“Cabinet” merges human creativity with AI to explore how sound can be reimagined as physical form. Leveraging tools like ChatGPT and Stable-Dreamfusion, we take musicians' descriptions of their sounds and transform them into interactive, 3D-printed objects. Our process is hybrid, blending AI-generated models with human curation and hand-crafted elements, bridging the intangible nature of sound with the material world.

In collaboration with local bands, including The Catchwords and Abel, we generate objects that reflect the unique sonic identities of these musicians. Each piece offers a new way of experiencing music—through touch and interaction—pushing the boundaries of how music is created and experienced. As the project evolves, we aim to expand these prototypes into functional musical instruments, creating new opportunities for both novice and professional musicians to incorporate these objects into live performances, enhanced by AI-driven creativity.

Invitation to Engage: We invite you to engage with the five objects before you. Touch, pick up, and explore these pieces, each representing the sonic identity of a local artist. Interact with the display, listen to the accompanying sounds, and immerse yourself in this fusion of human creativity and AI-driven design, where sound takes on a new, physical form.
