Hey Wally 👍

Just wanted to say hi and thank you for your great work on MIDIGenerator. I think it has great potential and I will definitely follow your project.

Check out my Github as I am also working on similar music projects which may be of interest to you.

And if you want to colab/chat/exchange ideas/knowledge - def. let me know :)

Sincerely,

Alex

Hey Asigalov

Glad you find it interesting! The repo is really messy, I was a bit confused with what approach to take so it was on the backburner for a while, but you can expect some new updates soon.

I fixed most of the issues currently plaguing the repo with b8eebf80c286c07f34ee768b9de1e5ee12d01552 and 3874fedc972ede6b7668a599cfafd8b5146e35dd (Replaced MidiStructurer reference by MusiStrata, and fixed usage of deprecated functions), so SampleTest.py and Test_SectionComponents.py are working properly now, and they contain the 2 approaches I was thinking about when I started working on this, so you can check it out now! Generated samples are pretty random for now, but I'll replace them soon.

I took a look at your github and it's full of interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely spend some time going through your repos!

Sincerely, William

Hey William,

Yes, thank you so much for a prompt reply and for fixing the issues. Much appreciated. I will try to run the generator again and I will let you know if there are any problems. And thank you for the info.

Yes, algo music is not easy and it's a brand new field of study so there are a lot of unknowns and outright brand new things to figure out. So do not feel bad if you lose your direction once in a while...it just takes perseverance and time from my experience.

And definitely check out my repos as I collected I think all of GitHub in regard to computer music generation and music composition and there is a lot of things that can be learned from all that stuff. I did huge progress IMHO with generating interesting and listenable music so, I think there is a lot of potential in the algorithmic approach.

Please let me know if you will find any of my stuff interesting and if you want to colab as I am interested in working together with someone on one of these projects.

Anyway, thank you again for your response and fixes.

Sincerely,

Alex

Yes, it works! Thank you so much! And it does generate nice melodies and chords, all things considered. I know that it is a work in progress so do not sweat it...take your time.

I use AI techniques in my algo generator but your formula is a solid approach too, so definitely work on it 👍

And please let me know if you have any questions or if you need help with anything related to algo music. I will be happy to help however I can

thanks.
