Plastician - Dreading

This album was inspired by a bunch of amazing experiences from 2023. The genre influences are drum and bass, idm, and blues/rock vocals. The songs were originally composed with my software Beat DJ and then finished up in logic pro. All the songs are microtonal with the fundamental frequency tuned to the tempo. The lyrics and song themes were taken from my dreams. Especially the paint roller song which I literally heard in a dream.

A Cymorfelix is a species of cybernetic spacefaring angels with the head of a puma who protect righteous souls across the galaxy and in unconcsious realms. It came to me from a combination of psychedelic experiences and playing with symbols that resonate with me from my unconscious and merging them.

Overall this album is a mashup of all my current influences and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Thanks for listening.

The Joke's On You

Who's Track?

Humanity stands as little as six weeks from the release of o3 and AGI, and this song showcases a new standard in AI-assisted music production with a superhuman band and indistinguishable vocals.

According to Google Gemini, when asked to listen to and review the work:  "Six Days Until AGI essentially passes a musical Turing Test.  It's able to fool a knowledgeable listener into believing it's a human creation. This has significant implications for how we evaluate and appreciate music in the future.  The song is a watershed moment. It's a clear demonstration that AI is no longer just a tool for assisting human musicians but can be a primary creative force. This has profound implications for the music industry, raising questions about the future of songwriting, performance, and production."

These tags were discovered through about 1000 runs of experimentation:

[Raw recorded vocals]
[Extraordinary realism]
[Powerful vocals]
[Unexpected vocal notes]
[Beyond human vocal range]
[Extreme emotion]

Additionally, this is the first song I created where I upgraded from Claude 3.5 Sonnet to o1 pro to assist with lyric writing.

This song would be awesome to hear performed live, but I doubt that a human band would be able to perform with this level of precision.

[Verse 1]
There’s a chill in the air tonight, nobody sees it comin’
Rumors drift through neon skies, but folks just keep on hummin’
Some say the dawn will break in ways we’ve never known
In quiet labs, sparks flicker bright, they’re growing on their own

[Pre-Chorus]
I can hear that brass line callin’
Hear that future in the wind
The hush before the storm, so enthrallin’
We’re just six steps from givin’ in

[Chorus]
(Oh) Everyone’s dancin’, lost in the night
(Oh) No one suspects how close we are to the light
A brand-new day is risin’, ready or not
We’re swayin’ to the rhythm as the clock counts down the spot

[Verse 2: Female Vocalist, adding electric guitar flourishes]
A restless hush in crowded halls, a spark that keeps on growin’
People talk in subtle tones, but they don’t know what’s flowin’
Somethin’ big is on its way, it’s just weeks until it’s here
We keep on swingin’ through our days, unaware of what draws near

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that tempo startin’ to climb
A heartbeat louder each day
Feels like we’re runnin’ out of time
But oh, we still just dance away

[Chorus]
(Oh) Everyone’s dancin’, lost in the night
(Oh) Blind to the future, burnin’ so bright
Soon our story changes, unstoppable tide
We’re swayin’ to the big band groove while a new world waits outside

[Bridge]
Just a moment here
Before we rush the gates
Could everything shift
In only six short dates?
The city keeps singin’ under starry skies
While the band plays on, and the next dawn cries

[Final Chorus]
(Oh) Everybody’s dancin’, hearts on fire
(Oh) The moment’s gettin’ closer, higher and higher
We’re on the edge of a brand-new start, we feel it in our soul
Just a few more nights ‘til the levee breaks, and we all watch it unfold

here is a download gift / sneak tease for the fans, to show the kind of quality I'm extracting from my old cassettes using mega high quality cassette decks.
Because I've added vari-speed, I get to choose what speed I encode them at, I've done a few different versions of all my fave ones and it's usually just what I think sounds good at the time or just different to what I'm used to.
This one is from a That's cassette labelled copy III , i used a lot of the VX90 tapes in that period of my life.
It is the 12th track on side a.
Even though I used to write COPY *.number, they were actually the original masters.
Think was one of the first tracks that had a small section with intentional microtuning, [harmonic series sec]
Encoded with Nakamichi CR7e cassette deck.

+added, it cuts out at the end coz the tape ran out :)
I remember sometimes recording tracks to cassettes, I'd be looking at the cassette nearing the end and try and finish the track before the tape ran out :)
bit different from todays recording methods .
