Abstract
Automated creation of new music by listening is disclosed. A method to create new music may comprise listening to a plurality of music, learning from the plurality of music, and performing concatenative synthesis based on the listening and the learning to create the new music. The method may be performed on a computing device having an audio interface, such as a personal computer.

10. A method performed by a computing device to create new music, the method comprising:
-
the computing device listening to a plurality of music including receiving through an audio interface live or recorded music or reading a music file from a storage medium, wherein listening includes performing signal processing of the plurality of music preparing segmented audio descriptors for the plurality of music recognizing patterns in the plurality of music the computing device learning from the plurality of music, wherein the learning includes preparing additional segmented audio descriptors for the plurality of music recognizing additional patterns in the plurality of music classifying clusters in the plurality of music based on the additional segmented audio descriptors and the additional patterns the computing device performing concatenative synthesis based on the segmented audio descriptors and sound segments prepared during the listening and the learning to create the new music, wherein the concatenative analysis includes performing beat matching analysis on the sound segments and the segmented audio descriptors performing time scaling of the sound segments and the segmented audio descriptors performing cross synthesis of the sound segments and the segmented audio descriptors.
