Category 5 (8/29)

It's an interesting exercise to reverse-engineer AI-generated music to see what makes it tick, as well enhancing it by playing your own parts against it--a bass part and some synth parts, as well as an orchestral arrangement.  

The vocals here are very loose and rubato, with a very human feel--more sprechgesang. But if a human was actually singing this in a band , the phrasing would be much different.  It's interesting how it displaces the melody at random and puts in 2/4 bars. 

The "lyrics" I used were just chosen at random from 8/29 entries from my diary, one about the 2004 Republican convention on 8/29/2004 and Hurricane Katrina on 8/29/2005. It's a song about nothing and something at the same time, with just three lines:

Looks like 1968 again

[8/29/2025: It's astonishing how far AI-music has come in just one year. These are very grainy. Let's see where we are in a year].
