TLDR
Algorithmic composition is the partial or total automation of the process of music composition by using computers as discussed by the authors, which can be classified into three main categories: partial or complete automation, automation, and complete automation.
Abstract
Algorithmic composition is the partial or total automation of the process of music composition by using computers. Since the 1950s, different computational techniques related to Artificial Intelligence have been used for algorithmic composition, including grammatical representations, probabilistic methods, neural networks, symbolic rule-based systems, constraint programming and evolutionary algorithms. This survey aims to be a comprehensive account of research on algorithmic composition, presenting a thorough view of the field for researchers in Artificial Intelligence.

Deep Learning Techniques for Music Generation - A Survey

TL;DR: This paper is a survey and an analysis of different ways of using deep learning (deep artificial neural networks) to generate musical content, based on the analysis of many existing deep-learning based systems for music generation selected from the relevant literature.

Counterpoint by Convolution

TL;DR: This model is an instance of orderless NADE, which allows more direct ancestral sampling, and finds that Gibbs sampling greatly improves sample quality, which is demonstrated to be due to some conditional distributions being poorly modeled.

Generating Polyphonic Music Using Tied Parallel Networks

TL;DR: A neural network architecture which enables prediction and composition of polyphonic music in a manner that preserves translation-invariance of the dataset and attains high performance at a musical prediction task and successfully creates note sequences which possess measure-level musical structure.

A Functional Taxonomy of Music Generation Systems

TL;DR: A functional taxonomy for music generation systems with reference to existing systems is presented, which organizes systems according to the purposes for which they were designed and reveals the inter-relatedness amongst the systems.

Conditional LSTM-GAN for Melody Generation from Lyrics

TL;DR: A novel deep generative model, conditional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)–Generative Adversarial Network for melody generation from lyrics is proposed, which contains a deep LSTM generator and a deep DSTM discriminator both conditioned on lyrics.

A Generative Theory of Tonal Music

TL;DR: Aboitiz et al. as discussed by the authors explored the relationships between language, music, and the brain by pursuing four key themes and the crosstalk among them: song and dance as a bridge between music and language; multiple levels of structure from brain to behavior to culture; the semantics of internal and external worlds and the role of emotion; and the evolution and development of language.

GenJam: A Genetic Algorithm for Generating Jazz Solos

TL;DR: GenJam is a genetic algorithm-based model of a novice jazz musician learning to improvise that maintains hierarchically related populations of melodic ideas that are mapped to specific notes through scales suggested by the chord progression being played.
