I love singing. I'm no pro-level singer but over the past few years I've realized I've become better at it. Being good in singing is one of my dreams.

The xx have shared a third mysterious snippet of music on their playlist of songs they are listening to in the studio. In the last weeks, the band has shared two other 55 second clips with the artist, album, and song title all listed as â-â accompanied by a white square for artwork. This new one is also 55 seconds long, and it is an instrumental track. And like the other two, it also lists the xx's label, Young Turks, as its label. You can listen to the new snippet below. The xx's last album was 2012's Coexist. In 2015, Jamie xx released his solo album In Colour, which featured both of his bandmates, Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim. Read our 2012 interview with the trio.  Watch the xx perform âBasic Spaceâ for Pitchfork.tv:Â
Adobe is developing a new audio software called Project VoCo, which can synthesize and edit speech with unsettling realism, the Verge reports. The software company unveiled a demo of the program at their recent MAX conference, and it is being billed as a kind of audio equivalent to Photoshop. One of its most notable features is that it can produce new words and sentences using recordings of someone's voice. With a minimum of 20 minutes of speech, the program can analyze and understand the intricacies of a speaker's vocal patterns. Then, words and full sentences can be edited and added with startling accuracy in that person's natural speaking voice. Below, you can watch a demo of the program in action featuring Jordan Peele. Here's a statement Adobe shared with Popular Mechanics about how the software works:
Since Adobe launched its flagship Photoshop program in 1990, the veracity of digital images has been met with scrutiny. In 2012, for example, the Associated Press severed ties with a Pulitzer Prize winning photographer over manipulated images. Obviously, there are serious ethical implications to consider when it becomes possible to doctor entire sentences in someone else's voice. Adobe has yet to announce plans to commercially release Project VoCo. |
