Engram is a sampler that turns broken AI hallucinations into music

What happened

Music startup Thoughtful Things has just launched the Kickstarter campaign for its first instrument, Engram. It's a sampler and groovebox that operates with AI to mangle incoming audio and even hallucinate (an AI system stating something that is not true) completely new sounds.

This isn't Suno in a box, though. This isn't a "push-button, get-song" device, aimed at creating something that sounds ready for top-40 radio. It's about creating experimental, uncanny sounds and pushing AI audio models beyond their limits.
