What to even say about this turn of events? I started off doing a big angry post full of snot towards AI last year and now this year? I'm using it as a tool. Not THE tool I should say, but A tool, used I guess the argument is.... in a similar fashion to when I took my lyrics or rough drafts into songwriting or production sessions. Back then I walked in with work I'd done, and then worked with the people with the know how, of how to put that work into a produced recording.
This is what Ai is but sadly (for the industry) it's cheaper. I put in my lyrics and/or a recording of my own for the ai to draw from. I've never typed in a request to generate a song out of thin air or a single description even. Instead I have the song lyrics mostly fleshed out with the sound ideas in place by the time I bring it to the machine.
I just don't have a studio, nor am I Prince who can play and record everything himself. So I use the tools at my disposal. I guess it's ai. I guess I'm in the Jetsons after all.
Fortunately I'm not reaching for masterpieces, I'm doing this so that I can use my songs for social media, or social events. And also, my original plan has been to make a musical that can be performed at high school. I've wanted to reach the kids since forever, so that is still simmering at the back.
And also, I'm telling you because this is why some of the songs are so antagonistic and mean. I need a few dramatic moments in the musical, something to suffer over and learn from and then overcome. As is the way. :)
So if you find yourself confused by why some of the lyrics are bold or unkind, it's because not only do they reflect what I've seen being said online by way more than one person but it's part of a story line.
So with that, I present" " There's DRAMA at the KITCHEN line...."
