Algorithmic (Jam #1) & Rant 😆

***AI is FIRM NO!!!!!!!!!***

©Crackerjack is a dynamic lead, rhythm, and bass guitarist whose sound is deeply rooted in blues-infused hard rock. 

With a musical style that channels the raw energy of Chris Cornell, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Slash and AC/DC, along with influences from Guns N' Roses, Gary Moore, Hendrix, and SRV, his music is a powerful blend of intensity and finesse.

While firmly planted in hard rock, ©Crackerjack occasionally explores folk and acoustic sounds, adding depth and variety to his work.  ©CrackerJack handles all mastering, production and performing as well as playing all the instruments, other than drums, which he is soon to learn . Whilst his vocals are not the strongest, he sings with integrity, honesty and passion.

His discography includes several singles and a standout 5-track EP titled 'Life Stories,' which features everything from the driving rhythm of 'Husk' to the heartfelt ballad 'A Love Untold.'

Collaborations with his good friend Somewhere77' and Wendir.

I’m a bassist, but I also play guitar and keys.

Influenced by funky, rock-infused electronic dance music—from punk rock and reggae/dub to the big beat sounds of the ’90s.
A unique soundscape shaped by the clash of digital waves and raw energy.

If you’re a lyricist and singer who likes my music, I’d be happy to create a track for you.
Since I produce music in between my day job, it might take some time (about 1–2 weeks), but feel free to send me a DM.
Depending on the lyrics, I may not be able to meet your expectations, but I’ll do my best.

パンクロック、レゲエやダブから90年代のビッグビートなど、ファンキーでロックでエレクトロなダンスミュージックに影響を受ける。
デジタルの波と生のエネルギーが独自のサウンドスケープを描く。

私の音楽を気に入っていただけた作詞家兼歌手の方、喜んであなたのためにトラックを作成します。
仕事の合間に音楽を制作しているので、少し時間がかかるかもしれません（約1〜2週間）が、お気軽にDMを送ってください。

Howdy Friends,

This is somewhere to put tunes when other tracks are getting digested 🤘🏽A digestion period is something I never give people so I think it's time to try it. I feel when collaborating with large groups of musicians my routine of daily uploads takes the shine off those shares so this profile was born from wanting to deliver that period but still fullful my desire to share everything as it comes to light. In the short term his will likely lessen my play count which I don't mind because this is about making TBD bigger and more financially successful in the future so experimenting with presentation should be worth it.  I think this should show an evolution to TBD's organic following better and I won't be bombarding everyone with a confusing amount of material like currently happens on the main account.
This also expands my desire to share more detail on the process and teach it more. Because I know I'm not pushing everything to everyone it will feel a bit better sharing thoughts and long jams here and will still be a door open for whoever might want to connect to that. I'll follow back genuine people here but I think I will avoid seeking people out from this page as again that should give a better outline of the reality of my music and how organic it is actually becoming for people and remove a bit of the SoundCloud routine from the mix. All going well I can upgrade this profile to artist pro and maybe endeavour to cover a sub with it and move passed the 120min limit of a free profile. Rock and Real to everyone.

Love ya all,

Carl

/ sorry, folks – looks like i’m losing the human touch again! why didn’t you tell me? why does the algo police catch it but no one else? guess it’s pure lack of awareness... listen up – you gotta watch me closer, just like they do. fair’s fair. we gotta keep each other in check, right? /

and you, soundcloud police — that warning comment I pinned on my profile backdrop for all to see? pure lie. straight up opposite of the truth. that “unfriendly, unjust, unhuman, unseen hand” — that’s the stupid algo acting behind the scenes. i was saying goodbye to a lot of my followings. but you say i’m “following” a lot? ah yeah? you’re the liar, dumb algo.

My first band in 20 years haha. Schweeeet! TBD is a band already in my head but this is an actual band🤘🏽


Dear Universe. Please being peace to planet Earth 🙏🏽 Thanks Universe ✅


Thanks a centillion for ALL the support. I love you all for helping me in so many ways with what I've loved doing for 38 years, making music. This is a human made list of life dives. I'd happily explain any process to you if you wish or are wondering something about TBD. Just ask, I'm Carl and I love sharing what I've discovered and learned especially in the songs themselves. I see songs as one of the finest ways to learn something and bolt your truth to on any subject in a direct yet maybe less imposing manner as your singing it and making it mellifluous. It's hard to sing what you feel is a lie so in my view writing truly honest lyrics and making them songs can be a mini thesis for you on any subject.

No AI here... AI creativity insults my entire existence and the memory of all the dead artists that got their amazing work plagiarised to build current LLMs. I actually hope we legislate to fix that in the future if possible. Delete it and start again in my view. Building an Artificial Intelligence on stealing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Very clever! I'll stick with my actual intelligence thank you very much!
I do respect there are positive applications using AI music and in the future they will hopefully grow to being great for humanity. Right now though I believe there's a responsibility for artists to paint how humans make this world of music so generations that will only experience the world with AI music have a proper reference to retain and grow with. It's a fight for the soul of art until the soul of art is saved. Then we can utilise AI creativity more in my opinion but we have to make it an environment that doesn't wipe out individual evolution evolving music like they have done. A machine doing it for you is more matrix then artist. 

I had actually collaborated with a couple of AI artists and naively excepted them at face value. I nuked those songs though even though I made them very real... No thanks don't want to spread any of that shit! If you noticed this and saw me as a hypocrite I don't blame you but unfortunately that's the fake vs real guess world we are starting to need to navigate at the moment! It has made me overly protectionist about who to embrace!

Something needs to change fast. I've decided to stop following obvious AI accounts and I'm sorry if we have built up a relationship but it's a battle so... and it's not ok the current status quo... and every AI account that.doesnt lay bare what it is you are creating the problem so I can't support you any more and I don't mind if you stop spreading my music either. Thanks human to human but not with AI music as the medium thanks very much!

My shorterm plan is to start making a method to audit a SoundCloud profile as a reference to make it easier to avoid more AI typists. The more we avoid them the more we take the algorithm away from them. So in my view that's the tactic... We drive them all into a corner so they can digitally  pee all over each other and we can listen and share music. Hopefully culturally it will evolve more thoughtfully and we can come back to it and maybe even embrace it in cool creative ways. But it cannot in my view be allowed become the shortcut to result that kids get inspired by and don't bother learning music. That will limit the wiring of their brains and it's probably true to say overall health because of that.

Thanks a million for spending the time to read my bio... It changes like the wind. I feel a little bit sorry for you 😆 But I loooooove SoundCloud and I love getting upgraded off all the geniuses here so feel free to poke me anytime and I'll poke you back with my ears and honest opinion ❤️‍🔥 (and probably point out why you're better then AI 🕺🏽)
