Latent space exploration with Damien Roach aka patten
Added 2023-03-21 11:36:00 +0000 UTCWe caught up with Damien Roach, aka patten, aka 555-5555, to discuss the need for new language to navigate the abstract implications of machine learning for our understanding of art, and the limitations of the modernist approach. We also eventually get around to discussing his beautiful new record "Mirage FM" created in part with Riffusion, a text-to-audio model.

Also, great interview! When I read the review of Mirage FM in the Wire I was hoping you’d get him on to discuss. There’s so much fascinating stuff in here - I love the idea of vintage Colab notebooks :)

2023-03-22 12:50:33 +0000 UTCvery happy to hear it (fixed now). Music LM is the closest, but also IRCAM's RAVE suite is worth exploring :)

Got my mind blown by making AI art with Stable Diffusion local via WebUI some weeks ago, can't stop since - it was like a childhood dream come true - I know what Mat means by overhypedANDunderhyped - I am struck with awe since weeks now. Btw is there something like this for audio out yet? Or are google's closed MusicLM the closest for now... well somehow herxorcism from the other episode creates his models.... hmmmm
