It may not be as flashy, but I am going to continue focusing my work in the music space on interactive tools to enhance creativity for professionals and amateurs alike!

Morning #ICML2018 . Come check out the awesome set of talks at the workshop on Machine Learning for Music! I'll be presenting the recently launched Magenta.js library and talking about how it is engaging artists, musicians, and creative coders.

Announcing new project: GANHarp This is an experimental musical instrument based on Magenta's GANSynth and Magenta.js. It synthesizes timbres from latent space, and then lets you morph between them as you play. #MadeWithMagenta 🎹

Some fun work by our team in the Google Doodle today to celebrate Bach's birthday! Super proud of @huangcza who did a lot of this work as my intern 3 years ago (w/ very little help from me) and continues to do amazing things!!

Check out our new blog post on Coconet 🥥, the #ml behind the Bach Doodle that’s live now! It’s a flexible infilling model that generates counterpoint through rewriting. @koning_robot , @notwaldorf , @ada_rob , @fjord41 , @AaronCourville , @douglas_eck
