A collection of recordings of private practice sessions on tenor saxophone, recorded in Leeds, UK in 2019 as part of my PhD project.

These recordings were initially created without a specific use-case in mind. They have since been used for the following tasks:

Audio Classification ("Timbral" and "Melodic Improv")
Generative Modelling with SampleRNN ("Tone Rows", "Scales and Arpeggios" and "Melodic Improv" worked best)
Timbre Transfer with RAVE (iil trained a RAVE model on the "Timbral" set)
Symbolic Modelling with modified Char-RNN (a composite of "Tone Rows", "Scales and Arpeggios" and "Melodic Improv" worked best)
