Earlier this year, musical artist Grimes unveiled software called Elf.Tech, which allows users to submit vocals and have them reproduced by Grimes using voice synthesis. If approved, users will have an official Grimes collaboration and Grimes will get 50% of the profits.

Always interested in pushing the limits of new tech, we wanted to try it out. We submitted some Auralnuats stuff and some other original pieces, but we weren't thrilled with the results (the Last Laser Master was particularly abysmal).

Except for one.

A little while ago, we composed and produced an anime style theme song for our friends over at 1-900-Hotdog. If you're unfamiliar, we've produced a few different songs for their podcast based on various themes. They wanted something evocative of anime opening credits, so we created an epic and bubbly song about friendship and processed meats.

Fast forward to now, where the arbiters of the Grimes AI have approved our collaboration, so now we have a track about hot dog magic sung by Grimes in perfect Japanese. The future is now.

To take it a step further, we reached out to some video producers to whip up an AI generated anime style music video to go with it. And it's.......wow. Enjoy!
