ACID BREATHING

Begin now to breathe,
Handmade by yourself,
Reality lives,
Time from your Breath.

Begin now to live,
Thoughtmade by your will,
Dimension denies,
What messages mean.

Yourself is the will,
Direct to a cell,
Universe lives,
God Knows Your Breath,

Begin now to breathe - Begin now to live,
Handmade by yourself - Thoughtmade by your will,
Reality lives time from your breath,
Dimension denies what messages mean.

Acid Breathing (Lyrics on Description)

EDIT 23 April 2025 - I will not use any AI technology that interferes with the realm of creativity in human culture. And I will not support people who use such technology to deceive others by claiming authorship of compositions/songs/images created by generative AI.

WARNING - This is ENTIRELY A.I. generated song!!!

So... this is my first attempt at A.I. generated music. I tried this on www.udio.com. However, it is not completely created by me from scratch, but for this first time I've used it, I took a fragment of someone else's song, which stuck in my heart with its mood (I am an incurable romantic). I really regretted that it didn't have a beginning and an end, so... I generated my own. The track came out really awesome, so I've decided to share it with You. It really resonate with me... And now someone say that this A.I. generated music does not evoke emotions...

Here is the original from I've made my extension. 
https://www.udio.com/songs/qg79XfYiiHp2x8kgSyBkGa
Here is my extension on Udio, where You can see how in text field I've prompted A.I. to do what I wanted: 
https://www.udio.com/songs/smVu17fJngJTLVjdJLuUjf
And link to my alternative version which have I think really awesome ending: https://www.udio.com/songs/k6RtJUvcLzPtsNUcTUnTVi

Here is the list of songs I've found on Udio that are really great. It's worth to check out to have an idea, how good can be A.I. (guided by talented people) in music generation! 
https://www.udio.com/playlists/exHSspXpwQHSdce2rfA1QF

However, I still don't know what to do with this technology. There is no return to the state before it appeared, so we will have to live with it. But will I use it... I don't think so, at least not yet. For now I can't say its human influenced creation. Until they turn it into something like Crea or Leonardo, where a human influences every aspect of the work being created, or even gives A.I. directives on what it should look like, feeding it with your ideas, this is not the technology for me... Or maybe I don't know how to use it...

But time passes and sooner or later such technology will appear. Then we will be able to put aside our plugins and DAWs and create/generate whatever we dream of at the speed of thought  :)

Dream # 3 (Minimalism Study)

Layer - 12:11:24, 8.55 AM

Lay me down
upon the white table.
Administer your anesthesia.
Cut me open.
Dissect me.
Remove what no longer serves.

My inabilities mount.
My insecurities cloud.
Disassemble me.
Take me to the edge of the lake
and I will sink, numbly to the bottom
happy.

Kiss the mermaid.
The blood dilutes.
Eat my heart 
until I have no meaning.

They call my name.
The sound is distant.
I am not me.
I have ascended
to you.

Words by Riley Robinson

Disassembled

Autumn Leaves

Enlace
---------------------
Created, then left here
just drifting through space
Our home, a blue dot in the void

We have nowere else to go,
no other place to call our home
This is our world,
precious world

...

We're trapped here, entangled
in the fabric of time
Our past, and our future entwine

We have no time left to spare
no other time to call our own
This is our time,
precious time


Enlace

This song has a metaphor I've used once before. in the track Autumn in the Wind. In that song we are "Standing waves to winds of harm... In this song we are too "... standing waves"
I love the idea of us being standing waves to poisonous mind sets. So, a standing wave is a sound wave that cancels another wave out because of the relevant symmetry between themselves and the surroundings and we get silence instead of the two sounds. So when using it now I'm empowering us as the standing waves to hate, as hate is all created on our heads just like love is...


Lyrics

I was wrong
Flew off that handle
That was made ok
It found responsible person
Remnant of reason
Bloomed harmony season
Intelligence for my emotional treason

So cheers man
Cheers for time
Cheers for love
May melody rhyme
Life's too short to not care
My disillusionment made fair

I was wrong
Now that's not matter
Our standing waves
Wrapped that in batter
We seasoned sane
With simple tame
Harmony in collaboration again

I just listened to a very interesting piece on the radio about emotional intelligence. Since becoming a parent I've obviously thought a lot about this and generally consider myself to be that. Parenting is the single biggest thing that has challenged my EI in my adult life although seeing how my kids act a mirror of me is very enlightening indeed...

However I wasn't emotionally intelligent the day I deleted this upload...

So this is a collab with superb artist Remnant60 https://soundcloud.com/remnant60

Not so long ago when I was flying off the handle trying to make sense of politics in art and very disillusioned by whats going on... Remnant60 called me out on that and how I maybe project against just one side sometimes... I flew off the handle before we even had a chance to talk... Slapped him with some words, Unfollowed him and deleted our collab... What a muppet I was...

I've been waiting for the opportunity to make it right and make it better...

The song musically hasn't changed from how it was when I last had it up but I added a poem to mark that negative turned positive...

My outlook on life has changed a little and I have Remnant60 and a few other straight talking and silent SoundClouders to thank for that...

You know our problems only get fixed when we are emotionally intelligent towards one another ... even if our truths clash... As artist Sound23 advertises so wonderfully with his birds (https://soundcloud.com/sound23-941370948/dream-of-better-times-in-2023?si=d02356731cea4d7bbd391293880bdeeb&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)... We need to fly both directions at the same time from a middle ground and accept each other for how we are and what we are. Once thats not hurting anyone else then acceptance is the key I suppose...
Listen to Acceptance by Neowakan (Aileen Asatouri) on #SoundCloud
https://on.soundcloud.com/VYVk31WNDkPDQwCK8 Aileen paints that nicely with her amazing instrumental track there.

The expert on the radio said we learn our emotional intelligence from viewing other people and in turn honing our empathy. Well Remnant gave me an ickle upgrade that day...

It's worrying how the young generation replaces watching people with screens though... They're all going to be weirdos unless that changes..

I suppose, it's ok to be wrong if you're prepared to be right again about it when the light actually shines on any subject. Don't be afraid to admit your wrong. Be proud of whatever you've discovered even if you need to hold your hands up and say. My bad 🙌🏽

If you use AI in any form to create "your music", don't bother with my profile, you are not welcome here.
AI music generation detector: https://www.submithub.com/ai-song-checker
I do not support the use of generative AI in music creation. I will not support people who use such technologies nor will I use them. The two songs I posted only serve to raise awareness of the existence of such technologies and as a warning.

At the beginning I would like to sincerely apologize that I am responding to comments late and I am sometimes unable to keep up with listening to your work, but I still work full-time in a profession that has absolutely nothing to do with music and I have my duties towards family and home.

To everyone who flew into my corner on SoundCloud: I am grateful for your support with likes, shares and thank you for the great comments. Please don't hesitate to suggest changes to my music in them. Thanks to this, the next songs will be better and better.

All my music is MIDI (except some drum loops), played/created by me and edited in Ableton Live.
