We're not saying you're obsolete, but Google is making music humans can't

The company's AI research team, Google Magenta, announced a new project in April called Neural Synthesizer, or NSynth, which generates audio using deep neural networks. That technology will be demonstrated at Durham, North Carolina's annual arts and technology festival, Moogfest, later this week.

According to the company, NSynth gives "artists with intuitive control over timbre and dynamics and the ability to explore new sounds that would be difficult or impossible to produce with a hand-tuned synthesizer," the company said in their announcement. The resulting sound is not like playing two of the individual sounds together, Cinjon Resnick, a member of the Magenta team told Wired.
