ORGANVM PERCEPTVS
By Happy Valley Band
“Organvm Perceptvs” is an album by Happy Valley Band consisting of covers of pop classics. These songs are written by feeding the original songs into a custom built machine learning software that spits them back out in an altered re-written state. The band then plays the music that the software has regurgitated. I think this is a cool example of a collaboration between the AI and the human musicians. The AI doesn’t directly synthesize the sounds, but rather there is a level of human interpretation by playing the music that the AI writes. I also think that the output is wonderfully uncanny. The artificial intelligence remixes the music in a way that I doubt any person would think of doing, giving a complex and novel result.
