90s electronica acts using non-repeating loops to circumvent anti-rave laws. Fun story!

Super cool, realtime tools always seem the most promising. I also made an ai-assisted instrument, https://twitter.com/hollowaya_x/status/1641628603829096448 — automatic accompaniment with a midi LLM. (Source at https://github.com/cameronfr/SunflowerOS/blob/bd460284b428d4... )

I like this but am not sure what I need to install to try your instrument. Is there a setup page you could share? Could it be installed on a rPi without much hassle? Thanks

interesting project! I also have a project for loop generation using DRL:

Haven't kept it up to date for a while as too many things are on my list. But if some of you find it interesting we can chat.

Also if you are interested in generative music, you can't miss: https://www.riffusion.com/

Needs more data.

Seems a popular pastime these days. According to https://nodemusic.com/

"In "8 Bits of Grey" we ... can therefore generate a continuously changing melody that always sounds similar to its starting point, despite every bar being unique."

So is mathematics and grey codes finally cool?

hi! i’m the creator of unloop :) if you’re curious to know about the tech behind the variations, check out the paper page: https://tinyurl.com/bdfj7rdx or reach out and let’s talk ab music and computers!

I tried running on ubuntu but i had troubles when i got to installing max using wine, sortof gave up after that. Will give it another try at some point. Was wondering what happens when using some vocals riffs..

i don't care what anyone else says this thing is fun. i quite enjoyed it's simplicity as well. great work =)

What was that other one that stretches or shortens songs to a specific length? Supposed to work better than just trimming. I think it was posted on HN but I can't find it now

Reminds me of the 90s EDM band Antiloop.

Ha, reminds me of Uno Loop, a late legendary bossa nova artist in Estonia. Really good guitar player, too. (Many non-natives have asked this, so: yes, this is a real name. Uno Loop. Not bad luck for a musician, I guess.)

A lovely bossa vinyl featuring Uno (and another late bossa legend from 1970s Soviet Estonia, Marju Kuut): https://yewtu.be/watch?v=jLXmO4AlE38

And I thought of Dirty Loops, a band I just discovered the other day.
