Stuff I've created using AI software but added my own input, be it musically or production-wise.

Music, singers and musicians completely generated by Udio.com!

Apart from the lyrics by my friend and collaborator Carrol (@CarrollKiphen) and the prompts I compiled, there is no involvement of any human beings in this piece...we're all doomed!

I am standing on the corner of here and there.
Not knowing which way, I should go.
I am stranded in the middle of no man’s land.
Not knowing which path, I should choose.

A man came along in due time.
and he said come follow me.
So down the road we went walking.
To see what there was to see.

There was a farmhouse on a hill.
There were fields of golden wheat.
There was a stable made of stone.
The sound of steel being beat.
There was a rider on a horse.
There was a fence of barbed wire.
There was a church in the valley
That had a tall pointed spire.

Be careful what you ask for.
Be careful where you go.
Sometimes it’s best to go down
The old familiar road.

I asked the old man where are we.
He said son this is the past.
I said go back the other way.
And he did just as I asked.

There was a parking lot full of cars.
There were jet planes over head.
The was a cop with a shotgun
and a man that he shot dead.
There was a preacher on TV.
There was a house of stained glass.
There was a stone in the graveyard.
With the date that I had passed.

Be careful what you ask for.
Be careful where you go.
Sometimes it’s best to go down
The old familiar road.

I asked the old man where are we.
He said it’s the road to hell.
I said go back the other way.
To a time when all was well.

Where there’s a farmhouse on a hill.
There are fields of golden wheat.
There is a stable made of stone.
The sound of steel being beat.
There is a rider on a horse.
There is a fence of barbed wire.
There is a church in the valley
That has a tall pointed spire.

Be careful what you ask for.
Be careful where you go.
Sometimes it’s best to go down
The old familiar road.

The Old Familiar Road

Another experiment with AI music generating software udio.com. I think that Fleetwood Mac might neeed to sue them!!

This time I took what the software had created initially and put it in Cubase, allowing me to play around with the basic structure of it to make a more coherent piece, then I added some electric piano.

I can't take any credit for this as the software not only created the music and the lyrics, but it also produced the piece...my only contribution was the piano!

Flipping through pages
Faces frozen in a joyous rage
Laughter locked in a silent cage
Hey hey
Do you recall those bygone days
Picturesque scenes in sepia phase
Holdin' onto memories (sweet memories)
Times fading but they never age
Every line, a story stays

Hey hey
In worn-out albums, our history lays
Love and youth in a timeless blaze
Fingers trace smiles (timeless smiles)
Friends side by side in spirited style
Echoes of laughter spanning miles
Hey hey
Can't forget the adventures we made (we made)
Sun-kissed summers, in the shade

Hey hey
Do you recall those bygone days
Picturesque scenes in sepia phase
Can't forget the adventures we made (we made)
Sun-kissed summers, in the shade

Can't forget the adventures we made (we made)
Sun-kissed summers, in the shade

Sweet Memories

Another experiment with AI, this time using ChatGPT to provide me with some lyrics and Suno with the basic song.
You can hear the original here, suno.com/song/34059c6f-b3d9-4fe5-86f5-db5be3d1752c

I wanted to try some production techniques so I've addded bits and bobs, done a bit of restructuring, added some instruments and played around with some ideas.

In the fields where shadows play,
Silent winds through golden hay,
Dreams of yesteryears' embrace,
Wandering hearts in this quiet place.

Underneath the starlit sky,
With the moon as our guide,
We escape the city's cry,
In nature's arms, we'll confide.

Far from the madding crowd, we roam,
In the whispers of the wild, we find our home.
Where the world's noise fades away,
Together we'll forever stay.

In the quiet, love's pure song,
Echoes where we belong,
No more yearning to be found,
In this peaceful, hallowed ground.

And if the storms should call us near,
We'll face them without fear,
In this place we've carved our way,
Forever in the fields we'll stay.

Far from the madding crowd, we roam,
In the whispers of the wild, we find our home.
Where the world's noise fades away,
Together we'll forever stay.

Far from the madding crowd, we roam,
In the whispers of the wild, we find our home.
Where the world's noise fades away,
Together we'll forever stay.

Where the world's noise fades away,
Together we'll forever stay.

Where the world's noise fades away,
Together we'll forever stay.

Where The World's Noise Fades Away

I've been a semi-pro keyboard player and singer since the mid 70's but only started writing songs whilst at a loose end in February 2011 - don't ask why!

In no way am I a lyricist so I rely on collaborations with others, nameley my fellow Soundcloud members Paul Beaumont (found on here as The Time Zones), Carroll Kiphen (found on here as Carroll Kiphen!) and Lucy Prasad (yea, you guessed it, on here as Lucy Prasad!!), along with Rod Barry.

If you have any comments to make please add them, they're most welcome.

For those of you who maybe interested, I have another Soundcloud page featuring the instrumental music I compose and record, and you'll find that at https://soundcloud.com/ian-jenkins-104831901
