AI Exploring into the Null

Music without the musician, whereby AI takes my soul

Can AI make art? Should AI make art? I'm pretty sure the answer to both questions is actually no, but goddamn if that won't stop me from trying. On this site, I document my experiments with using technologies such as Suno and Facebook's MusicGen, as well as whatever whacky AI-powered tools and shortcuts and human augmentations I can get my hands on.

I'm not really claiming authorship here. I don't intend for my visitors to be in awe of my prompting skills, or how deftly I can push a button. But I find these technologies intriguing, and I want to learn and share in public.

Sample

My very first experiment with this workflow and it's just.....insane. I literally uploaded a **nine second clip** of a basic-ish arp pattern with a little drum pattern I programmed in. Click the "Suno" tab to see what I got out...

Disassociate

So soon after I made "Skin", I was just listening to some actual human folk music. And an alternate/similar lyric to something they sang popped into my head. Of course I headed right to Suno. I typed in the lyrics that were on my mind, and then just kind of went with it. Gave it a triple cheeseburger with bacon level list of genres and instruments and this is what we got.

Some days I'm a potato, just waitin for the mash

Skin

I wrote all the lyrics, but mostly I wanted to hear what Suno would come up with for a future electro blues glitchy thing. I am very impressed with this, I think it's extremely unique and interesting. Yes, for anyone who has done text to song, there's kind of a magic about it, that your idea became real. It's especially potent when you wrote the lyrics yourself though.

What's between the inside and the outside? Is there any place that we can hide? What would we have without within? Guarded tightly by our skin

Yes, it has come to this.
