Between snatches of time, while we’re working on a full-fledged song with a video (…we should make it by next Friday!), we pulled out a Chiptune instrumental version of our song “In the Future” (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/in-the-future). 
Mary and Tom weren’t needed this time, so of course they ended up taking care of production and mixing. The song was recently also released on the mainstream (https://ffm.to/in-the-future). 
Who knows, in the end you might find yourself humming it!😜

In the Chiptune Future

We wrote this track trying to imagine what it feels like for people who once made music in a real, organic way, then discovered how easy it is to use AI to pump out songs and make fast profit.
Some of them even deny using AI vocals… even though the same two-to-four AI voice timbres show up across basically all AI-generated songs, not just in one profile. Anyone who listens a lot can recognize them instantly.
And the ironic part? Many musicians go under those tracks and write huge compliments about the “amazing vocals,” taking them at face value.
We’re not anti-AI. AI exists and it's here to stay.
We’re against the indiscriminate and unregulated use of AI that disrespects the work of people who actually make music.
This song isn’t a rant.
It’s satire. A snapshot. A reminder that creativity still matters… no matter what trend is taking over.
Peace, joy… and above all, ethical AI for everyone.😉

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on November 21, 2025.

Lyrics:

Oh-oh, oh-oh...
She’s singin’ better than we are,
AI killed the human star.

We stayed up late, the room was loud,
cheap beer, bad takes, a faithful crowd.
Now every song’s a perfect clone,
she types the notes, I check my phone.

We used to bleed to make it shine,
now she does it in half the time.

AI killed the human star,
no pulse, no soul, just perfect art.
Plug her in, she steals my part,
and somehow makes it sound like heart.

I miss the cracks, the out-of-key,
the shaky hands, the “damn, that’s me.”
Now every chord is tight and clean,
like something built inside a dream.

She learns the pain, but not the sweat,
I play along, she wins the bet.

AI killed the human star,
she took my voice, she took my scars.
Now all my ghosts are on her drive,
she sings them back, too much alive.

We built her drunk on coffee grounds,
she took the throne, we lost the sound.
Now I’m just lines inside a file,
she smiles, and makes it worth a while.

AI killed the human star,
but damn, she makes it sound bizarre.
Maybe we’re the ones to blame,
for givin’ her our fire and name.

Oh-oh, oh-oh...
AI killed the human star.

She killed it good!
Yeah! Not for us!

AI Killed the Human Star

Just a test to prove to ourselves that you can get the same plays here with a ridiculous instrumental track composed and recorded in 20 minutes as with a solid sung track recorded in 2 months!
Because when SoundClown’s shitty algorithm ignores you, anything you upload gets at most 200 plays, which earns you like 2 bucks in 10 years, while the Clowns get rich off millions of Artist Pro subscriptions from us poor fools! At this point we’re almost at the same level of crap as Sporkify!
Love you all… but SoundClown!🫡

(c) blablablabla whatever… just crawl our bio already, you stupid algorithm!🖕🏻

SoundClown Part 1

If you don’t believe our words… look at the cover art… there’s a screenshot worth more than a million words! Frack the clowns!🖕🏻

(c) copyleft, copycenter, copyup and copy down .. whatever.. who cares?

SoundClown Part 2

Nothing to say.. it's just another silly tune.

Jeers of a Clown (Instrumental - Chiptune)

🎸We are a five-piece studio band mixing different genres and influences into our own sound.
Members:
Tom (vocals, occasional keys/guitar)
Mary (guitar, backing vocals)
Mauro (keyboards, piano, synths, winds)
Davide (bass, synth bass)
Valerio (drums, percussion)

The band has existed since 2015, but we only started publishing on SoundCloud and other platforms in 2024. Many of the songs we’ve released so far are reboots of tracks we wrote years ago, in case you were wondering how we managed to release over 100 tracks in one year. Before 2024 we only published on our own blog (which is now gone, replaced by a new one we barely use), so our audience was limited to a few hundred friends and acquaintances.
We’re not professional musicians! We have other jobs, and we don’t even consider ourselves musicians, at most entertainers and awareness-raisers.

⚡️We do not authorize the use of our music, voices or recordings for AI training or generative purposes without our written consent.
