We're thrilled to have worked with Holly Herndon to train a model finetuned on her vocal style to share with all of you.

Playing with Holly’s model, you can use additional controls to get vocalizations that contour the music or "color" the instruments with a timbre that resembles Holly's voice

Magenta RT now supports what we call *audio injection* - a novel method for real-time audio input

You can use audio injection to transform and add layers to prerecorded music!

Pleasantly surprised with how easy/fun it is to "vibe code" new musical experiences in AI Studio.

I'm not much of a JS guy, but had Gemini help me make a "Kaoss Pad" emulator using the Lyria RealTime API to explore musical latent spaces in realtime.

Jam of the day #10: Blue man group vibes. Not sure how I found my way into this part of latent space but I like it.

Feels like more of an abstract mixture than a linear combination.
