Contest Brief

Need a video where you create an original piece of music with the help of [login to view URL], which is a website that you can use to create melodies automatically. The site uses a new technology that takes in training data in the form of MIDI (you can select from a list or upload your own). It then generates a melody, however to create something that really sounds good, the melody should be doctored up some, perhaps by adding harmony, percussion etc. The video should demonstrate the process of create the music from start to finish. Looking for you to blend your own creativity with the result of the tool to get something that sounds good.

How to deliever:

I'll use youtube to view the entries and select a winner. Once the winner is selected, I'll ask for the source video file.



Length of musical piece:

The length is whatever you want. It seems to me that approximately 2-3 minutes is reasonable, but use your own judgement.



Number of pieces:

You may create multiple pieces if that helps you explain the system, only one is required.



Adding Signature:

You can put your own name/signature on the video if you want. Your choice.
