Übergangsmusik
I titled this album Übergangsmusik ("transitional music") because it captures a period of change for both PLACEB0_BUTT0N and the conversion utility used in generating the music. On one hand, more finely tuned controls were able to be used in the creation process. On the other, there is still the dreamy ambience present in most of the preceding work. Because of the similarities with the "Synthetic Baroque" album, I hesitated to release it. However, I found myself coming back to it, letting myself be carried away, and I decided that I would share it anyway. For those wanting to hear greater growth, rest assured that the next will one will fulfill that desire. For everyone else, enjoy Übergangsmusik!

A new Placebo Button album is planned to release on Terminalia (23 Feb). "Übergangsmusik" will consist of tracks made before I introduced a number of newer features to image2sound and is very much in line with the first album, "Synthetic Baroque".

PLACEB0_BUTT0N is an experimental ambient music project by John Beers (Luciftias). Most pieces are created using a generative process beginning with text prompts being fed into an AI, but some images are made using other methods. The results are then processed by the image2sound Python utility, which converts them to audio using the color values of each pixel. The individual color-audio files are imported into Audacity, panned to broaden the stereo spectrum, and further enhanced with reverb, EQ, and fades. Finally, the volume is leveled to reach the final form. Please note that, while AI has been involved in creating the artwork via prompts, none of the audio is created by AI. It is generated solely by interpreting the color data from the images presented to the Python utility. There is, however, human interaction, such as decided the tempo, key, etc.

Placebo Button
PLACEB0_BUTT0N is an experimental ambient music project by John Beers (Luciftias). All pieces are created using a generative process involving AI artwork, a Python utility which converts images to audio, and processing via Audacity.
On Friday August 4, I will be releasing a new #PlaceboButton track, which will be the first one created using the "reveal" mode I implemented in #image2sound 0.5.
