Lo-Fi Player, a new project out of Google Magenta, wants to help people play around with music creation – no experience necessary. Lo-Fi Player is a pixelated, 2D virtual room that runs in a web browser. It lets you combine lo-fi hip-hop tracks by clicking on different objects in the room, and it uses machine learning to give the tracks a little finesse.
Once you have clicked around on everything from the guitars to the window, plants, and desk and generated sounds you like, you can distribute your Lo-Fi Player room with friends. If you click the radio or TV, you’ll automatically trigger machine-learning models that produce a few new melodies, and you can click the green ceiling lamp to pause and resume the music.
Lo-Fi Player was created by Google Magenta summer intern Vibert Thio. The Magenta team regularly develops deep learning algorithms that create songs, images, and drawings.
“We chose Lo-Fi Hip Hop because it’s a popular genre with relatively simple music structure,” Thio wrote in a blog post. “This limited flexibility helps ensure that the music always makes sense. We’re able to create something more like a “music generating room” than a musical instrument or composition tool.”
