A digital extension for the Teenage Engineering OP–Z synthesizer translating music into real-time AI generated imagery.
Initiated by creative studio Modem, we connected the OP–Z to Stable Diffusion, an advanced AI system capable of creating original images from a description in natural language. Inspired by synesthesia theory, the extension translates audio metrics such as pitch, key, notes, rhythm and BPM into Stable Diffusion prompts describing color, shapes and movements of the imagery.
