A generative model for Indian Carnatic music using Finite State Machines. While, obviously, more sophisticated models could be built for generating (Indian classical) music, it is worth noting that this non-neural-network based approach is a plausible baseline at the very least.
Blog post explaining the approach - https://link.medium.com/oOsDnH1XdT
To try, install Music21 using pip and then from carnatic_fsm/carnatic_fsm run
python simulate_fsm.py abhogi aadi
This would simulate a pre-generate finite state machine for abhogi raagam set to aadi taalam's rhythm, and generate a midi file to listen to and also the musical score (requires museScore to be installed). Comment out line 101 in simulate_fsm.py if you just want the midi output.
Music generated using this model based in abhogi raagam is available here
This repo uses Music21 to programatically construct the musical piece and save it as a score as well as in midi format.
