OK, so this strays a little from the junto brief, but this is where things led!

My field recording ended up being a noodling around on a SW radio dial, avoiding actual voices as much as possible ... The  resulting recording went through (iZotope RX) speech-to-text, which created the crazy text copied below.  That text then became the basis for the (Google) AI 'vocal', which inspired the final track ... a kind of bendy AI rap ... The SW radio recording is still in there somewhere as well ...

Here's the transcription of what the speech-to-text 'heard' - follow along! The track goes through the complete text twice:

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving space inspired by play in the spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation connects the unexpected, mining the boundary between music and non-music to shape sound worlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity. Listen freely, explore deeply, and for the sounds to live for your eyes as well as your ears, please stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining this journey! Your support helps keep this afloat ... and is HUGELY appreciated 🥰

In 2004 I got my first laptop. A few months later I got my first music production software: Magix Music Maker 2005 deLuxe and it was all over after that and I have been making electronic music ever since. I mean I’ve always played guitar, but electronic music opened my eyes to all the other styles out there. Since then I have tried all sorts of programs: Acid, Fruity Loops, Garage Band, even Magix Music Maker 14 – but I always come back to the one that started it all for me: MMM 2005 deLuxe.

My style is hard to define. I like what I like. If I could call it “sound art” I would. I am influenced by so much and I find inspiration in the oddest places. I am inspired by the sound of people driving by, rhythms of breathing, weather, static on the radio, water, and insects. I spent a few summer nights in rural Oklahoma and Missouri a few years back and there was nothing like it. From the constant, long, almost eternal rolls of thunder to the deafening crickets and cicadas – I must say it was like nothing I have ever heard before.
  As artists, I think we can become creatively selfish. Without new influence and inspiration our art tends to be homogenized. New ideas help us evolve. Having said that I am always down to collaborate – so hit me up!
