Mechanical reproduction of digitized speech on a piano

impressive

holy shit this is awesome

i wonder if there is a plugin or software that can convert speech to midi like this . i know of many speech 2 midi converters but they are nothing like this

holy jesus! that was amazing. need to be implemented into music somehow

I posted this in the youtube thread.

You think RDJ with his laptop-controlled drukqs piano would have thought of this first.

That's fucking cool.

WOW

Peter Ablinger - A Letter From Schoenberg

not really intelligible. here's a better version, with subtitles (but no video):

more examples, with various pianos:

some of these sound really cool:

looks like an entire cd is available:

That is fucking amazing.

yes this is very awesome.

I wanna grab phranks cat and give it a tight affectionate squeez.

cool as fuck

this is one of the least "meh" things i've ever seen

fourier analysis.

i like how the consonants are approximated by very low and very high notes. hadn't thought of that, even though it's obvious when you think about it.

Oh lawd, is dat some klangkunst?

is there a program that does Fourier analysis and converts it to midi piano roll?

yeah, i can remember a lecturer at uni showing me a few years ago. he put a shite coldplay track into it and it showed what underlying notes were being played using midi piano roll. quite cool.

it was for apple mac so fuck knows what it was. sorry mate.

nsfw

Yeah. Any of you who are familiar with the technical side of it, would there need to be analysis of the piano waveforms first to produce this. It seems counterintuitive to think they could just make assumptions about the fundementals and it would sound this nice.

i dont think it would need to be done on the piano, it seems to me like it could work with any instrument that has a similar timbre to a piano even an electronic one.
