Google’s AI Invents Sounds Humans Have Never Heard Before

Using math to create thousands of new musical instruments.

“This is not like playing the two at the same time. The machine and its software aren’t layering the sounds of a clavichord atop those of a Hammond. They’re producing entirely new sounds using the mathematical characteristics of the notes that emerge from the two.”

VR Artist Anna Zhilyaeva shares her first creation made with Tiltbrush in 2018:

This is my first Tilt Brush painting of 2018. I tried to make her look good from every angle while keeping the painting style.
