Summary

Description

Demonstration of an algorithmically-generated audio track featuring 1980s synthesiser pop music, created using Riffusion, an open-source fine-tuned derivative of the Stable Diffusion image-generation diffusion model that has been retrained to generate images of audio spectrograms, which can then be converted into audio files.

An audio spectrogram is a visual representation of an audio clip's frequency content, and images of spectrograms can be converted into audio via short-time Fourier transform, using the Griffin-Lim algorithm to approximate phase during audio reconstruction. While the Stable Diffusion AI model is originally intended to generate visual images from a textual prompt, Riffusion has been retrained from Stable Diffusion v1.5 to instead generate spectrogram images from text prompts describing musical motifs, fine-tuned through the use of Nvidia A10G enterprise datacenter GPUs.

Procedure/Methodology

The spectrograms were generated using the Riffusion Inference Server running the riffusion-model-v1 diffusion model, paired with the Riffusion App UI frontend. The following values were used:

  • Prompt: "1980s synthwave pop"
  • Seed Image: Marim (3 loops), Motorway (2 loops), OG Beat (3 loops)
  • Denoising: 0.75

This resulted in the output spectrogram image:

Spectrograms were then converted to WAV audio using this python script:

Audio converted from spectrogram
Riffusion generates 512×512 resolution images which each represent 5 second chunks of looping audio; for the convenience of the reader, the eight generated spectrogram images have been merged together in GIMP along the x-axis (which represents time), and the audio files have been merged together in Audacity and then converted to OGG Vorbis.
