Abstract

Music For Me is an online web application that enables users to compose improvised music alongside an AI. Users have an array of understandable, easy to use yet powerful options available to them. While previous AI-collaborative music improvisation tools exist, they are either limited in scope, with minimal structure and user customization or completely overwhelming with a large amount of provided options so as to be inaccessible except to those dedicated to learning the program. This web application provides an intersection between these two extremes, providing a pick-up and play model that allows for a rich improvisational experience while still presenting an easy-to-use and understandable interface.
