ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods of evolving music tracks are disclosed. One example method providing a plurality of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Each of the ANNs uses a time signature input. The method also includes producing a rhythm from each of the plurality of ANNs. The method also includes evolving a next generation of ANNs based upon a user selection of one of the plurality of rhythms and upon the previous generation of ANNs. An example system includes a plurality of Compositional Pattern Producing Networks (CPPNs). Each of the CPPNs uses a time signature input to produce a rhythm. The system also includes logic configured to receive a selection of one or more of the CPPN, and logic configured to generate at least one evolved CPPN based upon the selection.
