DADABOTS
DADABOTS is an AI music project run by Zack Zukowski and CJ Carr that uses neural networks to generate raw audio across extreme and experimental genres. The site describes them as a band, hackathon team, and research lab that writes code, publishes papers, and releases music from the same project.
Their work spans SampleRNN-based albums, diffusion models, GuitarPro token datasets, and 24/7 YouTube livestreams that generate death metal, mathcore, jazz, breakcore, and other styles nonstop. Featured projects include Relentless Doppelganger (neural technical death metal), GENRE CANNON, and collaborations with artists like Reeps One, Silverstein, and Vulvodynia.
DADABOTS also releases open source tools such as Stable Audio Tools, DadaGP, and SampleRNN implementations. The science page catalogs peer-reviewed research on neural music synthesis dating back to 2017.
Generate raw audio music with neural networks across death metal, mathcore, jazz, and breakcore
Run 24/7 YouTube livestreams that produce endless AI-generated music
Publish peer-reviewed research and open source tools like DadaGP and Stable Audio Tools
Release albums, documentaries, and AI Song Contest entries spanning multiple years
Book live performances, workshops, keynotes, and artist collaborations
Pioneering open research and code in neural audio generation since 2017.
Free 24/7 livestreams and a large catalog of AI-generated albums.
Active collaborations with real musicians and bands across genres.
Focused on experimental and extreme music rather than mainstream pop.
Most tools require technical skill to run locally; not a simple web app for casual users.
What is DADABOTS?
According to their FAQ, DADABOTS is a cross between a band, hackathon team, and research lab. Zack and CJ write the science, build the software, and make the music in one project.
How does DADABOTS generate music?
Their early albums used SampleRNN, a hierarchical LSTM trained on raw acoustic waveforms. Newer work includes diffusion models, GuitarPro token generation, and tools like Stable Audio Tools.
Is DADABOTS music free to listen to?
Yes. The site hosts free 24/7 livestreams and links to albums on Bandcamp and videos on YouTube with no paid tier listed.
Does DADABOTS release open source code?
Yes. The science page links to open projects including Stable Audio Tools, DadaGP encoder/decoder, and the original SampleRNN implementation.
What genres does DADABOTS cover?
Their music catalog spans death metal, black metal, math rock, mathcore, breakcore, jazz, beatbox, punk, and electronic styles, among others listed on the music page.
Can I book DADABOTS for an event?
The homepage invites bookings for performances, dance parties, workshops, keynotes, hackathons, and artist residencies.
