It combines audio pulled from shortwave and FM broadcasts, web streams, live microphones, and a bit of the Internet Archive. Sam has shared the Python scripts that assemble each day's album and used AI tools to help build the project. He listens to each daily album, picks favorite tracks, and plans to release a human-curated 'Best Of' collection once the project wraps up. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### how does the Impermanence Series A project generate its daily albums It uses Python scripts, created by Sam Scorsby with help from AI tools, that pull audio from shortwave and FM broadcasts, web streams, live microphones, and the Internet Archive and randomly combine the clips into a unique album each day. Sam then listens to each day's output and picks favorite tracks for an eventual human-curated 'Best Of' compilation. _Developers curious about blending audio scraping and AI tooling can find more creative coding builds on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Making machines that can listen](https://daily.dev/posts/making-machines-that-can-listen-gj0jfeqrt) · MIT News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai](https://daily.dev/tags/ai), [#python](https://daily.dev/tags/python), [#generative-art](https://daily.dev/tags/generative-art) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/the-sounds-of-the-world-one-random-album-at-a-time-pubrnchqp) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"The Sounds Of The World, One Random Album At A Time","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-sounds-of-the-world-one-random-album-at-a-time-pubrnchqp","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-sounds-of-the-world-one-random-album-at-a-time-pubrnchqp"},"datePublished":"2026-10-30T11:31:47.759Z","dateModified":"2026-10-30T11:39:21.328Z","description":"Impermanence Series A is a project by Sam Scorsby that generates a new one-of-a-kind album every day.
