Nice track !! Also loved the way you mix this ..  keep it up man

Yeaaa this song right here? I’m liking it

So good to hear a track full of life and a human feel

I'm not quite sure how I'm loving this so much, but I am.

Love the acoustic vibe, mixed nicely too!

My first experiment in a somewhat sonata-like movement that loosely follows the exposition-development-recapitulation cycle, where the second, G major (tethering even on D major) returns in the recapitulation in the home key of C minor. It took me longer to finish than anticipated but in the end, I'm extremely pleased with the result. 

The main theme is one of those themes that simply appears almost on its own when your hands land on the piano. It was a delightful, but chalenging experience trying to develop it and derive new themes from it, in the end I've scraped as many themes as I've included. 

I dedicate this work to my dear friend Ivan Dadić and his wife, Katarina Dadić, who liked the melody so much that she used it as a ringtone for her alarm clock.

Allegro for Piano, C Minor

"Latter Days," narrates Andrew’s journey leaving the Mormon Church to embark on a path of self-discovery amidst a global pandemic. CARM’s (Bon Iver, Paul Simon), glorious horns and Merry Andrew’s violins intertwine, transmuting sorrow into triumph, despair into hope. Mixed by Peter Katis (The National, Death Cab) and mastered by Greg Calbi (John Lennon, Bob Dylan), “Latter Days” effortlessly weaves influences like The Beatles, The National, and Bon Iver, into a timeless musical tapestry.

Latter Days (feat. CARM)

Leave it with me, and we'll see.
What we find without.
What the talks about.
What they've left around.
What goes round and round.

Leave it with me, and we'll see.
What we're dealing out.
What we worked around.
What it's all about.
Why we're talking loud.

The spark that glows can be restored.
The spark is fed, the fire roars.

Just let it be, and we'll see.
What the chats about.
What they're hawking out.
Where the feelings gone.
Where we're going wrong.

Just let it be, and we'll see.
What they're paying on.
What's the chance they're gone.
What's the right and wrong.
Whether it's begun.

The spark lights up the window pane.
Only the blackened charred remains.
The spark that glows can be restored.
The spark is fed, the fire roars.

What the life's about.
spinning lies around.
What this loves about.
What lies round about. 

What is going on.
Where it all went wrong.
Why the fuss began.
When the rabbit rabbit ran.

The spark lights up the feilds again.
Showing only charred remains.
The spark that glows can be restored.
The spark is fed, the fire roars.

Leave it with me, and we'll see.
When it's coming back.
A surprise attack.
What or not, the craic.
That we sorely lack.

Leave it to me, and we'll see.
What the chats about.
What they're hawking out.
Where the feelings gone.
Where we're going wrong.

Lyrics:

Breathe and reshape, be not afraid
Underneath the pines, breathe and reshape
Oceans wide, a sign!

Like the seasons blazing we paint the sky
Our spirits unify

Underneath the pines, breathe and reshape
Oceans wide, a sign!

Like the seasons blazing we paint the sky
Our spirits unify, a symphony of greens
Chase your wildest dreams
We paint the sky
We unify

Unify

Like the seasons blazing we paint the sky
Our spirits unify a symphony of greens
Chase your wildest dreams
We paint the sky
We unify

Unify

We Unify!

UNDERGROUND
A Tribute to Metallica's Kill'Em All Phase
Music by Overdrive

This is an original track inspired by Metallica's Kill'Em All phase, which features James Hetfield's AI-generated vocals. It's a non-commercial/experimental track made as a tribute to the band and created under the fair use permission of copyright statute.

The use of AI-generated vocals is still a source of much controversy and heated discussion. I've been following the issue closely since the beginning of 2023, when French DJ David Guetta replicated the voice of American rapper Eminem during a concert, causing a wave of immense buzz about it.

Also in early 2023, the track "Heart on My Sleeve", which used AI-generated vocals from Canadian rappers Drake and The Weeknd, went viral before being taken down by streaming services. 

In September, John Lennon's voice was removed from a demo tape recorded in 1978. The poor quality audio was processed with AI for a new Beatles recording, giving rise to the song "Now & Then".

During this period, there was an eruption of websites focused on voice cloning, which, in October 2023, led RIAA to request the inclusion of such websites on the government's piracy watchlist -- and the main target became Vocify.ai. 

On the other hand, Aditya Bansal, a 20-year-old UK student who founded Vocify.ai, claims that several record companies have already contacted him wanting to make models of their own artists for demo tracks, "as drafts before the full recording process".

As MusicBusiness rightly pointed out, "major record companies hate AI voice-cloning platforms that don't pay".

I myself have had some very interesting personal experiences on the subject. A demo track of "Underground" was posted on a Discord server dedicated to vocaloids and synthesized vocals. The track was deleted less than 24 hours later by the moderator, who made a point of publicly censoring me on the open channel, stating that he didn't accept what he called "unethical" methods. I tried to explain that it was an experimental track, with no commercial purpose; that it was made as a tribute; that I had also sent the link directly to the band on their official Metallica Instagram, and so on. But the mere act of replying got me summarily kicked off the server.

I honestly believe that merely using tools like Voicify.ai and Kits.ai is not an unethical activity when the aim is to test the potential of a new technology. And the track "Underground" worked exactly as an experiment. It taught me that AI-cloned vocals need a lot of filters on the daw to mask defects derived from the cloning process. It served to show that the quantity of examples provided during the training of the AI is essential for improving the quality of the model. It served to show that training the model is better with vocals recorded in mono than with vocals in stereo; better with vocals recorded dry than recorded with reverb; and so on.

Moreover, I'm particularly happy with the AI-generated commercial voices I already use with Synthesizer V software, so I have no intention of replacing them with cloned voices of famous singers.

Hopefully, this small initiative will at least serve to dispel a little of the immense prejudice that has arisen around a technology that will soon become commonplace in the music industry. Nowadays, no one remembers all the controversy caused by the emergence of radio, when record company managers boasted that no one would buy albums anymore. It's the same story every time a new technology emerges.

Hope you enjoy the track.

TECH TRIVIA
* The guitar solos were assembled from multiple pieces of isolated audios of Kirk Hammett's solos available on YT.

* The rhythm guitars and the bass are Kontakt libraries. 

* The original vocals were created in Synthesizer V with NineZero voicebank. The NineZero's isolated audio was then converted into James Hetfield's vocals.

That Southern Girl - Kristopher Bolin

Written, Performed and Composed by Jah-Femi Telewa

What do I know about love
I’m a middle aged man who has only fallen in love once, ok I lie maybe twice
The first girl was as cold as ice, she thought her kisses should suffice
The second was more involving, but her temperament was like a door constantly revolving 
Non stop arguments, moody spells, I should have known from her initial displays she would drag me through hell,
But I was enticed by her beautiful curves, the thought of which I still preserve,
I was pleased for a while, she had class sophistication and style, but I couldn’t trust her so I constantly put her on trial, constantly bugging her about who what where and why… until for absolutely no reason she would cry, my suspicions ran deep, so I stalked on her like a creep, but no revelations were made, in time I got comfortable and my jealousy or shall I say paranoia would fade, that’s where we went for a Radom sex test, I passed she failed so I was vexed, was it me who drove her to this, or was she just the wrong one to have kissed…
In all I know this, about love’s crazy state 
You’ll fail if you ignore love’s fate
It’s an opened gate, which you have a key to but so does everybody else
You don’t own it, and at any moment it could split, literally leave you looking for greener fields… 
You feel like a warrior armoured with the love you wield,
As you laugh at previous encounters, the love you killed,
But one day it’ll come round to your turn
You’ll be in pain but you’ll just have to let it burn
It’s part of life I guess
That when you pinch at hearts
Yours gets pricked in return
