- aabhay 6y agoVibert is a badass! I met him through a friend last year and for every project released he has a trove of awesome demos lying around. Great work dude, excited to see what you do next.
- Abishek_Muthian 6y agoVery cool! Does the Magenta project used here have models for musical instruments identification or can be used to create one? Does anyone have better suggestions for the identification of musical instruments from audio? I'm trying to solve the need gap -'Display musical instruments used in a song' posted on my problem validation platform[1].

- syspec 6y agoThere is a whole genre YT channels of this style of music, which all play 24/7 The most famous channel of it that I know of is ChilledCow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A But there are others such as: SynthWave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVcMequS9vE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVcMequS9vE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-Jdm0H-A9k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-Jdm0H-A9k NeoChill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx63aT4UvDI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx63aT4UvDI And many more. Great background music for coding
- komali2 6y agoFrom my little slice of amateur producer internet there's also dramatic controversy around the genre. Issues such as how much sampling can you slap together and still call it your own piece, excessive vinyl effects, arguments about track lengths and loops, what it even means to be lo fi. It's fun to watch and results in great music! And also hence why lofihiphopbeatstostudyto has pretty much infinite material to work through.

- m463 6y agoI listened to the first one on that list "chill gaming" and.. part way in ... it skips! is that part of the experience?
- wukerplank 6y agoAlso, the Death Metal Relentless Doppelgänger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwtVkPKx3RA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwtVkPKx3RA
- chrisco255 6y agoLove synthwave, it is fantastic for focus and is very upbeat. Plus I dig the art style and the whole 80s neon motif in general. Good stuff.
- unixhero 6y agoPlus! It makes me set same goals in my life. I must now save up for buying a Ferrari Testarossa.
- codetrotter 6y agoIt’s kind of a weird car. https://youtu.be/K1jB4vYji6A https://youtu.be/K1jB4vYji6A Personally I would not buy it. But some people may find the quirks of it charming I suppose.
- unixhero 6y agoVery cool video :)
- AgloeDreams 6y agoSomehow I already knew it would be the Doug video coming into it, he is fantastic and such a great guy too! However, the Countach is where it is at. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOQC24gAghE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOQC24gAghE
- codetrotter 6y agoHaha yeah that one is great :)

- wodenokoto 6y ago> The most famous channel of it that I know of is ChilledCow Does anyone know the business model? I'm getting adds for this one on instagram.
- avian 6y agoMy guess is they give artists exposure in exchange for a share of the profits through their channels. I don't know if they can monetize the free stream on YouTube, but they also stream on payable streaming services and sell albums on Bandcamp.
- MogwaiAllOnYou 6y agoThey do sell merch, although I don't know how much that's likely to bring in
- nangz2 6y agoSpotify chill-hop/"music to study to" playlists are popular and people listen to them repeatedly and for long stretches of time which makes them lucrative for streaming revenue. I know someone who runs a chill-hop "record label". Their most popular songs get on big spotify chill-hop playlists and have ~10 million spotify streams. This equates to around $50-70k USD. Most of their releases have a fraction of this but it is worth it for the odd hit.
- spike021 6y agoI can readily admit to looking for random 1-hour videos of Lo-Fi music on Youtube that really do sound like what I'm able to "create" with this player. OP, thanks for posting this!
- pfarrell 6y agoThis is one I’ve zoned out to several times, Space Trip: https://youtu.be/wOMwO5T3yT4 https://youtu.be/wOMwO5T3yT4
- madmax108 6y agoIt's funny how a bunch of these streams have actually become communities in and of themselves, with people coming in, chatting about life, work, heartbreak etc. while recommending new artists to check out (esp. if you are a fan of indie music, these live chats are gold). Most of them are also actively administered and have very little tolerance to bullshitting/harassment so they end up as a great place to hang out. I usually pair RainyMood [1] along with one of these streams while working and that has a very calming effect and is a great multiplier for my productivity. Truly reminds me of a IRC groups I hung out on a decade ago, and this is the closest to a Web 1.0 forum-like environment built around music. More power to such great communities.

- mmanulis 6y agoThat's such a great idea with rainymood pairing, thanks for sharing!
- grasshopperpurp 6y agoI enjoyed the Switched on Pop episode on Lo-Fi. I don't listen to it a lot, and I didn't know much about its origins, but I'm a big fan of J Dilla and Madlib, who they cite as major influences on the genre. Strong rec for J Dilla's album, Donuts. https://switchedonpop.com/episodes/why-lo-fi-is-the-perfect-background-music https://switchedonpop.com/episodes/why-lo-fi-is-the-perfect-...
- lillesvin 6y agoNear the start of the corona lockdown, Will Smith published 1½ hours of chill/lofi hip-hop by various different artists on his channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA56B4JyTgI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA56B4JyTgI He even did a Will Smith/Fresh Prince-themed take on ChilledCow's aesthetic. Pretty good stuff.
- lloydatkinson 6y ago+1 for ChilledCow I pretty much have that or my other favourite channel (The Jazz Hop Café) open all the time https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi8wqezBudeAiTdKOX571ug https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi8wqezBudeAiTdKOX571ug about once a week or so a new video compilation is uploaded.
- unixhero 6y agoThe user interface kind of reminds me of Zak Makcraken and the alien mind benders by Lucas Arts. Very charming!
- rubatuga 6y agoSounds great!
- llimos 6y agoI absolutely love this! Pinning the tab immediately. Loving the positional audio when using headphones.
- 082349872349872 6y agoTIL Muzak was founded in 1934.
- rjzzleep 6y agoWhile this is cool I have a general question to people here: How do other people here handle tensorflow as a python dependency? People use it like it's any other dependency, but it frequently adds unnamed amounts of dependencies, creates conflicts every now and then, is just massively huge and for the longest time of its 1.x existence was constantly breaking some PEP's causing problems with third party tools. It's kind of poison to custom docker files. How do you guys handle this situation? This isn't really my responsibility but whenever I deal with ML engineers doing tensorflow stuff I feel like I'm immediately also a plumber.
- JosephRedfern 6y agoI tend to use Anaconda where possible, makes such dependencies easier to manage (but still not trivial... though you can change cuda runtimes with Anaconda, the actual driver is a system-wide dependency, of course).
- GistNoesis 6y agoPython Virtual-env You create one new virtual environment for each different project, and you throw them away and build them up again once a problem appear.
- 6ak74rfy 6y agoYep, always use Python virtual environments to manage dependencies. Here are my notes around that: https://ketanvijayvargiya.com/notes/39-python-setup/ https://ketanvijayvargiya.com/notes/39-python-setup/
- nunja 6y agoVirtual envs are very practical for this as it does not mess up with the global python env. Also for inference / production, I just export my models to ONNX format which is more easy to work with thanks the available runtimes: ONNX Runtime for C++ or ONNX.js.
- mark_l_watson 6y agoOn my MacBook, I create a separate conda (Anaconda) environment for TensorFlow. A few years ago I bought a System76 laptop with a 1080 GPU. I rely on the System76 update system to keep Python + CUDA + TensorFlow all up to date. I manually install PyTorch for when I need it. This works well because I only use this laptop for deep learning.
- bobross 6y agoI love the concept and the user interface very much!
- mlang23 6y agoInteresting gamification of music. Inherently inaccessible though, as will be most (pseudo-)AR that is coming up. I prefer playing with the real thing, there is really nothing more fun then a hands-on synth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr2s2Xsy6_4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr2s2Xsy6_4
- simongr3dal 6y agoI've been watching that "Loading…" for several minutes now. Are there any browser requirements that Safari isn't fulfilling? An error message would have been nice.
- ergl 6y agoI also had problems making it work in Safari. Firefox worked for me.
- chris_st 6y agoWow, that is a small font. Consider resizing for larger screens?
- calebkaiser 6y agoEvery time I see one of these projects, it gets me more and more excited about magenta/TF.js. I feel like we're just scratching the surface with these kinds of projects, and they're already awesome. As someone who works on model serving infra, there are so many tricky problems teams run into around running inference that—at least in theory/in part—seem like they could be elegantly circumvented by running certain models directly in the browser. I really hope to see more development in this space in the coming years.
- ElijahLynn 6y agoBeen tinkering with this and it is a pretty solid focus stream! Bookmarking.
