Grannma MagNet – Granular Neural Music & Audio with Magnitude Networks (2018)

Deep neural audio synthesis. The goal here is not to create sounds that are indistinguishable from the training data (i.e. capable of passing an ‘audio Turing test’), but to create sounds that are somehow reminiscent of the training data, but are also novel and un-human, yet still interesting, and – most importantly – allow a human user to expressively, and meaningfully manipulate the output in realtime (e.g. see Deep Meditations, UltrachunkNimiia Cétiï). More information and paper coming soon.
