Music & audio Co-created
PROTO
An album recorded with Spawn, a neural network Herndon trained on her own voice and on a choir of collaborators.
Where the human came in
Herndon built and trained the model with Mat Dryhurst and Jules LaPlace, wrote the songs, and treated Spawn as one more voice in an ensemble.
Why it is not slop
The training data is consensual and the model is a collaborator with a credited role. The record sounds like nothing else.
