“The magic of performing art is one of the most difficult things to grasp from a technical standpoint. Laurent is a musician who studied at a conservatory in France and worked in music for 10 years. “We were very excited to get the invitation to bring Blob Opera to I/O with new features,” says Laurent Gaveau, who’s the head of Google Arts & Culture lab. “I stopped playing piano a very long time ago.” Pamela is a producer for Google, and despite her non-musical background, she’s part of a very special, very experimental musical project: bringing Blob Opera to I/O. “I’m definitely not a musician,” says Pamela Peter-Agbia.
At the time, he simply wanted to explore what technology could do with the human voice - but the Blob Opera quickly became a hit.
"Opera singers use their voices as expressive and beautiful musical instruments and I was interested in the idea of making interactive versions of these voices, so that anyone could play with them,” he says. When artist David Li partnered with Google Arts & Culture on a machine learning experiment in late 2020, he didn't realize the project would make a return at this week’s I/O.
