Rough draft shit .m4a

just in order to add some relaxing dreaminess to the depressing depth of my reflections on despair (the album) I recently remembered a song written/recorded about 5 years ago with the help of a vintage korg cx-3: a super simple, classic organ phrase, for which I found vocal snippets in the logic pro library – actually, massively slurred singing and quite exaggerated effects. 

I barely understood what was being sung but there was something special about this vocal can, an indescribable kind of unfulfilled/unfulfillable longing that perfectly matched the mood of the organ.

can an AI-voice capture such a mood? I wrote new lyrics and, based on the recording from back then, set out to demand a particularly generous dose of human touch from my suno persona. 

the prob: learning doesn’t necessarily mean doing for the machine. it doesn't work iteratively, but rather in a damn random way – which means worst hell if you have specific ideas about the end result. so, it took more than one extra mile to make progress.

in the end, I'm quite satisfied with the final sketch (AI will always remain a dummy for me). and I'm clearly satisfied with another empirical insight, that new technologies don’t change the fundamental principles of human creativity. they merely shift the effort. it remains wonderfully hard.

WISHING YOU ALL A PEACEFUL, HEALTHY, AND HAPPY START TO THE SEASON OF LIGHTS, WHEREVER THEY MAY LEAD US

Searching for a simple truth
Just a chance to slip a move
She can’t find where she belongs
In clouds
In clouds

When the starlight feels too high
And the night turns bleak and wide
All her thoughts slip out of sight

Reaching for an answer sign
Searching through the quiet lines
Trying hard to read the air
Hoping something’s waiting there

They say the sun will come out
That it will clean all clouds
Something shook her mind and left her drifting
Reaching for an answer sign

They say daylight clears the gloom
Yet she still feels caught by the doom
All the answers fall right through her fingers
Reaching for an answer sign

Searching

Romantic Holidays

contentment, gratitude, and humility are not necessarily among the central sentiments of our time, nor are they at the forefront of modern human nature, which constantly strives for improvement of whatever.

as soon as we have achieved something specific, we are already looking for something next, like inhaling and exhaling, only to inhale again, and so on. that’s the way we pass the time, and time passes.

interestingly, when I was a little boy (at a time when life is still so full of questions and mysteries that you dare to ask the naivest questions), I loved to hold my breath and imagine what it would be like if life were one long, uninterrupted breath?

sometimes I still ask myself that question today, like recently during a walk on a wet and cold december evening. 

I watched the colours and lights of the city, doubled in the reflections of puddles and rainy streets, and observed the bustling activity of passers-by scurrying restlessly back and forth: infinite heaps of important, urgent, pressing, pleasant, or less pleasant things in all our minds that need to be done, like the next breath or the next heartbeat.

I held my umbrella to one side, looked up at the deep black sky with its dark clouds illuminated schematically by the city lights, felt the cold raindrops like fine ice needles on my cheeks, and held my breath. just for a short carpe momentum. then I walked on, because I still had something to do...

I wish you all a relaxing pre-christmas weekend with special or not-so-special moments to simply stop time. even if it's just for a breath.

I wander the streets where the dusk softly bleeds
Cold rain on the stones tracing half-forgotten needs
Faces stream past with a gravity grim
As though the whole day slipped away on a whim

Old hearts and young ones, the timid, the bold
All of them carrying storms in the cold

If fire from the heavens fell sharp through the air
We’d freeze with a look caught between wonder and despair
But I tip my head upward, let the cold diamonds spin
One breath, and I feel what strange fools we have been

We hurry through moments too fragile to name
Blind to their shimmer, then searching for blame

If fire from the heavens fell sharp through the air
We’d freeze with a look caught between wonder and despair
Yet here in the rainfall, the world feels akin
One breath, and I’m certain what fools we have been

We idiots

HAUSER performing Wicked Game by Chris Isaak September 2019

Hauser | Wicked Game

I am interested in all kinds of music: from Delta Blues to free jazz, Nu Jazz, world music, folk music from all over the world, experimental music, classical music, cheesy pop music, cerebral minimalist music....
	In short: music has always played an important role in my life...  not only listening to it  but also creating it.   ;-)
	From the trumpet to the guitar, the ukulele, keyboards, my mouth and anything else that can produce a sound, I enjoy myself without too many constraints other than ‘having fun’.
	Fun that I share with you... 
	Enjoy listening to my productions as much as I enjoyed producing them.


	Toutes les musiques m’intéressent : du Delta Blues au freejazz en passant par le NuJazz, de la World au Folk de tous pays, de l'expérimental au classique, de la variété cucul à la musique minimaliste cérébrale...
	Bref : La musique a toujours occupé une partie importante dans ma vie...  non seulement l'écouter  mais aussi la pondre.   ;-)
De la trompette en passant par la guitare, le ukulele, les claviers, la bouche et tout ce qui peut produire un son, je m'amuse sans trop de contraintes si ce n'est « me faire plaisir. ».
	Plaisir que je vous partage...
	 Amusez vous à l'écoute de mes productions comme j'ai pris du plaisir à les produire.

   These voices are no longer mine, but those of an algorithm. Like a subtle alchemist, AI has changed the colour of my voice, but not its flavour, and it has enhanced its emotion.

    Ces voix ne sont plus la mienne, Mais celles d’un algorithme. En alchimiste subtil, l’IA  a changé la couleur de ma voix, mais pas le goût  et elle  en a renforcé l’émotion.
