Dadabots & Portrait XO mit "I'll Marry You, Punk Come"

Gewinner*innen Bestes Experiment 2021

Für "I'll Marry You, Punk Come" verwendeten die Künstler*innen Dadabots und Portrait XO eine einzigartige Methode: Sie trainierten neuronale Netzwerke auf Acapella-Musik der 1950er Jahre, vermischt mit KI-generierten Death-Metal-Gesangsstilen und einer chromatischen Basslinie, das auf Bachs Kanon trainiert wurde. Das Stück wurde ursprünglich für den Eurovision AI Song Contest generiert.

Über Dadabots
Dadabots comprises of Zack and CJ Carr. They met at Berklee College, back when they used to play instruments. After falling down the rabbit hole of python, theano, arXiv, and github - a benevolent alien abducted them in a UFO and granted them unlimited GPU credits, which they wasted on generating noise music. Their musicianship has since deteriorated, and they are embarrassingly out of practice
