Namee Oberst on Small Language Models and How They are Enabling AI-Powered PCs

Experience a bold fusion of orchestral and experimental soundscapes—created entirely at no cost—using the Audacity OpenVino AI Music Generation Plugin. These tracks weave together soprano vocals (female), flute, violin, horn, piano, and marimba at a spirited Presto tempo of 173 BPM, all set in D♯ Dorian to capture a unique blend of classical elegance and futuristic innovation.

What to Expect

Orchestral Flair: Sweeping string passages and vibrant horn calls bring an epic orchestral feel.
Experimental Edge: Modern production twists and atypical harmonies keep your ears engaged and wondering what’s next.
Soprano Vocals: Ethereal, soaring soprano lines provide a dynamic layer of human expressiveness against a backdrop of AI-generated instrumentals.
Layered Textures: The piano and marimba intertwine to add percussive, rhythmic complexity, complementing the flowing melodies.
D♯ Dorian Mode: Creates a slightly exotic, uplifting mood that stands out from the usual major or minor tonalities.
High-Energy Tempo: At 173 BPM, these tracks maintain a brisk, upbeat pulse—perfect for energizing your playlist.
How It’s Made
All compositions here are produced using the OpenVino AI Music Generation Plugin for Audacity, exploring the intersection of classical instrumentation and cutting-edge technology. The result? A series of lively, immersive pieces, completely free to create—proving that musical inspiration and innovation can go hand in hand without breaking the bank.

About the Project
Our aim is to push musical boundaries by combining orchestral traditions with experimental techniques. Whether you’re into futuristic film scores, avant-garde compositions, or dynamic orchestral works, these tracks serve as a testament to the power of AI-driven music. Each piece highlights how the human voice can seamlessly blend with algorithmic creativity.

Feel free to like, comment, and share if you enjoy this musical journey. Your support and feedback help us refine the art of AI-driven composition—ensuring that free, innovative music continues to flourish for artists and listeners alike!

major laptop upgrade, and with it comes a lot of configuring, transferring, deleting of bloatware and other troubleshooting. so i've been a bit quiet over the past week as a result... one thing i can do on this one that i couldn't do on the old one is run openvino music generation in Audacity, which is often laughably terrible sounding... this is an example, smooth jazz slowed down by 25% then run through oxide tape emulator>plasma>equinox>ozone 11 (i own most of the izotope catalogue)

Software engineers, architects and team leads have found inspiration to drive change and innovation in their team by listening to the weekly InfoQ Podcast. They have received essential information that helped them validate their software development map. We have achieved that by interviewing some of the top CTOs, engineers and technology directors from companies like Uber, Netflix and more. Over 1,200,000 downloads in the last 3 years.

love the dark, sad, experimental and hazy side of things, hypnotic loops and damaged sounds. massive horror geek. not without a sense of humour. partner in crime with Shelley and Loren.

if you're questioning why or how i'm able to upload on a frequent basis, simply put - i have A LOT of time on my hands at this point in my existence, a wealth of music/sounds to draw upon, and a decent collection of software to make things (e.g. both the synth and fx arturia vst collections). i'm not just auto-generating ai pieces ad nauseum, at the same time i have nothing against using ai in the creative process, but not as an outright replacement for creation. i really think the witch hunt over it all is a bit ridiculous, fueled by the greed pig corporate media companies mostly. 

one thing i've learned about making at least a little bit of money from streaming my music beyond measley penny scraps, i have to upload frequently and i've been experimenting with reuploading/reposting my tracks for better play counts (for now), if even it only results in cutting costs.
