Funny, I guess this idea is in the air (har har). I've made a couple things along these lines over the past year. One is a fun, Halloween-themed toy: https://blog.cochlea.xyz/there…

As a fun, Halloween-y exercise, I've taken a break from some of the other hand-tracking-based WebAudio instruments I'm working on to make something simple and easy: A MediaPipe + W…

In this small demo, I first overfit a single-layer RNN, decomposing a short segment of classical music into two "factors": - a sparse "control signal", something like a score, repr…

You're the author of Glicol, right? I've definitely had my eye on trying it out for a while. The karplus-stress-tester is great; I'm currently using message ports, because they see…

How funny, I actually corresponded with one of the authors of the "Spiking Music..." paper when it first showed up on arxiv. I'll definitely give the amp-modeling paper a read, loo…

Thanks for the bug report, I'll look into this and see if I can make it better! There's definitely more optimization juice to be squeezed, I think, and it'd probably be smart to al…

Same here! Not a physics engine per se, but I've been eyeing Taichi Lang ( https://github.com/taichi-dev/taichi ) as a potential next stop for running this on a much larger scale. …

Thanks for the bug report, I definitely do see now that things fall apart at certain extreme values. I'll look into it and see if I can fix. My assumption is that it's some sort of…

Hi, I'm the author of this little Web Audio toy which does physical modeling synthesis using a simple spring-mass system. My current area of research is in sparse, event-based enco…

These are both great points and I'll use them to refine my writing on the subject, I appreciate the feedback! Apologies if it isn't clear, but the animated gifs are meant as an ill…

I couldn't agree more. I feel that the block-coding and rasterized approaches that are ubiquitous in audio codecs (even the modern "neural" ones) are a dead-end for the fine-graine…

In the process of working on models that decompose audio into sparse representations, I've found that it can be fun to explore the space of possible musical events that the learned…

I think I'm beginning to wrap my head around the way modern, "deep" state-space models (e.g Mamba, S4, etc.) leverage polynomial multiplication to speed up very long convolutions. …

I'm working on building models that extract sparse and easy-to-interpret representations of musical audio. The work in this post encodes short segments of music from the MusicNet d…
