Google’s latest developer conference, the I/O event, kicked off in a unique and energetic way this year with musician Marc Rebillet showcasing Google’s AI DJ mode. Known for his improvised electronic tracks and lively vocals, Rebillet’s performance added a party-like atmosphere to the typically more subdued tech event.
Google recently introduced a DJ mode to its generative AI text-to-music tool, MusicFX, allowing users to create music by inputting simple prompts like instruments and music styles. Rebillet’s demonstration at the event highlighted the tool’s capabilities, creating synced-up tracks based on audience direction and prompts.
MusicFX presents users with a mixer-style interface where they can layer text prompts to generate music in real-time. The tool, still in development, offers a unique and interactive way to experiment with music creation. Interested users can try it out on Google’s AI Test Kitchen.
Rebillet, with a large following on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, is known for his entertaining and engaging musical content. His performance at the I/O event, complete with rainbow-hued robes and lively vocals, added a refreshing and energizing touch to the tech conference.
Overall, Google’s decision to feature Rebillet at the event was well-received, with many attendees expressing excitement and enjoyment at the unique start to the developer-focused conference.
