Recorded some jams on Engram, my generative audio sampler project
I've been nose down on this project for a few months now and just moved into testing with a crew of professional artists and hobbyists. It's a sampler with built-in voice control and tiny generative audio models that create and glitch new sounds in real time.
I finally had a chance recently to step away from coding and soldering to make a few jams with it. If the project seems cool to you, I've got an old-school email list going where I'm going to post updates: https://engram.audio
Happy to geek out or answer questions.
ETA: I've also started an Instagram if you want to follow along with development: https://www.instagram.com/thoughtful.audio/
ETA2: I appreciate the level-headed constructive criticism that some have given. Some are misinterpreting the amount of "AI" that went into the arrangements in these clips because I have maybe unwisely edited them down for punchiness. Each of those brief loops took me 30 minutes to an hour of normal sampling workflow to create. No different than loading some weird shit you found onto an MPC and seeing what you can do with it. The examples build on generated samples that are around 4 seconds long. Here is an example of an unedited sample that I used in a longer video. The samples that Engram generates do not hold on their own as actual music.
Some have also leveled very harsh and unwarranted personal criticism toward me for creating this project. You don't have to like what I'm doing, but I ask you to chill out and remember you're talking to a human being. I'm closer to you as a person than I am to the forces in the world that are pissing you off.
