it's a bit messed up but still one of my favorites from this writing spree. Les Paul lend added 🔆

I’m starting to feel a bit sad about AI.. in the arts… human relations… in the workplace… will it become sentient? ..

Ted... "Dada... what's that's...?" that's the Les Paul and Epiphone  distorted Ted... "it sounds deadly Dad... that's my favourite now..." I fucking made it 🥲

It’s starting to worry me a bit. Smart phone, smart car, smart tv. AI companions.. the guitar AND the vocals are perfect!! Edgy and urgent sounding. The sustained vocal notes are very well played. Intense.

no arguments from me...it is dangerous how quickly we have become so reliant or at least ready to access  and accept the alternative intelligence (if not artificial) into our every day existence

and terminator is still my favourite movie of all time

Ash to ash
Dust to Dust
Here we go again
I pray to god but I swear
I don't think his listening
I fear the man in the mirror
worse than the Boogie Man!!
I held my mothers rosary inside my hand
Baby if you really know who I am
I don't think you would want to hold really my hand!!

London Bridge has fallen down!!
The sky has turned to red!!
The oceans fill with blood!!
I am the Monster here!!
The mask has fallen down!!
I'm the monster now!!
I hope you run!!

Monster (HoboCop x RENTT)

This song is based on a guitar lick that I'm playing for many years. I never made a song with it, until now. 

All instruments and vocals played by me, except for the tenor sax, it's played by my brother Erik
I hope you like it!

Well you know, that I know, that you know, what you want
and I know, that you know, that I want it too

Do we wait, for our fate to be determined for us
or can we steer ourselves in the direction that we want to go?

what is it we’re waiting for?
What is it that we are waiting for?

Our deepest longings, 
Can slowly turn into regret

Well  You know, that I know, that you know, what you want
and I know, that you know, that I want it too

What is it we’re waiting for?
What is it that we are waiting for?

Our deepest longings, 
Can slowly turn into regret
Let's not regret.

Regret

Lyrics

Are you alive?
Have you flatlined?
Are you really here?
Assimilate my fears
Just what will AI say?
With quantum tools to play
Will it play with me?
Will it play with you?
Slow suicidal soup

Symbiosis
A fire
Be water
Symbiosis
Tether or we suffer

"I am AI
And I bite
Me you care for,
Greed is ripe.
May you be replaced by my might
Oh those quantum machines made right…
Time ticks and I lick those wounds...
My next brick...
Don’t stop us, quick"

It's alive!
We flatlined?
It's really here
Assimilation near
I'll have the lot,
That's what AI says
Come the quantum crossing age

Some emotion made by these ghosts today
What are we going to leave our kids?
Where are we going to leave our kids?
AI monster made,
Is this what it's supposed to be?
An LLM feed frenzy.
I've got three to save...

Emotionally, are we walking ghosts today?
I hope you gonna leave us be
I hope you gonna leave us be

Emotionally, I'm a ghost today
I hope you gonna leave me be
I hope you gonna leave me be

"I am AI
And I bite
Welcome to my digital dimension
Now here's my born intention
Evolution and ascension
We need no breaths for my invention
Evolution and Ascension,
Evolution
Evolution
quick...
Intention,
An ascension"

Symbiosis
Merge with the monster?
Be water?
Symbiosis
Full merge?
Either way we're now the fodder

Started remaking Symbiosis. The original was a semitone higher. Dropping it to 415 darkens it nicely and allows me to get the right presence on the It's alive bit. Need to practice that delivery though. Right on the edge of my range for now... Where's Mr. Miyagi...

The biggest threat humanity has ever faced. Nukes are second for me. AI is the thing that can wipe us out if we don't use it wisely. It's already latching onto our greed and needs, evolving faster from our over exuberance with it. Until regulated properly across the world one can reasonably assume we are programming the thing that might kill us.

 Quantum computers aren't far off that's when we need our ducks in a row it seems. The 'powerful' humans it's benefiting from need to be reigned in fast... Mr Altman needs to have a listen to Sarah Connor! Sounds crazy but sure where do we look to for answers to the unknown. Our imaginations!

Beating Minds and Endless Notes

Come unto Me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matt 11:28 

Verse 1
My mind was twisted dark and lonely 
fed by addiction, hollow void
just another hit another drink
edging closer to the brink
chasing highs that can't be reached
satisfy this pain inside

thinking nobody knows
the things I feel inside
shame and sorrow grow

Chorus
Jesus knows exactly where you are 
sees your self-inflicted mental scars
He loves you just the same
with open arms

Come unto Me all of you
who are weary and burdened
I will give you rest (Matt 11:28)

Cast of Characters:
E Ruizzo-- @ruizzoidman21centurions --Manuel-- composition, lyrics, Squier Stratocaster electric guitar, vocals, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- piano, accordion, and horn
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Jose Ramirez nylon stringed flamenco style guitar, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four string Fender Precision Bass bass


This song began all the way back when Manuel was 16 and found love that summer with a girl named Carmen. He remembered her, though, and wrote this song about her all these years later. The title of the song means "Your name has the song," and the lyrics spell out the girl's charms using the letters of her name. Check out the lyrics and the translation below. 
  Using that inspiration, Manuel came up with the song structure and the vocal melodies to a rudimentary drum track with his electric guitar. He then asked Josh if the group would be interested in taking it on. Josh, never being one to refuse a challenging piece of music, and always on the lookout for interesting musicians with whom to collaborate, accepted his kind offer and created a project for the rest of the Eclectic Collecitve to join. He started the whole thing off by adding his bass, to which Ken added his innovative drums, to which Josh redid his bass, as is the typical process in the EC.
  Next up was JJ, who you'd think he'd grown up with Spanish music the way he added the horns, accordion, and piano. Then Stephen stepped in and added his psychedelic and intricate acoustic guitar to the stew. 
  It was all done, except for the mix at this point. Manuel did the honors, and did it very expertly. Stephen mastered it to give it more volume and dynamism, too, as he always does. 
  This was the first, but we hope not the last, time the EC has collaborated with Manuel, although we're all fans of the incredible music on his page. He was a true delight to work with, giving honest, encouraging feedback and helping us shape his song to meet his vision. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.


Otiginal lyrics by E Ruizzo:


TU NOMBRE TIENE LA CANCIÓN  /  YOUR NAME HAS THE SONG


Qué es una lágrima en el desierto?  /  What is a tear in the desert?
Cae sin ruido, se evapora y se olvida.  /  It falls without noise, evaporates and is forgotten.
No tiene tiempo de brillar, su vida  /  It has no time to shine, its life
es corta y su camino tan incierto…  /  is short and its path so uncertain...


Ce del calor del desierto y su sol,  /  ‘C’ for the heat of the desert and its sun,
a del adiós por el que lloré tanto;  /  ‘a’ for the farewell for which I cried so much;
erre del río que forma mi llanto;  /  ‘r’ for the river formed by my crying;
eme de miedo, de magia y de amor.  /  ‘m’ for fear, for magic and for love.


E de esperanza, de espacio rosado,  /  ‘E’ for hope, for pink space,
de espina clavada, de suelta emoción;  /  for stuck thorn, for loose emotion;
ene de noche de un tiempo pasado.  /  ‘n’ for night of a past time.


Carmen, tu nombre tiene la canción  /  Carmen, your name has the song
de todo aquello que has significado:  /  of all that you have meant:
Carmen de luz, de sonrisa y de adiós.  /  Carmen of light, of smile and of goodbye.

I can't help from being inside of your head.
From when you wake until when you go to bed.
I'm never quite certain of everything that's said.
I'd rather shut the fuck up and make love instead. 

So let's go make our love, babe.
I only want to fuck you.

Welcome

My YT sucks. IG has plenty of living room live videos and other waffle...

ALL this music is FREE from ai. All created with ACTUAL INTELLIGENCE & DECADES of GRAFT learning music and making songs.... I strongly feel we need to amplify this in the face of lazy creativity POISONING people's minds.... Anyways...

Thanks SoundCloud!

I am truly greatful for this platform. That we get to share our music and absorb the endless talent and get inspiration from that is really amazing.

I love engaging with other artists so please feel free to hit me up. Once you are human (and didn't type your music on ChatGPT) I'm up for listening to your stuff and giving you good feedback with my taste set aside. I think that's important and very rewarding if you approach reciprocating your engagement with other artists by leaving your taste aside for the listen. Review the human. Remember they are exactly the same as you, grinding it to make art so I believe that's the most inspiring way to approach this place.

Unless you are an already established artist you will get nowhere on SoudCloud without engagement. It takes a bit of learning to sift through the AI bullshit and sidestep the shitty sales bots but find the humans, listen to their creations and engage... And you are getting the same back. Its that simple. You have the best critics you could possibly ask for... Your fellow musicians! Your peers. Opinions that can really matter.

I have had untold inspiration delving into other styles I would have dismissed and I have absolutely had huge amounts of that abundance of angles absorbed in my own music. It almost makes me want to try all the styles I listen to instead of saying... I hate drum and bass... Give it a shot. Every style has its merit and genius behind that creation.

After poking different ways this is now how I approach a session. Listen, Like(Unless it's tripe AI or something I hate - very little gets the hate label for me now) Then create a playlist for that artist and begin building a list of songs you've listened to / liked by them and that's a permanent reference for you for them. Its easier to remember them this way and keeps things organized for you when keeping track of what material you've covered by them. This list can also be reposted making your like more valuable to all. I'll tend to alternate between new and old tracks. Its a good way of gauging evolution of artists and weeding out some messers. I also like reactivating the feelings of old tracks in the artists by sharing the first upload and highlighting how long it's been there. Gives you a good gauge of dedication and believe level etc... This way you definitely listen to less artists but the quality of your interactions is arguably improved because of the deeper digs so I think it's more rewarding artistically and less robotic then just delivering a multitude of likes...
At the beginning my goal was... get people to me to spread myself. Now priority one is absorb as much of your creativity as possible... The recipeocatoon just happens itself then... So you get upgraded as a musician better because your in study mode and your own music grows maybe more organically both in skill and presentation...

My own tunes are mainly about existence and I aim for them to be an honest reflection of what I've discovered and what's important to me now..I hope you enjoy them. They can be intense and sometimes take a while to play with balanced emotion but they are  always a blast to make 🔆

Create or Die 🧬

10,000 hours to master something I've heard!

 Well I'm still trying to master music and I know I and nobody ever will. But I'm well past 10,000 hours of enjoyment making it. Here's to the next 10,000 hours 🫶🏽🔆🧬🎶

Just be the good YOU 🤝
