The old Biaxial-RNN by Daniel D. Johnson generates very good output for MIDI music, albeit limited to a single keyboard-like instrument. It's available at https://github.com/danieldjohnson/biaxial-rnn-music-composit... and AIUI there's a GitHub fork that forward-ports it to up-to-date versions of Python (3.x series) and Theano.

Transformer models are quite a bit more computationally intensive than the LSTM this used, and GPT adds attention mechanisms; but the basic approach is loosely comparable and the LSTM model can be easily trained on a single machine.

Know of anything like this that can do EDM/House music?
