#2nice job, greg. i'm a sample mangler so this is very cool :)
what's the source material, youtube vids?
Re: Show HN: Sonic Garbage
#3very cool. what's the relationship between the colour and sound? just random?
Re: Show HN: Sonic Garbage
#4Are the colours supposed to mean anything? It would be useful to tell at a glance roughly the type of sound I'm going to get (male voice, female voice, instrument, percussion, machine noise, etc)

#5Decided to look into greg
Clicked his instagram, first video is a live comedy performance introduced by Matthew Silver..
greg is pretty cool

#6Really enjoy playing with this. As others have noted, would find it more usable if the colors indicated source types (but acknowledge the purposeful intent to keep this instrument less predictable for the sake of playfulness).
A bit off-topic, but I might actually find this approach useful for music production, especially if I could just drag and drop a folder of samples into a grid in an M4L plugin.
Very cool - I still find Reich's looping sample experiments inspiring!

And even more off-topic (sorry!).
To this day I find pretty elemental algorithmic and/or deterministic composition experiments far more inspiring and idiosyncratic than gen AI. There is such a wide gap between gen AI sound generation and the prompter, that the result feels utterly disconnected from the composer's intent.

#9My wife just looked at me and said that needs to stop, the sounds need to die.

#10This is really cool. I played around for a minute or so and ended up with a cute little loop that reminds me of something from Four Tet’s Pink album. It just needs some sort of analogue drum machine underneath with some subtle sidechaining on the kick and it’d be ready for general consumption. So soothing.
