Once upon a time, I decided to take a little ditty from TMBG's ditty melody "Fingertips" (i.e. "Who's That Standing Out The Window?") and continue it using OpenAI's "Jukebox" AI model. For days, I've been trying to use the AI to generate and upsample the samples (despite the errors and usage limits), and now, under the "They Might Be Artificial Intelligence" moniker, I've handpicked some of the samples I got, and complied them to make an "album" that shall be available for free download, and also for non-commercial purposes with the intention of educating and also furthering research in machine learning, generative music, etc. Therefore, "Beyond Infinity" is done in the way Dadabots intended.
The release of this "album" coincides with the 29th anniversary of the United States release of TMBG's fourth studio album Apollo 18.
"Someone help me! I'm an album description! Let me out of here, please!"
released March 24, 2021
CREDITS:
The primer sample used for this mostly AI-generated album is "Who's That Standing Out The Window?", from the Fingertips Suite as heard in the 1992 album Apollo 18 by They Might Be Giants (John Flansburgh and John Linnell).
Samples and lyrics generated entirely using AI (specifically Jukebox and Keywords To Lyrics).
"Drought (Bonus Track)" generated through MuseNet (which is also an AI model).
"Copyright Disclaimer TIme (Bonus Track)" made through CoolSpeech (which is a text-to-speech software, not artificial intelligence).
Artwork based on the Apollo 18 album cover.
Album title generated via FantasyNameGenerators (
