Abstract
As music recomposing becoming a popular way of artistic creation, computer-aided music making has generated many neoteric pieces through algorithms. Style transfer is one of the methods of recomposition based on an existing musical piece. This paper aims to develop a method that could implement music style transferring to Chinese style by changing the mode into a pentatonic scale. It includes two methods in note-to-note modification that both achieved the purpose well and are suited for different situations. The output of the approach is proved to be successful by certain comparison between the existing Chinese style music and the one that was modified by the method. It is convenient for musicians to utilize the analysis to improve the efficiency of recomposition based on style changing. In addition, they will be given a general view of what the changed music could be without excessive thinking prior to the start of their composing process. These results shed light on guiding further exploration of music composing based on Nyquist.
