Method of and system for spotting digital media objects and event markers using musical experience descriptors to characterize digital music to be automatically composed and generated by an automated music composition and generation engine
First Claim
1. An automated music composition and generation system for spotting a digital media object or event marker with one or more musical experience descriptors during a scoring process using musical experience descriptors to characterize one or more pieces of digital music to be automatically composed and generated by an automated music composition and generation engine, for use in scoring said digital media object or event marker, said automated music composition and generation system comprising:
- an automated music composition and generation engine configured for receiving, as inputs, musical experience descriptors being selected by a system user while spotting a digital media object or event marker during a scoring process, and producing, as output, one or more pieces of digital music automatically composed and generated by said automated music composition and generation engine based on said selected musical experience descriptors supplied to said automated music composition and generation engine; and
a system user interface, operably connected to said automated music composition and generation engine, and configured for (i) selecting a digital media object or event marker to be scored with pieces of digital music automatically composed and generated by said automated music composition and generation engine, (ii) selecting said musical experience descriptors from a group consisting of emotion-type musical experience descriptors, style-type musical experience descriptors, timing-type musical experience descriptors, and accent-type musical experience descriptors, (iii) applying the selected musical experience descriptors to said selected digital media object or event marker, and (iv) providing the selected musical experience descriptors to said automated music composition and generation engine and automatically composing and generating one or more pieces of digital music characterized by said selected musical experience descriptors, and for musically scoring said selected digital media object or event marker to produce a musically-scored digital media object or event marker;
wherein after selecting said digital media object or event marker, and during spotting of said selected digital media object or event marker,(i) selecting and applying one or more of said musical experience descriptors to said selected digital media object or event marker to indicate when and how particular musical events should occur in said one or more pieces of digital music automatically composed and generated by said automated music composition and generation engine, for musically scoring said selected digital media object or event marker;
(ii) providing said selected and applied musical experience descriptors to said automated music composition and generation engine, and(iii) said automated music composition and generation engine automatically composing and generating one or more pieces of digital music characterized by said selected and applied musical experience descriptors.
