Pushing the Frontier of Full-Song Generation: Hierarchical Autoregressive Planning Meets Flow-Matching Rendering

In this report, we present a unified song generation framework capable of producing high-quality full-length music from lyrics, text descriptions, and musical attributes. The proposed framework supports three tasks: Lyrics-to-Song Generation, which generates complete songs from text descriptions, lyrics, and musical attributes; Instrumental Music Generation, which creates music without vocals; and Cover Song Generation, which reinterprets existing songs with different styles while preserving their melodic content.

DuoTok: Source-Aware Dual-Track Music Tokenization for Vocal-Accompaniment Generation

DuoTok is a source‑aware dual‑track music tokenizer designed for vocal‑accompaniment generation. It first learns a semantic audio representation via self‑supervised pretraining, then refines source‑aware structure with feature‑replacement noise and multi‑task supervision (spectral reconstruction, source separation regularization, and an ASR head for lyric alignment). The encoder is frozen and hard‑routed codebooks for vocals and accompaniment are learned, while a diffusion decoder restores fine acoustic detail from the discrete tokens, achieving a favorable predictability‑fidelity trade‑off at ultra‑low bitrate across public benchmarks.

CHORDONOMICON: A Dataset of 666,000 Songs and their Chord Progressions

Chordonomicon is a new dataset of over 666,000 song-level symbolic chord progressions, each annotated with structural parts such as verse, chorus, and bridge, as well as genre and release date. The dataset was compiled by scraping user-generated progressions from multiple sources and shows strong similarity to established prior datasets. The authors also provide a reproducible benchmark suite for next chord prediction, evaluating RNN, GRU, and LSTM models across various context windows and data scales, and find that structural part annotations consistently improve prediction performance.

FIGMA: Towards FIne-Grained Music retrievAl

arXiv:2606. 06615v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieving music using natural language descriptions has improved with contrastive audio-text models such as CLAP, but current systems remain limited to coarse semantic queries.
