BACKGROUND:
"Daisy Bell" was composed by Harry Dacre in 1892. In 1961, the IBM 7094 became the first computer to sing, singing the song Daisy Bell. Vocals were programmed by John Kelly and Carol Lockbaum and the accompaniment was programmed by Max Mathews.
This performance was the inspiration for the famous scene in the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey in which the HAL 9000 computer sings the song as it is deactivated.

YAMAHA's "Daisy Project":
While it did not become a product, the "Elvis Project" helped establish that a series of phonetics in a wide range of pitches would help build a synthesizer based on any model. YAMAHA agreed to help them start a fresh new project; it was at this point that Kenmochi Hideki joined. The first initial ideas came from him in Japan in 2000, with most of the research done at the Pompeu Fabra University and the development of the core signal processing libraries created in C++. YAMAHA itself was responsible for the product design and development of the actual product. It was pure collaborative research, and they did not think about selling at that time.
At the time, synthesizers would take days to produce good quality results, but the vocal would always sound inhuman and obviously generated by a machine or computer. The price was expensive as well. This meant that while all other parts of the music production were by then fully able to be recreated in a DAW, producing a good quality vocal performance meant hiring a human vocalist. So, the aim of the project was to provide a fast, low cost way of getting uncanny human-like vocals to give producers full control of music production. They used "Elvis" as the base model for ideas and set about to tackle two main problems:
how to process and transform singer recordings so that it would result in a performance of a given song sounding as natural as possible and provide the feeling of a continuous flow
how to process and transform the singer recordings so that it would result in a performance of a given song sounding as natural as possible and provide the feeling of a continuous flow
The VOCALOID™ project was originally codenamed "Daisy Project" ("DAISYプロジェクト" or "でいじぃぷろじぇくと"), a name taken from the song "Daisy Bell" and was at a prototype stage in March 2002. (EpR ) was developed as the first voice model and it allow the researchers to transform vocal timbres in a natural manner while preserving subtle detail. At first, "Daisy" could only say vowels like "ai (love)". Four months later, "Daisy" began to support consonants, with the first "complete word" being "asa" (morning).
Because YAMAHA itself could only provide limited vocals, they licensed the software out to various 3rd party studios. The first studio to join this project was Crypton Future Media, who were contacted in May 2002. YAMAHA then attempted to find English studios to support an English version, but the majority of responses to contact were negative. The first studio to enter development was Zero-G, joining in the fall of 2002, with PowerFX also joining that year. Thus, both English and Japanese voicebanks began development.
At the 6th anniversary of VOCALOID™, Hiroyuki Itoh noted that they received demos from Zero-G without warning of what seemed to be a male vocal singing. Since they came unexpectedly, they did not realize they were VOCALOID™ demos and thought they were some sort of prank.
"Daisy" was demonstrated at the 6th anniversary of VOCALOID™, where a file called "Fly Me to the Moon" was played, the file was originally created for 7/16/2002 when Crypton were shown the first demonstration in their Sapporo office. "Daisy" still had troubles with consonants at the time.
"Daisy" dropped as a name due to conflicts with copyrighting - despite attempts to change the name (such as translating it into Japanese), they ultimately could not register it
The only 4 known vocals for "Daisy" were; LEON, LOLA, HANAKO and TARO. LEON and LOLA were the only ones ever to be shown to the public, releasing as official voicebanks for the final VOCALOID software.
To me, this isn't creepy, imagine the scientists walking around to hear it.
it was creepy at first but after watching it 38,978,797 times its comforting
Fantastic
Basically, if I was a scientist I would be happy
Reminds me of John Ward from FAITH: The Unholy Trinity
It's so nostalgic. It's the first ever vocaloid.
you most likely werent even born then so what do you mean "nostalgic"?
Am guessing it gives the feeling of nostalgia, with its quality of audio, its voice and its cheerful lyrics rather than the constant use of swearing in more modern music.
Were you alive in 1961? 😂
@Trawelsy They might don't know the concept of anemoia
@@4C0-q7h Swearing is cool
Tiktok : Make it Creepy
Me as a Nerd : Happy
I hate that tiktok ruined this song.
I myself am also a big nerd so yeah.
@@Singinasongsame
miku's grandfather sings so well
The first vocaloid
"Thanks for listening" made me smile
Yeah! It was adorable!
Ladies and gentlemen,i present the first vocaloid ever!
Voice synthesizer technically but amazing how the the haas shrunk to a program in your pc
Miku grandpa
This is actually peetty good for something programmed to sing for the first time
I wish TikTok did not make this song creepy.

it was already creepy but also fascinating but now its just creepy bc they made so many bs conspiracies 💀
@@AWJGamer what's creepy about a man who wants to marry a girl he like?
im talking about the melody. not the lyrics
@@AWJGamer they said song, not melody
I find it incredibly endearing that we create more and more complex machines, and the first thing we do with them is give them soul and love. The computer took up a whole room, it was at the very start, and we made it sing a love song. We sent voices saying I love you and childrens laugh into space in case there is someone there to listen to it. The mars rover was programmed to sing itself happy birthday, and when the battery ran out we cried and made poetry out of it. Yes there was death and suffering but there was love and the love mattered. It didn't change the story but it was there and it's important that it was there. I love you to the point of creation. All this all this
Thanks for writing this 😊
That’s why I really appreciate that disc that nasa launched to forever move across space in the hope another civilization comes across it and decodes it and they filled it with data explaining humans, earth, and our ideals and society and history and love to seek the stars.
Thank you for elaborating on this! It really is an insightful and sweet thought to live by!
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do
I'm half crazy all for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two.
listening to this in those horror tiktoks made this annoying but this is genuinely adorable i love him
Same!
yes but its scary when you hear it in gtag like don't get me wrong

@@BespokeYTyeah is anted GTAG but then I knew that there’s ghosts that can tell your address and ban you
A computer could already sing in the 60s?! how crazy! It's interesting how in the past things were more advanced than we think
Mikus Grandpa:
Basically true😂
Its so cute how they had so much power but used it to make a love song
Thats so beautiful ❤️ its like watching your child saying his first words🙏
Fr!
IBM should make a celebration by making their Daisy Bell song with their latest TTS generator.
Cool ideas
make the two harmonize
I remember seeing this on Tv back in the 1960s. I thought it incredibly cool. In 2001, HAL was sentenced to a lobotomy for murdering everyone and began singing this song. The original 2001 was in Cinerama, and a really immersive experience. I never really found the electronic vocal creepy, though I can see why some would. Showing my age
Remember?
Bro if you were born on the 1960s you would probably be dead

@felipev-pqqxk, lol no?
@@felipev.-pq1xkchild alert

we can make a machine sing. what if we gave it a soul?
Give a machine something that isn't real?

NO
Yasss man I need my pc to live
Yasss man I need my pc to live
Kinda crazy how this computer had the same power as a smartwatch because this computer takes up a whole floor of
this is amazing, in the very early 60's, this was the First Computer to sing
at the time this would be like trying to build a drone the size of a house
this is truly a marvel of Technology that should be celebrated and not for little kids to say "i'ts so scary!!!!" in comment sections.
again, this is comparable to making a drone the size of the house to lift off the ground. it was amazing
The fact that this song is believed to be scary. I find it sweet
The nostalgia… it’s getting to me.
これ別のとこで言われてたけど初音ミクのおじいちゃんじゃん。
TikTok makes this song seem scary but when I watched the video It made me happy because the computer sounded very joyful and happy and the computer even said thank you for listening. nicer than chat gbt
This 62 year old song is beautiful to hear in a sunset 😊😊😊
This is so nice! It's so happy!
To be, or not to be. That is the question.
JUST KIDDING!! Tuba, or not tuba. That is the question.
This is very impressive for 1961
0:01 I can’t believe that computers could talk so Long ago 🥹
I just find this comforting and wholesome for some reason
Computers learned to sing the year before I was born!
The people when this played: OH MY GOODNESS ME IT WORKED! IT'S BEEN MONTHS! YES!
Good song 😊
Stephen Hawking with a banger from heaven
You mean hell right?
'heaven' 💀
wholesome
2021: a lovely song
2024: DAISY09
0:10 It was actually the early 60s (1961)
Miku's grandfather. 🥰
0:17 looking at here seems IBM 7094 looks harder to tune because you have to do it all manually compared to vocaloid tuning
World's first vocoloid
Come on look miku, its your here to see you
this is amazing.
Man imagine the Excitement back in 1961 Everyone gathering round IBM 7094 To hear the first computer to Sing! its such a shame that tiktok exists maybe if it didnt this would be appreciated alot more
I Love it!
This was supposed to be a wedding song but people thought it was creepy
This is how daisy09 got her song😮
Hatsune Miku’s grandfather
This is so wholesome then the internet made it creepy
Normal people: 😀
Gorilla tag people: 💀💀💀💀💀
I don't think this song is creepy, it's just like hearing your baby speak for the first time
0:00 beat to 0:15
Thanks for listening *at the end*
I'd have this at my wedding
Only gorilla tag players will understand the fear this song brings
Oh thanks
Now i remember that
0:00 Never heard the robot talk before.
First movie: İyilik Hasret (1936)
Last movie of song: Denizde Kaçılacak (1962)
This is referenced in Stanley Kubrick's 2001 when HAL is regressing down through its memories as Dave is removing the computer modules. Classic!
I remember that song since i was 9 i saw it on tt
this song is both super wholesome and super disturbing. in this case of course, its wholesome, hearing the first ever computer to sing, though if a partygoer is chasing you in the backrooms, yeah its instantly creepy
WELL NO SHIT LMAO
@@turkey_sandwhich may i please contact your parents? because i want to tell them that turkey sandwich is a horrible name
Even though it sounds creepy its cool
People that call this creepy don't understand. Yes it may sound like it but back then they did not think it was creepy, it must have been a masterpiece and they probably were so exited. They took a long time to do it.
All of the above have nothing to do with the modern gaze. The first dolls weren't seen as creepy,but now we see them that way. Analog tv definitely was not seen a creepy...now its a whole horror genre. The way we think about older technologies greatly affects how we perceive things. Also,nobody's decrediting the work done here. Its not a personal attack.
This shit heat
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do!
I'm half crazy, all for the love of you! it won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage,
but you'll look sweet, upon the seat of a bicycle built for 2!☺
0:51 Stop
I didnt know computers were so good in 1961
calming during the day, scary during the night tbh but its mostly just from the scary tiktoks that use this song
Yeah and now it is creepy In the day with people saying obviously fake conspiracies on TikTok like “OMG IF U IGNOR DIS ADIO U WIL DYE!1!1!1!😱😱😱😧😧😧😧😧”
@@jodiknutson1209 real
The machine mostly did all the news work on tv in that time
bro how tf is this creepy i love this
Thanks tiktok for making this song creepy :(
This pc probably is as powerful as a roomba which makes it more impressive ut can sing
Computer
"B or auto b that is a question whether your word is alive who suffered a sleep of a terrors fortune"
steven hawking shouldve started a singing career
My calming down music
Gorilla tag will start shivering
The Internet made this sound creepy but this is actually really awesome, like, just imagine where we'd be right now in terms of technology if we didn't have some dude who was like "I wanna make this computer sing"
0:15 imagine if your in gorilla tag and a ghost player named daisy09 plays this song
*My according to that song gets more satisfied*
This is a banger
h e s a w t h e c a t
like if you get it
Daisy Bell is not a person, but rather the name of a song. It was one of the first songs to be sung using computer speech synthesis, specifically on an IBM 7094 computer in 1961. The song's lyrics include the famous lines "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do, I'm half-crazy all for the love of you." Is there anything else I can help you with?
HE SAW THE CAT
I never knew v1 was that old
The voice is just a set of phonemes and pitch. It was impressive but not particularly difficult to do even in the early 60s. From a programming perspective the music was actually more difficult to program than the voice.
I wonder what my Rtx 4090 pc can sing 😂
Daisy09 😅
1961: OMG FINALLY YAY!!!!
2023: NO NO NO NO NO NO PLEASE
MABYE AI Exited During the 60s
Just open the pod bay doors HAL
Daisy09 created: 2022 january 12 happymonke: actually daisy09 undercover 2021 September 19
Bonzi Buddy used to sing this too.
Gorilla tag players could destroy their phone
To be, or not to be, That is the question. Whether it is over in the lines to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortunes. Or to take arms of hello ladies and gentlemen.
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do,
I'm half crazy, All for the love of you,
It won't be a stylish marriage, I Can't afford a carriage,
But you'll look sweet, upon the seat of a bicycle built for 2!
Thanks for listening.
to be honest if the song had an animation thats also created from the 60'S
IT WOULD BE VERY CREEPY AND WILL GIVE YOU CHILLS
blud this aint creepy 😔
This isnt creepy this is sweet
I wish they never made this song I don't even know how it works there's no one voicing it
Me believing it was made with the voice of Stephen Hawking's computer 💀
It actually nice song
There's an incorrect information. It said a computer singing a song for the first time in the '50s when this happened in the 60s
It's cool
im have crazeeeee
Written in 1892 by Harry Dacre in 1892, the story goes that when Dacre took a bicycle to the USA he had to pay import duty and on hearing this a friend of his remarked that it was a good thing the bicycle wasn't 'made for two' otherwise he would have to pay double.
Dacre was apparently struck by the phrase 'bicycle made for two' and thanks to this passing comment and the fame of the British socialite and philanthropist 'Daisy' Greville, 'Daisy Bell' was born.
'Daisy Bell' lyrics
Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do.
I’m half crazy all for the love of you.
It won’t be a stylish marriage,
I can’t afford a carriage.
But you’ll look sweet,
Upon the seat,
Of a bicycle made for two.
Michael, Micheal, here is your answer true.
I’m not crazy all for the love of you.
There won’t be any marriage,
If you can’t afford a carriage.
‘Cause I’ll be switched,
If I get hitched,
On a bicycle built for two!”
