There’s Google’s MusicLM, and then Suno AI v3, which can generate full, two-minute songs in seconds using just basic text prompts. If this sounds impressive, the team has much more in the works, including better audio quality, more styles / genres, and improved prompt adherence.
What could be cooler than a Windows 98 smartwatch? A portable Winamp player of course. Called Raspinamp, AudioWanderer’s creation features a Raspberry Pi 3B board and a 3.5″ TFT touchscreen display, all placed within a clear acrylic enclosure.
Adobe’s new Project Music GenAI Control tool uses generative AI to turn text prompts into music, complete with fine-grained control for users to edit that audio for their precise needs. For example, users can enter prompts like “punk rock,” “happy jazz,” or “summer mood” to generate music.
Nintendo Live 2024 Tokyo was supposed to include a performance by The Legend of Zelda Orchestra, but the company had to cancel the event over safety fears. So, they pre-recorded the event and shared the full 29-minute concert online.
Unlike JPL’s EELS, the Picassnake robot by researchers from the HCI Lab at the University of Manitoba can paint works of art from music. This snake robot basically consists of an arm and a head, both of which are embedded in a plush snake doll.
There’s the Samsung Music Frame, and then Medusai, a slightly creepy robotic musician that uses AI to play percussion and strings alongside humans. This steel robot boasts eight mobile arms, and not only can it play with human musicians, but also dance as well.
Now many remember even hearing about the SEGA AS-1, as only a dozen of these motion ride simulators were installed at video arcades worldwide, namely SEGA VirtuLand, SEGA World, and Joypolis. Even more rare is the interactive film that Michael Jackson shot for the attraction, titled ‘Scramble Training’.
Composer Sophie Kastner teamed up with researchers to develop versions of NASA telescope data that can actually be played by musicians. This pilot program is currently focusing on a small region at the center of our Milky Way galaxy where a supermassive black hole resides.
