"at around 3:50 it even attempts some singing."

Mmmmm... that sounds like overfitting. That's not "attempting some singing", that's "playing back one of the things it trained on". Which really raises questions about the rest of what you hear, too; it seems like what is being produced is probably in some sense the "average" of the training data, rather than something able to generate new samples from it. But it's a very interesting "average" full of interesting information.

Since I wouldn't expect this to produce much else, I'm not being critical about the effort, just pointing it out so others understand what they are hearing. It was an interesting and worthy experiment that I wondered about myself.
