(Beatles Recording Sessions)

"A massive out-pouring of Beatles recordings: 30 in one double set. This was what the Beatles wanted, and they were in charge. But George Martin probably wished that he still held the upper hand. "With the 'White Album' they'd come back from India with 32 songs and they wanted to record every one of them. I listened to them all and there were some which I didn't think were that great. But a split had already taken place and they were wanting to do their own things, so the whole of the album, because there was so much to do, became fragmented, with two, sometimes three studios in use at any one time. I almost became Executive Producer, running from one studio to another and handling one particular thing while the Beatles and Chris Thomas got on with other things."

Book: From Bauhaus to our House, picture windows were just empty gestures, "a North Dallas special, "lawyer foyers"...

[Back in the Brill Building days, songwriters would use a title as the chorus hook, which is what this riff is. You can use randomness as a strategy, such as opening a random book off a shelf, or just getting ideas from the spines of books. This is also a perfect example of what AI can never do. I doubt it would find the same music in those words].

I like AI methods as a randomness generator from which I can take “snapshots” and work with those. I would get bored with the automatized generation of art all the time. 
            
[11/22/2024: This works with music as well. As much as I’m bemused about how AI can interpret words in a musical framework, I haven’t lost my desire or passion for writing songs with an instrument–just as I still now prefer looking at art in museums and galleries].

If anyone can be an artist or photographer, why aren’t you one then?

Interesting: If you wrote lyrics, then had AI write just a drum part based on them, how easy or hard would it be to sing those lyrics against it? (This is a variation on my process of writing lyrics, but never using them and composing only an instrumental. The words become the blueprint for the music).

Riverwalk to DuSable Harbor--interesting to se harbor with no boats against a Novemberish sky with brisk cold wind.
