Québec Traditional Music and Algorithmic Composition
jPense
“Between memory and invention, music becomes a space for exploration.”
jPense unites two distinct realms: a carefully chosen collection of traditional Quebecois music, selected for its cultural and musical value, and a research project on automatic music composition using recurrent neural networks, which was developed before the advent of deep learning.
These two approaches complement each other, bringing together the living heritage of traditional music and the cutting-edge technology of deep learning.
