Today we are glad to release Synthetic Baroque the first full length album of Placebo Button, a new project of John Beers (active mostly under the Luciftias name), using new methods to produce ambient melodic soundscapes.
All pieces are created using a generative process beginning with text prompts being fed into Dream.ai. The resulting images are then resized and processed by the image2sound Python utility, which converts them to audio using the RGB values of each pixel. The red, green, and blue 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.
