“Deep Fake Birdsong unites art with science to inquire about the electrical nature of lifeforms and to push the envelope of artificial intelligence. ”— Kelly Heaton and Johann Diedrick, 2020
I’ve recently wrapped up some explorations of bird song, music composition and AI. In my various inquiry travels, I stumbled across this post about a project that I found pretty fascinating. It’s called Deep Fake Birdsong, a project by Kelly Heaton and Johann Diedrick. It’s fascinating, and involves circuit boards and programming to emulate the song of birds.
Kelly Heaton explain the project a bit here in this talk entitled: Hacking Nature’s Musicians
It’s all interesting, these intersections. To me, anyway.
Check out this circuit board from their project:
Peace (and song),
