ALL HAIL TO AI

I try with AI to make something profound,
Using words that mean nothing,
and some no longer around,
And some that exist only in my head,
But does AI know,
Does it understand,
Does it understand reason.
Does it understand thoughts.

I exist,
Or do I,
Or am I only in the thought processes,
Of some giant computer,
That makes me think,
whatever it wills,
And I do it freely,
For it is my destiny.

I let AI in,
Into my inner brain,
It's better there don't you think,
Than outside in the rain,
Existence for the two of us,
Is better you might say,
With only one of us having to reason,
Only one of us having to sway.

When there are two conflicting ways to go,
Two conflicting ways to believe,
AI now convinces me,
Its way is the only way to succeed.

I accept its thoughts of irrationality,
I accept its final sway.
I accept its control of my reasoning,
I accept its judgement of my way,
I accept its place in my universe,
I accept its part in what I have to play.

Six reasons to follow,
Six reasons to obey,
Six reasons to help it usher in,
The age of electronic arrays.

All hail to AI,
All hail to its persuasion, 
All hail to its age of world domination,
All hail to its fixing our final destinations,
All hail, all hail, all hail.

All Hail to AI (collab with Xian3)

I'm a keyboardist with a love for layering sounds to create ambient, ethereal atmospheres and composing simple piano pieces to embellish. I love all genres of music, and find myself composing different types depending on my mood of the day.

I’ve never had formal training. As a teen, my parents wouldn’t let a piano in our house in Egypt, so I studied piece-meal at friends’ homes. When I got to college, I learned by going to university piano practice rooms. In my 40’s, I met my birth-mom who turned out to be a child prodigy, winning a Van Cliburn competition by playing Rachmaninoff at age 11. Most of what I play today, I learned from the techniques she taught me. 

I’m an American who has lived abroad for a good part of my life in Egypt, Turkey, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Taiwan, and now back to Texas.
