• abstract = "Despite their impressive offline results, deep learning models for symbolic music generation are not widely used in live performances due to a deficit of musically meaningful control parameters and a lack of structured musical form in their outputs. To address these issues we introduce LooperGP, a method for steering a Transformer-XL model towards generating loopable musical phrases of a specified number of bars and time signature, enabling a tool for live coding performances. We show that by training LooperGP on a dataset of 93681 musical loops extracted from the DadaGP dataset [Data GuitarPro], we are able to steer its generative output towards generating three times as many loopable phrases as our baseline. In a subjective listening test conducted by 31 participants, LooperGP loops achieved positive median ratings in originality, musical coherence and loop smoothness, demonstrating its potential as a performance tool.",
