General / Off-Topic What song are you listening to right now :)

And a perfect song for laid back lazy playing on a Sunday afternoon in summer, it's dead easy but still cool. Lol, the drums sound like a typical drumloop repeat in some DAW, but are actually played by ace drummer Danny Cummings. Same approach as with songs like 'True Love never Fades' from 2007 which came in plain C major open and just keeps sticking with me ever since. As I'm engineering my on-foot stuff currently, I found out you can replace Janine with Graphene which is cool ;)

The only thing I find real odd is the extraordinary amout of low end bass that makes everything sound a little muddy. I've never seen this before (and no, it's not my ears, yet!) and may not be noticable on consumer hardware, but is rather predominant on both my Mackie monitors and the Sennheiser in-ears (IE 100 pro) I currently use as a headphone replacement. Odd.

There's a new AI site named suno.com and it's freaking scary how far things have come. Humans get shoved away piece by piece, but still we got a soul and machines not.

n fact, I actually used Suno to make a whole 10-song music album for playing on my live streams when playing Elite and don't have to worry about licensing rights. It took me 3 months and many hours, often late at night, to shape and make it how I wanted it to sound.

My daughter is using SUNO to create songs as support for the comics she's working at, using her onw lyrics reflecting various scenes and characters from the comics.
Indeed it's quite scary what it can produce. Sure, the voices may sound weird at times, but it's easy to get over.
And it's improving.

I would assume in the future human composed and played music would be as rare as having painters painting your portraits instead of having someone taking a picture.
(hopefully not)

Anyways, just one sample that i find disturbingly good

I just gave it an idea and context in about 15 words. Creepy.

NB. I really can't stand their default shouter, but anyway. And if you wonder where you might have heard that (just briefly appearing) electric guitar sound before: I think it reused Snowy White, Bird of Paradise for that;)

Forgive me, but I find AI music somehow fascinating. You can see clearly it has no soul, if you got any musicality in you, or are a melancholist, even. But still, very few will notice the difference. Which is comforting, as it has always been so. Now, we got this gem. If you play this on real instruments, it will conquer any party.


AI is able to turn any nonsense into a potential hit song. Another example:


That 'No plan B' song I actually find quite cool. If I only knew not that the original prompt was 'Contemplative Acoustic blues about No Plan B.' It generated everything else, including the lyrics which I was gobsmacked by when reading for the first time. Ok, not acoustic blues exactly, or Blues even, but boy.

To remediate it, here's some real stuff.
