Title: Blob Opera Google Arts & Culture - Experiment Description: Machine learning driven music generator based on opera singing.
Overview
This is a fun music toy created as an experiment on Google Arts & Culture. It uses machine learning from real world opera singing to drive the musical blobs. There are 4 blobs representing different singer types and they are fueled through machine learning from the singing of 4 different opera singers (bass: Frederick Tong, tenor: Christian Joel, mezzo-soprano: Joanna Gamble, soprano: Olivia Doutney). The user can drag the blobs to guide the sounds; raising the blobs up and down changes the pitch, while moving them back and forth changes the focal vowel sound they produce. Whichever blob is being controlled also guides all those lower than it when used. It's a very cool machine learning music toy that is just fun to mess around with and get acquainted with hearing a bit of opera sounding music.
