By running custom-trained models offline and encouraging users to "break" the system, the device treats AI hallucinations as a creative tool rather than a bug to be fixed. This approach offers musicians a tangible way to explore latent spaces without relying on cloud connectivity or proprietary ecosystems.
Engram is a sampler that turns broken AI hallucinations into music
Music startup Thoughtful Things has just launched the Kickstarter campaign for its first instrument, Engram. It's a sampler and groovebox that uses AI to mangle incoming audio and even hallucinate completely new sounds. This isn't Suno in a box, though. This isn't a "push-button, get-song" device, aimed at creating something that sounds ready for top-40 radio. It's about creating experimental, uncanny sounds and pushing AI audio models beyond their limits. Engram isn't connected to the internet. Instead, it runs a "tiny AI" locally. According to the Kickstarter listing, the model is designed in-house and custom-trained. The company says: … Read the full story at The Verge.
