Svati is inspired by Indian astronomical Nakshatras. There are 27 Nakshatras, corresponding to astronomical objects. Svati corresponds to Arcturus, a red super-giant star in the constellation of Boötes. The structure of the piece is derived mathematically from the Farey fractal.S. Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2.

Google Brain’s Magenta, a research project exploring the role of machine learning in the process of creating art and music, was the basis of the compositional process for this Metaludio. A dataset consisting of a large body of MIDI data drawn from existing Metaludios was used to train several Magenta models. The training lasted for approximately 48 hours. Subsequently, hundreds of MIDI files were generated, of which three were finally selected. To improve readability, these MIDI files were then re-notated in Sibelius (notation software), adding phrasing, pedalling (based on the MIDI sustain information) and some expression marks. The music has also been redistributed between the hands in a more pianistic, practical way. Other than that, no modifications have been made to the original machine-generated MIDI files in terms of rhythm, tempo, pitch, dynamics, and pedal (sustain) information. As a composer, I am both fascinated and mystified by the result. I can clearly hear reminiscences of other Metaludios, although nothing is ever repeated literally. It is evident that the algorithm has learnt from the dataset and it is able to generate material “in my own style”. I believe that machine learning has a great potential as a creative tool for the composer. The hidden state of a Long Short-Term Memory network represents the output of a cell or layer of cells. Recurring Neural Networks have looping mechanisms that act like a highway to allow information to flow from one step to the next. This information is the hidden state, which is a representation of previous inputs. The other two pieces (titled “Long Short-Term Memory” and “Forget gate”), together with “Hidden States” make up a three-movement work entitled “AI Sonata”. “Long Short-Term Memory” and “Forget gate” will be featured in Book VI of Metaludios.G.
