Blob Opera is a machine learning experiment by David Li in collaboration with Google Arts and Culture. This experiment pays tribute to and explores the original musical instrument: the voice. Play four opera voices in real time; no singing skills required! Drag the blobs up and down to change pitch, or forward and backwards for different vowel sounds. You can have these blobs go on tour to various cities around the world, and have them sing famous works, or even your original music! You can access Blob Opera here.
