I’ve been experimenting with making a comeback to recording. Many moons ago I used to collaborate with musicians and release CD singles (remember them?). This would earn me a drip of royalties but the joy was releasing a couple of tracks every few years. This pastime stopped when I went into teaching. I was far too busy to be laying down tracks and organising collaborations. This week, I got myself a decent microphone, signed up to an AI music making platform and went through my old box of songs written around the time I was just twenty-one. The bones of the song is still there but I had to do a bit of rewriting to bring it up to par with my aging self. The chorus uses phrases that I loathed at the time, get over it and move on, these phrases are still in use today. I was so pleased with my effort, I am going to put down another track tomorrow.
I have published my first song using this new technology, it’s my voice and lyrics but the arrangement is AI.
Diolch, it is a fresh pastime for me to get obsessed about and discover new and challenging things. I was saying to my therapist today that by doing this it is beginning to loosen up the planning paralysis I have had with my writing for the last, almost, six years. I feel it will benefit me to flex my creative muscles again, and it is such a loopy new way of creating things, I find it very intriguing,
Diolch yn fawr. Aye, NeuroSparky is the moniker I have chosen. The first three pieces were written when I was but a wee twenty-one year old but considering I’ve been wholly absorbed by this thing now, I want to do a whole album. It’s very interesting to see how others are using the technology and what it is capable of. I am learning creativity afresh in this burgeoning field and finding myself immersed in later evenings than usual.
Diolch yn fawr iawn @ManjiB. I am glad I kept them too. I think I needed a canvass to work off rather than go in cold. I think Bowie would certainly be an influence, I did see him live in concert and he asked the crowd for any requests, I shouted out Laughing Gnome and he sighed into the mic - no, not that one.
Just on the note vocal wise and Bowie, I can sing in a low timbre but crack like an actor if I have to go high which Bowie could do effortlessly.
