Find them the next time you search on Google for winter holidays like 'Hanukkah,' 'Christmas' and 'Kwanzaa. to and explores the original musical instrument the voice Play four opera voices. Google Arts & Culture has also created holiday-themed virtual colouring books. Blob Opera is machine learning experiment by David Li in collaboration. The creative holiday fun doesn’t end there. But no worries if you’re feeling a bit too shy to compose: You can also have the Blobs put on a festive performance while you sit back and enjoy classics like “Jingle Bells” and “O Holy Night.” The blobs respond and harmonise to your input in real time. The resulting experiment allows you to play Blob Opera, altering pitch & vowel sounds to create your own composition. In the experiment you don’t hear their voices, but rather the machine learning model’s understanding of what opera singing sounds like, based on what it learned from the opera singers.

Tenor, Christian Joel, bass Frederick Tong, mezzo-soprano Joanna Gamble and soprano Olivia Doutney recorded many hours of singing. We developed a machine learning model trained on the voices of four opera singers in order to create an engaging experiment for everyone, regardless of musical skills. This experiment pays tribute to and explores the original musical instrument: the voice.
