Abstract

In this paper, we propose MusicMean, a system that fuses existing songs to create an "in-between song" such as an "average song," by calculating the average acoustic pitch of musical notes and the occurrence frequency of drum elements from multiple MIDI songs. We generate an inbetween song for generative music by defining rules based on simple music theory. The system realizes the interactive generation of in-between songs. This represents new interaction between human and digital content. Using MusicMean, users can create personalized songs by fusing their favorite songs.
