Blob Opera

About this Website

Blob Opera is an innovative, web-based musical experiment created by David Li in collaboration with Google Arts & Culture. It lets users craft unique opera performances by controlling four colorful, animated blobs—each representing a different vocal range: soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, and bass. Using intuitive mouse controls, you can drag the blobs up and down to change pitch, or side to side to adjust vowel sounds. The blobs harmonize automatically, producing rich, operatic music in real time—no music knowledge required. What makes Blob Opera a fantastic website to visit when bored is its combination of creativity, accessibility, and instant gratification. The playful interface and adorable characters invite experimentation, allowing anyone to compose harmonious melodies or silly tunes just by moving the blobs. The AI-driven harmonization ensures everything sounds polished, making it fun for both music enthusiasts and casual users. You can even record and share your performances, adding a social and interactive element to the experience.
