Magenta

An open source research project exploring the role of machine learning as a tool in the creative process.

There are times in life when you find a tool that open up a whole new palette of possibilites. This was the case for me with Magenta.
Powered by the massive and free library for machine learning in JavaScript TensorFlow.js. Magenta is freely distributed in in two flavours: as an open source Python library or as an open source JavaScript API for using the pre-trained Magenta models in the browser.

Magenta will help you get started making music and art with machine learning, and give you some resources if you want to explore on your own.

Check for example: Beatblender

Or Magenta Studio, a collection of music plugins, that can be integrated into Ableton, built on Magenta’s open source tools and models.

Drumbot lets you play real-time music with a Machine Learning drummer that drums based on your melody.

The Google Experiment A.I. Duet lets you play a duet with the computer. Just play some notes, and the computer will respond to your melody.

Or take it one step further with Fruit Genie:

SoundID

Sonarworks partners with 1MORE to bring next generation SoundID technology to the consumer headphone market for the first time!

I've been using Sonarworks extensively over the past year, while working on a new album, and it's amazing. They are on the incredible mission to provide better sound for everyone.

Now the same technology being used in over 45.000 professional recording studios in the world becomes available for iOS and Android devices.
The app allows to create a profile for your headphones adjusting the sound based on the biggest ever research into sound preferences - a 39,000 sample size.

Sonarworks have developed a method of analysing and augmenting sound using machine learning and big data based sound preference and hearing tests.

They state that over 78% of listeners prefer SoundID enabled audio delivery over the factory default settings of any single headphone model.

The multi-storey

Searching for the Saatchi & Saatchi - New Creators Showcase of 2019 I came across "The Multi-Storey" a video by Trim Lamba.

I really find the idea of filters becoming part of the real world interesting. That somehow reminds me to HYPER-REALITY by Keiichi Matsuda.

Guinness Surfer Ad

Brands today are competing with the entire internet content available.
This is frequently seen as something new, but back in the day brands had the aspiration, and challenge, to make ads that were as entertaining as TV programmes and films. The competition was with professionally produced, audiovisual, photographic and written content.

Directed by, Sony BRAVIA's "Paint" director, Jonathan Glazer 20 years ago, in 1999, and drawing parallels between the wait for a Guinness and the idea of a surfer waiting for the perfect wave, Guiness Surfer Ad is among the greatest advertisements of all time.

Guiness Surfer Ad is an epic example of how a product truth can be dramatised in a really surprising way.

Self-Discovery for Social Survival – Surf Film

Since the genre’s birth in the early 1950s, the surf film has involved a synthesis of im-age and music. Typically, these two key ingredients are sourced separately, mixed together only after the visual fact. Self Discovery for Social Survival subverts this recipe. Just like the osmotic waves that run through the film, the visuals and music of SDSS co-exist and permeate as one to reinvent and reimagine what surf films can look, sound, and feel like.
