Four opera singers recorded no less than 16 hours of vocals (tenor Christian Joel, bass Frederick Tong, mezzo-soprano Joanna Gable and soprano Olivia Doutney). It’s a bit bizarre, of course, but it’s a playful way to show what data can mean. There is also a playlist button and you can choose multiple backgrounds and songs, in addition to making your own opera with the funny creatures. If you don’t do anything, the Blobs will keep singing the song over and over, but there’s also a start/stop button if you’re tired of the polyphony. It is an experiment, so you are challenged to discover for yourself how it works. The blobs can sing because of the enormous amount of data they have processed: machine learning.
Unfortunately, the Christmas carols are already gone, but there is a New Year’s song called Auld Lang Syne. Blob Operaīlob Opera has been around for some time, but now it has got a special holiday repertoire.
Google’s Blob Opera project is a bit crazy, but it’s not just for fun: it’s a project that stole the show at the Google I/O conference, because the blobs work with machine learning. It’s a funny sight: the four Blobs ready to sing you an opera.
