Yes, jellyfish DJ’d the “opening set” at #GoogleIO this year. 🪼Let’s dive in 🌊 We partnered with Monterey Bay Aquarium to build a generative music experiment where moon jellies, live-streamed from their home at the aquarium, controlled music made by Lyria 3. The jellies were tracked by a lightweight object detection model running on a tiny Coral NPU housed on a Synaptics Coralboard — the same type of object detection model used to power conservation efforts in the Great Barrier Reef. The Coralboard sent the jellies’ coordinates to our music generation engine. Each quadrant of the screen represented an instrument — drums, bass, chords or melody. The number of jellies in each quadrant determined the weighting of those sounds, translating their movements into music.

Me and jellies

Stoked that my little jellyfish ambient music thing opened google I/o, but somehow more proud that my local edge version end up a demo project for the new coral boards. You can put it in your house and it plays ambient music based on the positions of jellyfish in a livestream.

Because of you lawyers I have to explain to my 4 year old why there is this writing on every single magnet - he thought it was maybe their names. Insane how in society we have just accepted this pointless legalese vandalising every facet of our lives. I need a drink.
