If you want to create your own opera concert from your Android mobile, you will need to download the Google Arts & Culture app and install it on your phone. In a few words, you have to drag the bar towards the note that you want these interesting dolls made of gelatin to sing.Īs if all this were not enough, Blob Opera allows you to record the musical session that is in progressso you can share opera concerts through messaging apps simply and quickly. It is worth mentioning that making the jelly monsters sing is not complicated at all. Find them the next time you search on Google for winter holidays like 'Hanukkah,' 'Christmas' and 'Kwanzaa.Available for free for both mobile devices and computersthose who want to give this curious project a chance, should download the Google Arts & Culure app, the same one that allows us to know what art character we resemble, or enter the official Blob Opera website. Google Arts & Culture has also created holiday-themed virtual colouring books. The creative holiday fun doesn’t end there.

But no worries if you’re feeling a bit too shy to compose: You can also have the Blobs put on a festive performance while you sit back and enjoy classics like “Jingle Bells” and “O Holy Night.” The blobs respond and harmonise to your input in real time. The resulting experiment allows you to play Blob Opera, altering pitch & vowel sounds to create your own composition. In the experiment you don’t hear their voices, but rather the machine learning model’s understanding of what opera singing sounds like, based on what it learned from the opera singers. Tenor, Christian Joel, bass Frederick Tong, mezzo-soprano Joanna Gamble and soprano Olivia Doutney recorded many hours of singing.

We developed a machine learning model trained on the voices of four opera singers in order to create an engaging experiment for everyone, regardless of musical skills. This experiment pays tribute to and explores the original musical instrument: the voice.
