As a result, formerly niche genres of electronic music are reaching wider audiences and giving birth to new genres that are pushing the limits of audio production and redefining what music can sound like. This project is centred around the following two research questions: How can time varying parameters (also known as modulations) of synthesizers and audio effects be learned, controlled, and augmented with machine learning Can modulation information be leveraged to improve representations of audio production style (i.e. what makes an electronic music artist sound unique through their choice of modulations, synthesizers, audio effects, mixing, and samples).
