Usage

Lyric Generator

./lyric-generator/run.sh ARTIST

will generate random lyrics based on the artists lyrics, use text to speech to create a audio file of them and then modify it to sound nicer.

If there is no ARTIST parameter, the default artist is 'Chvrches'.

Melody Generator

The melody generator uses a RNN with Tensorflow for character-level language models. The RNN uses this cleaned version of the ABC version of the Nottingham Music Database. The melody is converted to wav using https://github.com/leesavide/abcmidi and Timitidy.

To generate a random ABC notation run:

./melody-generator/run.sh
