Christmas songs are ubiquitous during the festive season, but most of them lose their luster after you\u2019ve heard them a trillion times.<\/p>\n

If you wish this really would be the Last Christmas<\/em> you\u2019re forced to endure Wham, Google\u2018s new Blob Opera<\/a> offers a chance to create something a little different.<\/p>\n

The machine learning experiment by artist David Lee<\/a> lets you create an operatic festive song for a quartet of colorful blobs to sing.<\/p>\n

The creatures were taught the art by professional songbirds Cristian Joel (tenor), Frederick Tong (bass), Joanna Gamble (mezzo\u2011soprano), and Olivia Doutney (soprano), who recorded 16 hours of singing to train the AI model how to warble. But the composition of the crooning is up to you.<\/p>\n

Just click on one of the blobs and drag it up and down in pitch, and side-to-side to produce different vowel sounds. Another machine learning model will make them harmoniously respond to your directions in real-time.<\/p>\n
