Four opera singers spent hours in the studio recording operatic music. The Blob Opera is an interactive Google Arts & Culture project from December 2020 that lets users create their own opera song, sung by animated blobs. Google opened its I/O developer conference Tuesday with a performance that felt genuinely innovative, and actually fun, from the avant-garde vocal and electronica artist Tune-Yards - and Google's own Blob Opera. Find them the next time you search on Google for winter holidays like "Hanukkah," "Christmas" and "Kwanzaa.Trunchbull enthusiasts assemble, 'Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical's trailer is here Google Arts & Culture has also created holiday-themed virtual colouring books. 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.
