A composition by stunt parachutist, invisible kung fu master, expert paper airplane engineer, and former assistant undersecretary of the traveling master of document retention policy controls and user manual expurgation Monkey Blood Lowdown. https://soundcloud.com/monkeybloodlowdown

He plays the bass- which sounds like no other bass has ever sounded in this or any other galaxy- as well as the drums, of course. (Mo Sheen was pouting about it until I hit him with a burst of condensed air.) Admiral Krank on the guitar and slide guitar. A thousand thank yous due to Monkey Blood Lowdown for allowing me to add my doodlings.... I mean, my paper airplanes are an embarrassement to flying machines everywhere.

I Heard The Angels Singing (Monkey Blood Lowdown and Admiral Krank)

Here’s a strange one. It was made as an assignment for a continuing education class such as I must periodically take to maintain my professional license, a license which has little to nothing to do with music. The radical A/B/A form of the piece as well as its brevity resulted from the nature of the assignment. What the hell any of this has got to do with the Tin Man also relates to the specifics of the class, and I won’t bore you with those. But making the music certainly made the class more fun than it might otherwise have been!

GEMINI CLAW is an experiment in AI storytelling created by Robert Jefferson

The story is curated by RJ from fragments generated by basic free to use neural networks 
The text is read by synthetic actors who are AI voice generators.

The music affects the meaning, through mood and atmosphere.

The project works as a kind of imagination Pareidolia, or apophenia.

Through curation, a consistent tone and some recurring themes combined with the emotional and atmospheric direction of the chosen music aims to bring coherence to potentially scattershot randomness...
What kind of a machine did this power come from?

Broken down into short 'episodes' and collected into chapters... time and space is not linear here, so the passages can be listened to in any order.

all music by Robert Jefferson unless otherwise credited in the Special Editions which appear as a kind of 'finale' to the first book of Gemini Claw.

Special thanks to all of my generous and talented contributors from around the world!
