In the Traces of Leoš Janáček - Conversion of Speech to Music
Marciniak, Petr ; Glembek, Ondřej (referee) ; Černocký, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to develop an application, which will automatically convert speech recording in WAV format to speech-melody-based music in MIDI format. At first, the problem is analyzed and the theoretical background is described. Basics of music generation from speech are introduced. Initial experiments like creation of the elementary melody, averaging of tones, syllables detection, etc. are discussed in order to establish, which of these techniques have a positive impact on the resulting music and therefore should be implemented in the resulting application. Basic criteria of beauty in music generation needed to be defined and different compositional techniques such as inversion of notes or tempo changes were investigated. Further, the implementation is described and user testing is evaluated. The conclusions are drawn and future directions of development are discussed. The user manual for the application as well as a "cook book" listing tools used in the application development can be found in the Appendix.
