A Cape Town duo is set to become one of the first bands in the world to produce a song in collaboration with a supercomputer, reports Fin24.
“Original Swimming Party (OSP) is an audio-visual group from Cape Town who define their music style as a mash-up of Western electronic, with African influences from genres like kwaito and house.”
The two began working with the Austin-based Watson Beat, a supercomputer that allows you to send through chords of an original song with a “mood”.
The computer and then uses the same notes to create an entirely new piece according to the mood, spitting out a usable MIDI file.
“OSP plan to work with the supercomputer to produce a world-first collaboration between artists and a supercomputer.”
“The beauty of Watson is that the more complex notes we send to Watson, the more it learns. Right now it’s like a high school student, with no style of its own,” said OSP member Tom Glendinning.
