| nice job, greg. i'm a sample mangler so this is very cool :)
|
| what's the source material, youtube vids?
| chaosprint wrote:
| very cool. what's the relationship between the colour and sound?
| just random?

| Decided to look into greg
|
| Clicked his instagram, first video is a live comedy performance
| introduced by Matthew Silver..
|
| greg is pretty cool

|
| A bit off-topic, but I might actually find this approach useful
| for music production, especially if I could just drag and drop a
| folder of samples into a grid in an M4L plugin.
|
| Very cool - I still find Reich's looping sample experiments
| inspiring!
| handy2000 wrote:
| And even more off-topic (sorry!).
|
| To this day I find pretty elemental algorithmic and/or
| deterministic composition experiments far more inspiring and
| idiosyncratic than gen AI. There is such a wide gap between gen
| AI sound generation and the prompter, that the result feels
| utterly disconnected from the composer's intent.

| it'd be ready for general consumption. So soothing.

| Love this we need more creative audio projects! Great work!!
|
| I was inspired by the demo Colugo Music shared over the weekend
| and made a variation on Sunday and shared a link to it and the
| code yesterday: https://danielraffel.me/2023/11/21/sonic-garbage/
|
| Demo here: https://polymetallic.co
|
| Every time someone visits my version of SonicGarbage, it performs
| a YouTube search with randomly generated phrases to discover
| videos. It then downloads these videos, processes their audio,
| and converts them into a loop. The site then generates a unique
| timestamped URL hosting each sample loop that was generated and
| adds it to an archive of random YouTube sample packs.
|
| Since this is running on a free tier Google micro instance it
| takes close to a minute to run this process. So, when you visit
| you'll be enjoying a page of samples generated by the last person
| who visited. You can trigger and loop the sounds by clicking and
| hovering over the YouTube IDs, simulating a live sampler. Right-
| clicking the IDs allows you to download the looped sample files.
| I didn't bother to optimize for mobile so it's desktop only right
| now...sorry!
