My anti-AI rant song ... I wrote this shortly after a friend of mine proudly told me how she'd created a song using AI which she had fed a sample of her voice. This gal doesn't sing. She sent me the YouTube link to the song and obviously wanted my feedback.

That artificiale
You call a song
Bit and bytes pretending
That thing made by machine so perfectly
Much more than your bidding
I won't buy it
Just because you can.

Just because we can
Don't mean that we should
Just let's dig all the way down
Those things can't eat
Need no sleep
Have no cares at all

Don't tell me you're proud
And make a gake fool of ypurself
Things to do your bidding
I hope you made that clear
Take all from the past
For a future rearrange
Let the things make everything
Fake the only name
That's fair

Just because we can
Don't mean that we should
Just let's dig all the way down
Those things can't eat
Need no sleep
Have no cares at all

Digging a grave
For the human made
the work of our hearts
The work of our minds
Digging a grave
For the emanescent
Voices of ourselves

Digging a Grave

I'm A Songwriter & A Keyboard I Play With One Hand My Dream Is My Music  Keep On Rocking

Hello. I'm CARL GREEN IN PARTICULAR, a solo artist from North East England. My music is progressive unorthodox pop, consisting of keys, percussion, found sounds and vocals. I've been releasing regular EP's since 2023, promoting them via self produced videos which have clocked up thousands of views on YouTube. My fifth EP (Trainee Clairvoyant) is out October 2025, and a full album is due summer 2026.

"Carl Green is something of a local Damon Albarn in terms of work ethic, artist output, and his desire to jump across genres and back. Fantastic." N E Volume Magazine, March 2025

"Quirky, unpretentious and idiosyncratic- a hill top beacon of originality." DIRGE Magazine, March 2025

"Unique alt-pop goodness." NARC Magazine, March 2025

"Wonderful Gravitas Pop that is a reminder of the great mavericks of the 80's, Hitchcock, Partridge, Newell et al - incredibly inventive, particularly arrangement wise." I Don't Hear A Single blog, December 2023

"A timeless collection of hard-to-pigeon-hole tracks, full of 70's feels, acoustic sounds, and eternally important messages; Carl's music never fails to impress." Poppleton Ink blog, September 2023

"One of the region's real mavericks - he manages to inject his stuff with an operatic amount of drama." The Crack Magazine, August 2023

I'm also the curator of Spotify playlist UNDERGROUND POP PARK shining a light on some wonderful underground artists from around the globe. Please listen - so much great music just waiting to be discovered. open.spotify.com/playlist/4jBGeBNy2sgtvQLaVIJTtc

Alpha: A Sonic Journey Through Time and Tempo
Alpha isn't just a sound system; it's an experience, a journey through the very essence of rhythm and bass. Imagine the raw, tangible energy of old-school spinning on vinyl, where every crackle and pop tells a story, and the DJ's touch is an intimate part of the sonic landscape. Alpha honours this tradition, bringing forth the foundational beats that laid the groundwork for dance music as we know it. We're talking about the deep grooves that resonate in your chest, the kind of sound that demands movement and ignites a primal urge to dance.
But Alpha doesn't stop there. Our sonic palette expands exponentially, embracing the cutting edge with the latest techno beats. This is where precision meets power, where intricate rhythms intertwine with thumping basslines to create an immersive, almost transcendental experience. Picture relentles,, every mix, is meticulously chosen and crafted to deliver that "heart-pumping, soul-shaking" sensation. It's about more than just playing music; it's about curating an atmosphere, building a collective energy that resonates through the crowd.
So, when we say Alpha will "set your sneakers on fire," we're not just being poetic. We mean you'll be compelled to move, to lose yourself in the rhythm, to feel the music course through your veins until your feet are a blur on the dance floor. Get ready for a high-octane sonic adventure that bridges generations of sound, all designed to make you move.

Looking forward to hearing everyone else too

Music is an international language and it's such fun to learn new perspectives on that way... Thank you all for listening and taking part in all these moments 🙏🎶♥️

Hello, welcome to my page.

I've been making music since 1972. At the time, with Pedro Castro, we created the alternative rock band Petrus Castrus. 

The music I'm placing here is mostly from the home recordings of my ongoing projects and ideas. I created a few playlists (Inéditos) according to language:
Portuguese: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos
English: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-en 
Spanish: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-sp
French: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-fr
Italian: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-it

I also placed the concept album "Três Jardins" in a playlist. There are two long tracks (Mediterrâneo and Isaías) for full concept albums, and corresponding playlists that gather some of their individual tracks. A playlist called Synergies gathers the collaboration projects with other musicians in the fantastic SoundCloud community

Petrus Castrus edited records can be found on Spotify and Soundcloud. See the Facebook Petrus Castrus page for more details, including comments about the recordings uploaded here. 

We are both amateur musicians, i.e. music lovers. As for me, I'm just an electrical engineer with a master in AI that really loves creating music and use it to share ideas. That is why all tracks include lyrics or texts.

By the way I'm not interested in third-party offers to boost the number of plays. I like it as it is, and I've always declined such offers. Thanks anyway. 

I don't repost much, just some tracks that I find outstanding and with very few plays, so I can help them to get better known. I believe that repost parsimony also makes life easier for those who follow me.

Enjoy!

*** UPDATE May 2025. Good news. The SC contractual terms have now been corrected, and our music will no longer be used for AI training. NOTE April 2025: It just came to my attention that, unless we do a separate contract, all our uploaded music in SC can be freely used for AI training. This is written down in the legal section, under the licensing paragraphs. What can (should) we do to change that? *** 

*** Note Dec 2024: Alas, AI generated content that is not disclosed as such is now being posted at an alarming rate, sometimes multiple tracks in a single day from fake artists that even write down fake introductions, saying how much they love music that comes from the heart. Please avoid reposting these deceptions, it only adds to the confusion.  And it encourages the algorithms to give them preference. ***

*** NOTE June 2024: Generative AI is becoming amazingly powerful. Nothing against it. Just to avoid the confusion and embarrassment of finding ourselves praising and encouraging mindless algorithms, I believe it would be nice for us to always disclose its usage in our tracks. What do you think?  ***

Rock,Techno,Ambient,Metal,EDM etc...
There is no border.
Enjoy freely!

Much of my music is FREE TO DOWNLOAD.
Love this space, wherever it is, and the amazing sounds of humanity. Happy to mix my music with yours, if you have an idea or no idea : ) -- if you would like to remix, remake, redeem any part of anything here, let me know.   ~

Loud and clear folks: Watchglass do NOT use any AI in any part of their song creation. Neither pitch correction or autotune are used on Gina's vocals. All nuance and emotional expression are preserved. All songs are 100% humanmade!

Hello, thankyou for stopping by! If you had a listen and liked what you heard, the best way to help us forward in the great sea of music would be to follow us on Bandcamp if you possibly can.... really depends on whether you have a Bandcamp account. If you can't then we still very much appreciate a show of love here in the form of likes, comments and re-posts... thank you very much for these :) 
Watchglass are a duo who like exploring 
musical directions and having fun making songs and albums. We have been working as a partnership since 2017, or most of the time since then. Gina is the singer and lyricist. Mark is the guitarist and everything else and makes the songs and is the one who Gina will forever hold responsible for showing her she could not only sing well enough to front a band but also write passable, and sometimes even excellent songs. 

We have 5 albums which earned acclaim from Chief Editor Bandcamp, Joseph E Keyes:

Every Conversation in June 
(Featured in BandCamp's Best of Spring collection 2023)
“The album plays out like one long, slightly spooky fairy tale…A magic spell drifting in from lands unknown, Every Conversation in June is a quiet marvel.” - JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

Beautiful Dust
“...delightfully enigmatic pop songs built from enchanting melodies and eternal optimism.” - Ben Salmon (Bandcamp Daily)
“..as hushed and evocative as a ghost story whispered around a campfire.”- JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

Raw Colours 
“It’s another irresistible album from a band that gets better with each go-round.”- JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

Longways Conversations
After listening to this album one of our fans took a dive into our back-catalog and had this to say:
"I’ll get around to writing something more formal, but I have been listening to Watchglass almost exclusively the past few weeks. I’m genuinely apologetic - songs like With a Trice, How Will You Know Me, what it means to believe, just to name a few, deserved a tonne of superlatives from myself, and I said nothing until now. Really, please pass on to Mark that his arrangements and production doesn’t go unnoticed - I delight in hearing something new each time.
You guys are seriously talented, and works class, really, and the new album is incredible. Let’s push it out there.

With a trice - that makes me teary. You’re such a nuanced singer and you guys are an amazing duo."

Wheels in an Elsewhere
"Another gorgeous new LP from Sydney's watchglass, this one branching out slightly into what Jon Hassell once called "fourth world music.""  JE Keyes Bandcamp New and Notable

Hello! I’m a university professor of history who enjoys playing guitar and piano/keyboard, and occasionally composing — unpretentiously, just for fun.
Most of my recordings (made with a KorgD8, Audacity, and more recently Reaper for MIDI and the Spitfire Audio libraries) are entirely homemade and decidedly imperfect.
My music includes old songs (all written back in the last century; here I’ve only shared the ones I’ve reworked in recent years) as well as both old and new instrumentals — usually in several versions, some of which eventually disappear because they’re simply unlistenable.

Thanks for stopping by and giving something a listen; in the description you’ll often find explanatory notes or translations of the lyrics.
Here I’ve discovered a community of talented musicians and songwriters, and plenty of beautiful music to enjoy. Whenever I like, comment, or repost a track, it’s always the result of attentive listening. For the same reason, I’m not interested in trading empty “likes” without real engagement, and I won’t reply to messages from would-be promoters — follower counts don’t matter to me in the slightest.

Update (2024, September 9). Completed the "AI & (fake) songwriting project". Here: https://soundcloud.com/mick-hansan 

P.S.: A prayer, a humble request to those who publish songs: use the description area to make the lyrics available... This would make listening to them more complete and enjoyable!

I've posted some 'live' homemade performance here: https://www.instagram.com/michele_ansani/
