Only seems to be a limit on track size. “There is no limit on the size of albums”

I’ve have the same problem - I always end up feeling like I need to add more elements or variation to a piece - I have no confidence that others will hear what I hear or appreciate it in the same way…

Any thoughts on doing some kind of algorithmic or radio-based thing as @Jet suggested? I think it’s a cool idea.

#322

I’ve definitely been contemplating it. Haven’t taken any concrete actions yet.

#323

I have spare bandwidth for a stream…

Does anybody reading this have prior experience with GANs/machine learning?

EDIT:

Currently reading

EDIT 2:

And this, which produces better results:

Unfortunatley both the links above are operating on MIDI data. I don’t think neural networks/machine learning had advanced nearly as far in the audio domain as it has in the visual. It’s a shame.

I’m thinking that simply setting up the tracks we have in a rotation on an icecast server is probably a more realistic goal.

But I need a little help understanding why this is preferable to simply listening on Bandcamp. Can someone help me out with that?

EDIT 3:

OK, there’s some raw audio as input here, and it’s actually pretty good. This is worthy of a deeper dive.

EDIT 4:

Seems worth a try:

@_mark if you can put the collected tracks somewhere I can get to them, I am willing to use them as training data for a neural network…

Sound like a worthy project! I’ll PM you the link.

Having a little trouble getting the thing installed. But I’ll keep at it.

The stream version could be ongoing with a rolling submission. Ever-growing, always churning…

Although just doing a random stream seems like reinventing sleepbot. I still think @Jet’s suggestion would be interesting to try, since the software is already there.

#328

how is this an improvement over doing the same thing on bandcamp?

#329

How do you do shuffle play on bandcamp?

Edit: mmmmm that came off far more snarky than intended. Sorry @jasonw22. I really thought maybe bandcamp had a shuffle play feature or something. (That would be cool.)

How do you shuffle play on an icecast station? or did you have a different streaming tech in mind?

#331

Using liquidsoap is one way, I’m using that to play a shuffled stream of archive episodes from my old radio show on my website.

liquidsoap sounds cool!

#333

It’s really pretty amazing. You can build the backbone of a really full-featured radio automation system from it with very little code. It’s a DSL for web radio. The airtime/libretime systems are built on top of it.

For example: https://gist.github.com/GeekBrony/47d2212ed6408be816a2

I’ve got a track that is called: Lines_LongForm_EBERTRAND.wav

Is it yours? I’m trying to put an artist and track name to it, but can’t find the original message.

Thanks

#335

@_mark that’s me. The track name is: Home.
The artist name is: Halidex.

Thx!

This reminded me of Holly Herndon’s new project with Jlin using an AI project called Spawn https://www.residentadvisor.net/news/42917

Have you been able to find any technical information about Spawn?

Found a bit more detail here:

Great, thanks!

Sorry if you’d already sent this - lost amongst it all.

For everyone - getting there with this, got all the tracks and now organising them. It’s a great collection and I can’t wait for you all to hear it! Thanks for your collective patience.
