"#Melodic possibilities have been exhausted, #chord #progressions are spent. The #natural #evolution of #music is in #exploring #novel #timbres and #experimenting in #noise..." - https://t.co/6dEbSO8JnJ

Built on @Ableton 's new Extensions SDK — a genuinely nice bit of kit to build on. We reused our whole web pipeline inside it. Early access now (Live 12.4 beta). Full story + how we built it: https://t.co/0RzDBLe2lb

We've been quiet for a while — not for lack of work. 🧬🎛️ https://t.co/t5KP8mzhpq is now inside Ableton Live. Right-click in your set → discover sounds that never existed before → drop them onto a track. No detour out of the DAW. #AbletonLive #sounddesign #musictech #synthesis

Why it sounds unlike anything else: https://t.co/t5KP8mzhpq sounds are evolved from scratch by quality-diversity search — not sampled, not trained on anyone's recordings. Genuinely new raw material, grown rather than recombined.

Here's a summary of the https://t.co/psPD9a7HoE project's current status and potential future directions:

The next step is to figure out how this could fit into #music production workflows. And perhaps most importantly, what is a good way for us humans to interact with and guide the evolutionary process?

Here's a short presentation about where the https://t.co/psPD9a8fec project stands and where it's headed next:

So far there is a prototype for running #sound discovery simulations with #evolutionary #algorithms, and a #web interface for exploring the results.

It was a pleasure to present the https://t.co/Sn0Coufh5x project and demo the https://t.co/Gl5yLfnIH7 tool in @c4dm during this summer’s Creative Audio Synthesis and Interfaces Workshop: https://t.co/nHSSV6yITN

Thanks to @VMadaghiele for taking this nice photo during the demo.

One recent feature in the kromosynth CPPN+DSP sound generator (https://t.co/LCzkbyPH9O) is to optionally allow frequency updates (note-deltas) to affect LFO signals from the CPPN along with the audio-rate signals:
