A couple of experiments using images as midi information, playing through a synth. We will look more at this, particularly using our own sounds gathered via geophone and other recording methods to create a “rock synth”. Very interested in machine learning, wondering if we can use certain machine learning platforms trained on geosounds (like deepmind […]
