Deep Learning has improved many aspects of our lives, in ways both obvious and subtle. Deep learning plays a key role in processes such as movie recommendation systems, spam detection, and computer vision. Though there is ongoing discussion around deep learning as a black box and the difficulty of training, there is huge potential for it in a wide variety of fields including medicine, virtual assistants, and eCommerce.

One fascinating area in which deep learning can play a role is at the intersection of art and technology. To explore this idea further, in this article we will look at machine learning music generation via deep learning processes, a field many assume is beyond the scope of machines (and another interesting area of fierce debate!).
