1. mkdir data && mkdir models
2. Download the dataset Nottingham MIDI dataset and unzip to data/Nottingham
3. Run python nottingham_util.py to generate the sequences and chord mapping file to data/nottingham.pickle
4. Run python rnn.py --run_name YOUR_RUN_NAME_HERE to start training the model. Use the grid object in rnn.py to edit hyperparameter configurations.
