test the result, asked 1,600 people to hear two harmonies of the same melody, 400 of them professional musicians or students of music, and had to define which of the two harmonies sounded more like Bach. More than half of the voters said that the music of DeepBach was composed by Bach.
Is it possible for a machine to be able to compose music in the future?, everything seems to indicate that yes, until another genius able to fool the brains of all kinds, whether natural or artificial.
