I was browsing through a vintage shop when I came across it, an old Singer sewing machine. Its golden logo was faded, the paint a little chipped, but the craftsmanship was timeless. I’d never used one myself, but just looking at it, you could feel its history, its weight. At first, I saw it as just another relic of a bygone era. But then the name on the machine kept pulling at me: “SINGER.” That name, it was almost calling out. And I thought: what if this machine could actually sing?

The idea wasn’t just to restore the machine, it was to transform it. I wanted to make it something entirely new, something alive. That’s where AI came in. With modern AI music generators, you can create incredible compositions from a single prompt. So I thought, why not connect this beautiful, vintage object to cutting-edge AI? It felt like a perfect combination of past and future.

Instead of fabric, this Singer would now “sew” melodies. And instead of using the foot pedal, I decided to turn the handwheel, the wheel once used to start and guide stitches, into a simple control for the music. Turn it to start the AI-generated tune, turn it again to stop. That’s it. No complicated setup, just the seamless interaction of classic design and modern technology.
