Making BLOB OPERA with David Li 🔴🟢🔵🟣 | Google Arts & Culture

[@cherriepie]

This is amazing and the person who created this is an absolute genius. Incredible what's possible with technology these days

[@KrystalHarwood-z1b]

0:41 THEY're the guys behind it! Thank you so much for your wonderful talent!

[@DogFishMane]

First thing that came to my mind was those weird claymation skits that used to play in between shows and commercial breaks on Nickelodeon.

[@zivtamary]

LOL! I was looking for this comment

[@-throat-]

Purple and Brown!

[@DogFishMane]

@@-throat- Yes! I couldn't remember the name!

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

You mean Purple and Brown? I have a fond memories of those shorts and I find it enjoyable. At least Brown chewing his bubblegum becomes a GIF meme now.

[@TheAprilCruz]

David Li and team, thank you for bringing this joyful experience! Amazing and so much fun!

[@rennyschweiger]

So much fun. I'm REALLY hoping for Version 2, where you can enter a melody line and pitch duration, and have it harmonize for you. Enter your own favourite (or original) melodies. And V3 where you can suggest a key. I'm also having some issue where moving the mouse horizontally changes pitch instead of just the vowel. Regardless, this is genius. It's fun to hear the harmonies it picks for you.

[@thespianist]

Imagine how cool a MIDI player or VST instrument based on this would be! :O

[@syair_graphics]

it would be easy

[@rhomis]

I have one. It is a programmable KORG keyboard.

[@KrystalHarwood-z1b]

my grandmother's organ made sounds like this. the instrument was a diassmon or something to that effect

[@carlgrundstrom5925]

So much fun. Thank you David Li! Making the blobs sing the voices was sheer genius

[@PaulBlaise]

Thank you Google, David, and all the singers for this beautiful tool!

[@allemiffy]

David, it's cool. Thanks for your invention. The efforts of the four singers and the team behind the production are superb!

It's exceptional! Thank you, also my kids love it!

[@thepatriot1984]

This is amazing. Thank you for making this, impressive things will be made with it.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

Those singing blobs reminds me of those _Purple and Brown_ shorts which it's a claymation segment created by Aardman Studios that was aired on Nickelodeon back in the day. I really have a fond memories of it.

[@trainedgalaxy6967]

Thanks It must have taken a long time to finish but is there any way when we stop recording we can save the recording for fun on your pc and listen to it any time

[@ZweiRanger]

thia is what the future look like, and i'm glad to be part of it. absolute genius.

[@kingspook1]

Google Chrome got me here.

[@jeanmck1577]

Thank you so much for this. Absolutely love blob opera.

[@wolfkrueger7530]

I have met him before, he is one of my teachers cousins

[@wolfkrueger7530]

he is really chill

[@wesleycolemanmusic]

This is hilarious! Such a fun little tool! Thanks for sharing this!

[@minihelp3166]

I felt like I can be opera singer with just mouse buttons! Loved the presentation.

[@dawnhemming3668]

I love messing with this.

[@GregoryTheGr8ster]

Also, it would be nice to have the blobs sing national anthems, in addition to the Christmas carols.

[@geertjekorf5491]

Ooooh this is addictive!

[@SamiTheAnxiousBean]

thank you for giving us this incredible tool....that we used to make shitposts

[@EpicPianoArrangements]

Will we EVER get the ability to create a 4-part MIDI, or a score you can notate so the blobs can sing??? As someone who is a musician, this could be a LOT of fun, and a great teaching tool for students.

[@lemayelaine]

wow. brilliant. Fun, beautiful, what a fabulous Christmas gift you've given us all! :D

[@nightbite2098]

The intro beautiful

[@lynngreene4340]

I love this so much. It's great fun. How can I get an app for it?

[@lzad3764]

This needs to be an app. Now.

[@rebeccarennie]

would love to be able to insert actual words into their mouths so i can get the blobs to sing a song from my rock opera

[@motherbear55]

Are you going to release the model, or a more detailed description of the model and how it was trained, along with the dataset?

[@LuciaRaquel-xs2hr]

Me encantó, lo disfruté bastante

[@PuffedMuffin]

I love this guy

[@bickleigh2829]

Hi David awesome work! A couple of questions though. Is the code open source and is there an API for this.?

[@lenoil7931]

Great app, lots of fun

[@三日月型抱き枕]

It's fantastic characters .✨

[@jank-official]

Is this model going to be shared? it would be great to see what people come up with using the opera voice model

[@lacourlavante]

Can we get an update with midi compatibility?

[@GregoryTheGr8ster]

What I would like to know is whether the reverb effect is learned by the AI, and thus part of the synthesized signal, or whether it is an external digital effect.

[@Nbec95]

I really like this experiment, but I think the interaction is not sufficient. You can't really break notes because you always have to start them with low pitch before you can play higher pitch. Keyboard interaction would be much appreciated.

[@kathrinlorenzen8165]

Also the harmony can't be chosen on your own and there occur parallels

[@JoyRosario]

So clever and great fun!

[@ImTash]

I love this but i would love a bit more accuracy with the cursor - i can move the cursor down two semitones so it can sit on one block but it doesn't seem to recognise that and going side to side changes the pitch not just the vowel. It does seem to work better on iphone though. But this is so fun. amazing job.

[@michaeljelbart1065]

Amazing work! Did the singers get to choose the colour of their blob?

[@77MyEsha]

I'm addicted!!!!!

[@XMNF]

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SONG FINALLY POSSIBLE TO CREATE XDDDD YESSSSS

[@ejmolinac]

Lovely job! My OCD crying at 1:11, by the way.

[@SlyHikari03]

Thanks Dave.

[@chorvaqueen]

Prima and Tonio are quaking.

[@Leonardo-ln4zj]

Hey, uhm... When i click the link to the blob opera thing, it says I cant't acces that service... Has anyone got my same problem?

[@oniking82]

i love it

[@subbookkeeper]

wish there was such VSTi plugin.

[@lolilotyui1784]

Which means "convolutional neural network" in blob opera?

[@arackulelefanmsm6388]

WE NEED A YELLOW BARITONE BLOB WHO'S WITH ME

[@zhixoworld]

good..now we need a dubstep version ～(　TロT)σ

[@hotdogbr2]

always wanted to use this but it crashes a lot for me :(

[@almufti]

This can be found in Google arts and culture by searching it

[@hittimylly]

BEST TINHG EVER

[@almufti]

It was used at the end of the video

[@nuoyima3892]

if the code or the paper will be opened？

[@pansuave5826]

Hahahaga interesant fun and super fun jeje

[@leozendo3500]

Thank you. Retire my meat brain I feel very smooth rn,

[@Codycjhh]

[@cristinamatos2031]

💮

[@sandraschiemer3989]

lol ich muss das in der Schule machen😂

[@blobgamer4949]

Sea?

[@GeorgeLifterMann]

Weird how the Bass goes down to E2 when interacting with but can sing an A1 if you harmonize with the Tenor or the Mezzo Soprano only. Huh...

[@lacourlavante]

you're a curious little guy eh?

[@XxNamakubiYT]

ČÓŅÝ PŁƏÆßÉ ƏŅÞŔÝ ŐŔ ßHØÞ
