After making the Pianola network project, I came to the idea of the RaspberryPi music box for the infinite neural network music generation.
Basically, I used the same VAE-like neural network approach as in our Neyro-Skryabin performance, but I had to squeeze it into a raspPi3 box and tune the model to make the near real-time NN-generation of an endless stream of midi music.
As a hardware, I took a RaspberryPi 3 Starter Kit and some Leadsound’s speaker like this. As a software, I had to setup Tensorflow for ARMv7l and used mido+pygame to play the music aloud.
