Description

I used Google's DeepDream processing as an audio effect. Therefore, I export music magnitude spectrogram as RGB channels of PNG images and apply so-called 'Gradient Ascent' with pre-trained networks to these images. Afterwards, I convert the resulting images to spectrograms again and resynthesize them using Griffin and Lim's method.

Installation

You need to have a running version of caffe (http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org) on your machine There are hundreds of tutorials describing how to install it (it takes some time...). Anyhow, the notebook with an example is best viewed here: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/stefan-balke/deepdreameffect/blob/master/dream.ipynb
