Fairchild Shopping Center (Remix)

Hi! I've been quietly and skeptically studying machine learning for a few years, and this is my first result worth sharing.

What you're hearing is not AI-composed, it's a cover of my own chiptune, created by Riffusion, a spectrogram-finetuned ML model based on Stable Diffusion. No external samples, effects, or synths were used, just the original unaltered NES chip track (https://virt.bandcamp.com/track/the-buzz-in-the-grotto-troupple-pond) and the following text prompt:

"A rocking latin jazz fusion track, recorded 1960, big brass sections, muted trumpet, acoustic guitar, piano montuno, flourishes and high energy throughout, salsa pop dance, it's time to party yeah boiii"

To create a stereo effect, I incremented the seed and the denoising value a tiny bit to create a slightly different mix, and panned these left and right. I suspect the reason it works is that the chiptune was already written to imitate "live instruments" in chip form. The model is eerily good at inferring the same timbre and performance techniques that I was actually trying to go for. 

In other words, you can now write a chiptune as an "MSpaint scaffolding version" and then turn it into amazing future sounds. I named the technique neurochip, and I'd love to hear other people trying it out!

I'll post a guide as soon as I can get some good screenshots of my process and maybe get in touch with the people working on Riffusion.

Neurochip 01 - Buzz in the Grotto

This is the "Flying Machine" cover I made for Specter of Torment, covered EVEN FURTHER through a fine-tuned AI. See the Buzz in the Grotto track (#01) for a fuller explanation, but the only things that went into this track were the original chiptune ( https://virt.bandcamp.com/track/a-cargo-of-fineries-flying-machine ) and the following very finagled text prompt: 

"A very energetic and thematic pop song. Driving drum beat, electric guitar lead, soaring and majestic, overdriven electric bass, brass section, anthemic, aviation, bombast"

I didn't tell it to add vocals, but I didn't tell it not to either. Sure, why not? I can't believe how similar they sound to the internal nonsense "temp" singing I hear in my head, whenever I write a song before writing the lyrics. It's absolutely uncanny.

I'll post how to mess with all this as soon as I regroup. It's been a pretty sleepless week! A new paper on audio ML is coming out almost every day now and I'm reading them all :E
