One of these tools is NSynth, a neural synthesizer that generates strange, new sounds like “cat flutes,” “beast guitars,” and “screaming 3D printers.” In this video, I explore how NSynth works, and talk with Andrew Huang about his process creating a song entirely out of NSynth generated sounds. ~~~~Magenta Links!~~~~ *Magenta I/O 2017 talk → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FAjQ6R_bf0 *NSynth: Sound Maker → https://experiments.withgoogle.com/ai/sound-maker/view/ *NSynth blog post → https://g.co/magenta/nsynth *NSynth research paper → https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.01279 *AI Duet → https://experiments.withgoogle.com/ai/ai-duet/view/ *Infinite Drum Machine → https://experiments.withgoogle.com/ai/drum-machine/view/ See the 60,000 year-old bone flute for yourself → https://goo.gl/gL9Eie Image courtesy of Google Arts & Culture → https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute Image courtesy of National Museum of Slovenia → http://www.nms.si/en ~~~~Thanks to these amazing people who helped me make this video!~~~~ Vibe Mountain is a wonderful music person and friend.
