Over the weekend, I was preparing to add more knowledge to my program&#8217;s melodic knowledge database, but then I thought: Wait a sec.  If the knowledge in the knowledge database comes from patterns found in other melodies, why not create a knowledge database from the patterns found in <em>that<\/em> database?  That way we&#8217;d only need a small database, and we can have the program create random melodic knowledge from it.  Does that make sense?  I have no idea if it will work or not, but I&#8217;ll give it a try, so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ll be working on today: a melodic knowledge generator.  I&#8217;ll try to have more musical examples by tonight or tomorrow night (or&#8230; later).<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading update #4. I will keep the blog informed of any and all progress made on this revolutionary product.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, I wrote some melodies over the weekend and started to hear a piece in my head, so I finally bought <a href=\"http:\/\/www.garritan.com\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;view=article&#038;id=151&#038;Itemid=169\">Garritan World Instruments<\/a>, which I hope to use soon.  I should be saving my money, but when you&#8217;re high on your own melodies playing through your mind, you sometimes just can&#8217;t help it.  And Garritan products are at least priced awesomely for the amount of stuff you get.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s week 2 of melody generator programming fun!
