Coming to terms with the whole ai change has been gut wrenching and there’s a lot to soak up and to talk about. Reddit has been a good source for getting grounded and like the way i’m working with ai these days feels less like cheating, more me in it, because, well these are my ideas and because I know it needs a lot of babysitting. I'm starting to get perspective like it's better to embrace the inevitability of it all while maintaining a sense of self worth in the process. Looking at my Ableton project for this song you would see a huge amount of additional work I needed to put in. I mean it’s not so straight forward as simply writing a prompt I guess and then there’s the mixing and mastering and all those decisions and choices so yeah music ai is a tool genius but it can’t make what you're hearing without some serious intervention by a skilled producer, nor would this beautiful song have magically come into existence - all alone.

Description: Contradictions is a philosophical epiphany and reflects the protagonist's calmness while showing other people battling in life, making life complicated and difficult for themselves, behaving as slaves to the economy, parenting, bureaucracy, ego and existential crises, etc, while the protagonist meanders effortlessly past these numerous interactions not detached or alone-looking, but empathetic, with a kind smile as he continues on a path to his light.

Lyrics (Steve Freedom):

Built walls of contradiction
in realms of my own fiction
People run to fill the void
Gather things they destroy
Climb ladders to the sky
Missing moments
Passing nights
I own the light

Sound: Embodying the sounds of #deephouse, #downtempo, noir bass, interstellar soundscapes, lush dreamy synths, #progressivehouse, atmospheric soft pads, #minimaltechno, is soulful, peaceful, and is mostly instrumental with sparse vocals.

9 iterations later, with an intense Ableton project containing 18 stems with my inflections, and finally a mastering session - we have the song "Contradictions".

Shout-out to Producer ai (Riffusion ai) for the incredible "instrument" they are creating and to Open ai / Sora ai for their movie-making tech geniuses.
