THE AI ANGLE
Generating glitchy audio hallucinations locally

Thoughtful Things launched a Kickstarter for Engram, an offline hardware sampler and groovebox. The device runs an internal AI model trained on openly licensed audio to warp sounds and generate glitchy textures. Artists can modify the instrument and use its broken outputs for experimental sound design.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
