Engram sampler turns AI hallucinations into music

Music startup Thoughtful Things has launched a Kickstarter for Engram, a sampler and groovebox that uses AI to manipulate incoming audio and generate entirely new sounds. Unlike generative music tools aimed at polished, radio-ready output, Engram is designed for experimental and uncanny sonic territory, pushing AI audio models beyond their intended limits. The device focuses on creative mangling and hallucinated audio rather than automated songwriting.
