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<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

The two began working with the Austin-based Watson Beat,\u00a0 a supercomputer that allows you to send through chords of an original song with a “mood”.<\/p>\n

The computer and then uses the same notes to create an entirely new piece according to the mood, spitting out a usable MIDI file.<\/p>\n

“OSP plan to work with the supercomputer to produce a world-first collaboration between artists and a supercomputer.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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,\u201d said OSP member Tom Glendinning.<\/p>\n
