Just found this comment. I'm a bit into generative / algorithmic music; here are two demos I made a year ago: https://fligenstein.bandcamp.com/ One is just piano, the other is keys and drums. On Bandcamp they are about 10' each, but they can be made of arbitrary length, without ever repeating themselves exactly (in principle... in practice it's likely there are exact repeats but they should be few and far between). I…

That'd be great! I guess the best would be something with very smooth changes, like the current background track. I made that one on mynoise.net.

Ok, I'll try to come up with a couple ideas tonight or this weekend.

Ask and you shall receive! https://anchor.fm/deepdreams/episodes/Episode-5-e1b6trr With a new voice, as well!

Goddamn, this episode is dark. I should have vetted it more while generating.

Maybe the archangel of cynicism can come back in a future episode. I'd like to know what they are up to.

I love the idea, yet... The latest episode 7 is about a girl thinking about killing a witch, kicking her in a face, her hitting her back, and stuff. Definitely did not help me fall a sleep.

But it's okay, because they have a shared love of watermelon, and then got a job with the prime minister? I think?

I really hope he does too.

Yeah, it's getting a bit dark these days.

... then suddenly there is a Prime Minister of Everything, which had me burst in laughter.

Also at the beginning there seemed to be one little girl (Amelia) and one witch (Sarah), and then there were now two little girls (plus the witch), and one of the little girls stood between the two little girls, and later on there appeared to be three little girls. The girl duplicating over and over sure got me hooked, kind of like watching a strange surreal painting, or reading some PKD short story.

Googles neural voices are much better than any of Amazon’s.

I've tried both of them and even Microsoft Neural speech and IBM's ones; eventually, Microsoft one has sounded me the most clear and natural amongst these four services.

100% agree. Azure voices are the best. I wish Polly would catch up since most of our stacks are there but we keep going back to azure for this one specific thing.

I didn't much love hosting on Anchor/Spotify, but I made this in half an hour and I didn't want to have to get into RSS/site generation. Do you know of an easy way to dump audio files and some metadata somewhere and get a Podcast with RSS? I can upload there as well. I'll try Polly, thanks! The current voice annoys me too.

The main problem is giving out the anchor.fm domain for your RSS feed, as it marries you to Anchor forever. In theory, you can get anchor to 301 redirect your subscribers somewhere else, but I've found that podcast clients tend to keep the old URL. You can use Anchor to generate your RSS feed and host your content while still sharing the RSS URL on a domain you own. So you'd give out a URL like feeds.deepdreams.com/r…

I have rehosted!:

https://deepdreams.stavros.io/

dang, if you see this, could you repoint the URL to the article? Thanks!

Let's say one had a child and instead of music, you played these GPT3 generated stories, would the child then have been trained to speak by an AI, and if so, what else can we do? Hypothetical and unethical, but that never stopped Skinner, or any of them really. It's something we're going to have to consider.
