Congratulations, ya made it thru another month.

Im gonna take this opportunity to ask you to think about the data you leak every day. Your phone, your pc, your tv, your digital world. Every internet connected thing and what you are sharing with people you wouldnt trust with a pile of dog turds.

Yes its almost impossible to completely get around, but at least know what you are sharing and think about a vpn. mullvad is a great start.

Party On and stay safe

Heavy Fog: An Introduction

Is this one or two questions from the daily?

The morning ritual of waking up takes me over an hour. After waking up and thanking the Lord for another day and asking for guidance I paddle out to the kitchen and get the magical liquid of life dripping into the pot. As that happens I have a cigarette and groggily await my first cup.

I then get into the depressing news of the day which by the way doesn’t change all that much on a daily basis. A normal headline would read something like this, “The world is going to hell, let’s speed up this ride!”.

As for the last 3/4 days it stopped there, the mind blank when it came to ideas to write about or the inability or want to post anything. Usually I find my way to emails, reader and then to all the fun prompts available.

FUN PROMPTS

AJ Wilson, a dear friend and collaborator turned me onto a new drug as “Huey Lewis” would say when she showed me the Suno app. I was instantly hooked on the quite unique way of bringing my poetry to life. I dove into this endeavor without testing the depths and learned I had to either sink or swim in the murky waters of AI enhancement.

Making videos soon became a part of this journey and my imagination went into high gear. Slop soon followed with a couple of videos I no longer have out so I found myself drifting away from them for now. Legal issues soon had me thinking I needed to quit doing videos and find something else to occupy my altered mind.

This in turn became a new journey in itself, nothing like writing the books I did last year. Copyrights are totally different and the use of AI music is sketchy to say the least in the eyes of staying legal. Enter more Dawgy Daddy schooling.

I became obsessed with continuing to put music to my poems and soon found out that if I wanted to continue this I needed to get everything protected. I finally decided to slow down on the construction of the “Dive” as it looks okay to me and concentrate on the legal side of where I want to go.

I’ve learned that to do this right is going to take longer than a couple of generations of a song. I needed to learn how to use a DAW which will change everything I make in Suno. A quiet space needs to be built [sound booth] where I can record my vocals and replace the ones generated by Suno. I then need to get my name, band name and label all trademarked [$$$ ouch!] After finding all of this out I still was not ready to give up and so will move forward into a long journey of getting ready for the release of my first album.

The next move in this journey is to gather all the muses and voices in my altered mind and have a board meeting to decide if I want to move forward, the answer is a unanimous yes.

This is the first post in a series describing my journey into the making of AI music and what it will take to try and do it right.

UNDERSTAND THIS!

I do not claim to be a musician but rather declare I am a lyricist and want to share what these poems sound like inside my head.

Forgetting is as important as remembering. The problem is knowing what to forget and what to remember.
