Our story
We started out with the intention of creating an AI that could complete Mozart’s unfinished composition Lacrimosa — the eighth sequence of the Requiem — which was written only till the eighth bar at the time of his passing.
We ended up creating a deep neural network called maia — play on the term ‘music ai’ — that can generate original piano solo compositions by learning patterns of harmony, rhythm, and style from a corpus of classical music by composers like Mozart, Chopin, and Bach.
We approached this problem by framing music generation as a language modeling problem. The idea is to encode midi files into a vocabulary of tokens and have the neural network predict the next token in a sequence from thousands of midi-files.
