    Automatic Music Generation by True Random Numbers for Turkish Makams
    (IEEE, 2018) Ismail Hakki Parlak; Cem Kosemen; Parlak, Ismail Hakki; Kosemen, Cem
    In this paper we describe a cloud hosted - mobile first system which generates music for Turkish makams driven by hardware generated true random numbers. Random numbers are fed into system for determining the notes and note lengths of the song in chosen makam and tempo with chosen instruments and percussion. This system can generate completely random or musical compositions according to user preferences even though its aim is not imitating the past genius composers and compose perfectly musical pieces. The experimental results show that this composition model can produce completely random or slightly artistic music having characteristics of Turkish makam music hence introduce inspiration and entertainment to Turkish makam music enthusiasts.
