Generating structured music for bagana using quality metrics based on Markov models

作者：

Highlights：

• We combine machine learning and optimization techniques to generate music.

• We study novel ways of using a Markov model to construct an objective function.

• A Markov model is combined with repetitive and cyclic aspects of a music template.

• We show the effectiveness of the methods on Ethiopian bagana songs.
