#Video summary of the #kromosynth project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUxM-Eohk0k

today's #ambient -ish #sound lineage exploration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqIwo4CPeGY --- during which i was summoned to escort a spider (explaining a slower than usual pace somewhere in the middle). kind of like the latter part.

At their core, #AI models are nothing more than #compression models that take the corpus of #data humanity has and boil it down to a set of weights. https://cefboud.github.io/posts/compression/

@MOULE while #kromosynth embraces the notion of abandoning #objectives , it paradoxically strives for the goal of facilitating journeys through uncharted sonic landscapes. A review describing one arrangement of #sound objects discovered by the system as something not heard before, suggests that the project may be on the right track!

Thanks @freebliss ! The theme or constraint of that #Faircamp instance is to publish works exclusively made with sound objects from the @kromosynth system, which indeed aims for diverse discoveries. Anyone who organises sounds from the dataset(s - more to come) linked to from the front page are welcome to have their #artist profile there with such #sound works: https://kromo.synth.is

Demoing this at #UiO (OJD) #C2HO Creative Computing Showcase: https://www.hf.uio.no/imv/english/research/news-and-events/events/Other/c2ho/c2ho-showcase-may-2024.html

This particular sound genome is accessible in the kromosynth evoruns explorer at:

https://synth.is/exploring-evoruns?evoRunDirPath=/QD-nemur/evoruns/conf-static_mutation_rate_combinations/01H0987KPBBN3WM7MX71JTWTMD_1dur-1ndelt-1vel_CPPN-pMutateAddConnection-0.01_pMutateAddNode-0.05&class=Trombone&generation=100031&loop=false

One recent feature in the kromosynth CPPN+DSP #sound generator* is to optionally allow frequency updates (note-deltas) to affect #LFO signals from the #CPPN along with the audio-rate signals. It doesn't affect all sound genomes but the effect noticable in for the one demoed in this video, where enabling "Apply frequency updates to control signals" dramatically changes the sound at lower pitches.

Great to see our paper on steps towards #Sound Innovation Engines published in the #evoMUSART proceedings: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-56992-0_14

Very happy to see our article on a System for #sonic Explorations with #EvolutionaryAlgorithms published in the #journal of the #audio #engineering #society https://doi.org/10.17743/jaes.2022.0137 which enables #SoundSynthesis with #QualityDiversity #algorithms and is among other things based on #NodeJS and #DNN

Looking forward to presenting our steps towards enabling access to all sounds with #EvolutionaryAlgorithms, next week during EvoMUSART in Aberystwyth. Summary and supplementary material is online at: https://www.uio.no/ritmo/english/people/phd-fellows/bthj/publications/sound-innovation-engine-1.0.html

#looptober 7th brings another #bird sound, potentially filling this corner of the #fediverse with some #birdsite vibe - maybe there will be a sound resembling something else or nothing at all tomorrow: https://synth.is/exploring-evoruns?evoRunDirPath=/QD-ROBIN/evoruns/conf-static_mutation_rate_combinations/01H0FCYBCRPYGC6DXW1C0AX715_1dur-1ndelt-1vel_addAudioBufferSource_proper-0.2_wavetable-0.5_additive-0.3&class=Bird&generation=200056&loop=true

Starting #looptober 1st from here with rustling leaves, as classified during an evorun @kromosynth : https://synth.is/exploring-evoruns?evoRunDirPath=/QD-ROBIN/evoruns/conf-static_mutation_rate_combinations/01GZGCTEXJK7F0Q48V3F5TMZFW_1dur-1ndelt-1vel&class=Rustling%20leaves&generation=200099&loop=true

Round one of five nights playing stochastically through sets of #sounds found during runs with different configurations of quality diversity search, assembled into a playlist:

Maybe the nights become more interesting as they progress?

Live in 10:

Five Nights at synth.is (FNAS), night #2: @kromosynth evoruns in #AudioStellar sequence evolution (conf-duration_delta_pitch_combinations-singleCellWin):

This seems to be live (trying out streaming from #OBS for the first time):

Sounds from @kromosynth evoruns (conf-duration_delta_pitch_combinations) in an #AudioStellar sequence evolution:

(don't now about you, but I'm going to sleep, but will scroll through the recording tomorrow to see if some interesting sequences cropped up)
