Blob Opera
David Li and Google Arts and Culture made this little machine-learning experiment to create opera-singing blobs.
The music is created with a machine learning model that learned about opera by listening to
Tenor, Christian Joel, bass Frederick Tong, mezzo‑soprano Joanna Gamble and soprano Olivia Doutney
(plus
Ingunn Gyda Hrafnkelsdottir and John Holland-Avery). It’s not playing their audio–rather, it’s playing what the model thinks opera music sounds like based on analyzing 16 hours of their singing.
I like how the eyes watch the cursor - that’s one of those little procedural animation touches that’s simple but adds a lot of life.
