We're using audio analysis, and applying that to control the output of a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) trained on a particular set of images, which define the visual theme.

My co-founder has a YouTube channel where he will be going into technical detail how this all works. He will be posting a video in the coming weeks. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNIkB2IeJ-6AmZv7bQ1oBYg

Thanks! I didn't notice the first example where its more apparent there are paintings used as a source material -- are the other examples on the landing page produced from paintings or some other original source? It would be an interesting task to try and design images knowing they will be used as the GAN's inspiration.

Also out of curiosity, did you determine anything about the legality of training the GAN on copyrighted images and decidings its output is its own creative work, or using public domain images?
