I love this... I really enjoyed this and thanks for the links, they will be added to my arsenal! :)

great idea .. and thanks i didnt know about that random lyrics site

The AI Recreation Cover Band ... interesting concept!

If you're really after "Pop Songs" it might be fruitful for you to explore vocoding your vocal samples to give them a melodic line. Great stuff here.

The Pepper Jelly and HNY samples make the majority of rhythm in this piece. The “Autista 3” sample is a little buried in the middle, where there is less percussion. 

The "lyrics" were randomly generated by WriterBot at http://writerbot.com/lyrics and synthesized at http://www.fromtexttospeech.com/  I had hopes of matching the monotone vocals to a melody of keyboard notes but that is beyond Garageband for now.

The final vocals are a synthesized Thomas Piketty quote from https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/commentisfree/2016/feb/16/thomas-piketty-bernie-sanders-us-election-2016 -- I wanted something a little more "statement" oriented but running out of time. 

The guitars throughout are from guitar stems I recorded months ago in order to use for textures, and not recorded while working on this project. The protesters at the end are from a free field recordings site, SoundTransit: http://archive.turbulence.org/soundtransit/search/sounds.php

I come back over and over again to an idea of using sound samples, generated text, and synthesized voices to make deconstructed pop songs. I want to make them more "catchy" than the results, which to me sound like someone trying to manually recreate AI song generation, lol
