  • Method of generating music data
    Patent number: 11887566
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating a piece of music is disclosed. The method comprises: determining an initial sequence of notes for the piece of music; determining at least one probability distribution for selecting at least one subsequent note from a set of candidate notes; generating a biasing output based on data of the initial sequence of notes; and extending the initial sequence of notes with at least one subsequent note selected from the set of candidate notes according to the probability distribution and the biasing output, wherein the biasing output biases the selection so as to affect the likelihood of the selection resulting in a repeat of a musical element formed by the initial sequence of notes.
