DADABOTS

DADABOTS

CJ and Zack are the music hacker duo DADABOTS. They met at Berklee College of Music & formed DADABOTS at Music Hack Day MIT in 2012. From playing in metal, punk, and noise bands, to studying composition & programming, they realized machine learning was an even more extreme way to make sound & dove completely into eliminating themselves from music. In 2017 they published a paper at NeurIPS “Generating Black Metal and Math Rock” about SampleRNN (now considered vintage AI). Advancing from songs to endless streams, they run possibly the longest continuous 24/7 YouTube livestream, Relentless Doppelganger, generating techdeath for 5+ years. They co-founded Harmonai, the music research team within StabilityAI, and created Stable Audio, which was on TIME’s best inventions of 2023. Recently they published a documentary PROMPT JOCKEYS about live DJing music that doesn’t exist yet.
