INTRODUCTION

◆ Chord symbols provide basic guides to musical harmony

◆ There are various ways to interpret chord symbols

RESEARCH AIM

◆ Generating jazz voicings from chord symbols (triads only)

METHODS

◆ Compiling chord voicings in pop-jazz sheet music

◆ Two-stage jazzification (coloring and voicing) using supervised learning

THE NEW DATASET

◆ 50 pop-jazz piano solos

◆ 6700 chords (796 phrases)

TWO-STAGE CHORD JAZZIFICATION

COLORING

Selecting a set of pitchclasses (pi) and a bass (bi)for the rendering of eachchord symbol

CONCLUSION

◆ By formulating the chord jazzification as two-stage classification problems,we showed that the proposed framework is capable of generating jazzvoicings directly from chord symbols.

◆ The chord jazzification can be applied to scenarios such as music performingand composing.
