Proposal of a System that Automatically Synthesizes Music Suitable for Dances

Abstract

We suggest a system that synthesizes music suitable for emotional expressions of dances. This system divides a dance into a few seconds periods. Then, It extracts factors from dancer's motion, and transforms them into an emotional vector,then selects the most suitable music by comparing it with vectors expressing emotions of music. We made a prototype system and evaluated it in subjective questionnaires.
