Role: Associate Producer on stills shoot Magenta is a research group within Google, exploring how machine learning can help musicians in new ways. One of their first projects was NSynth - a machine learning algorithm using a deep neural network to learn the characteristics of sounds, then create thousands of completely new sounds based on these characteristics: a whole new palette of sounds for creating music. So to make the algorithm more easily accessible, we took the sounds that NSynth generates and created a musical instrument that enables musicians to play them in a more intuitive way. We call it NSynth Super.
