We propose the Multi-Track Music Machine (MMM), a generative system based on the Transformer architecture that is capable of generating multi-track music. In contrast to previous work, which represents musical material as a single time-ordered sequence, where the musical events corresponding to different tracks are interleaved, we create a time-ordered sequence of musical events for each track and concatenate several tracks into a single sequence. This takes advantage of the Transformer's attention-mechanism, which can adeptly handle long-term dependencies. We explore how various representations can offer the user a high degree of control at generation time, providing an interactive demo that accommodates track-level and bar-level inpainting, and offers control over track instrumentation and note density.

  1. The Florence Price Art Song Dataset and Piano Accompaniment Generator

    cs.SD 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new digital catalog of 112 Florence Price art songs is released, and a fine-tuned AI model produces accompaniments that the authors' blind test rated as more reflective of Price's style than a baseline's.

  2. Moonbeam: A MIDI Foundation Model Using Both Absolute and Relative Music Attributes

    cs.SD 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Moonbeam is a MIDI foundation model that combines a note-value tokenizer with multidimensional relative attention, and it outperforms prior large music models on most tested classification and generation tasks.

  3. Exploring the Needs of Practising Musicians in Co-Creative AI Through Co-Design

    cs.HC 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A co-design study with 13 practising musicians produced a variation tool and design insights, including that musicians want AI framed as a tool, not a collaborator, and want control over the creative process.
