Here's a little art experiment of endless music I did for fun a while ago with #Wwise and #UnrealEngine

I recorded some drums and stuff that could work together independently of their order and designed some rules to randomize them, giving more probabilities to some notes and instruments. Then I linked the volume of each channel to different colored lights illuminating the painting 'Last Judgment and the Seven Deadly Sins' by Jacob van Swanenburg.

Last Judgment and the Seven Deadly Sins by Drumchord

A little music experiment / Neverending music generator - NO AI

itch.io

I'm seeing that a lot of bands use AI to make videos or images for videos and now I have a new rule for myself:

If you use AI to generate any artistic/creative material to promote your self-made artistic/creative thing I'm not going to your concerts or buy your merch or pay any attention to whatever the fuck you create. If you don't respect another artistic fields I won't respect your craft.

Adventure Game Studio is not -by far- a powerful or a versatile game engine but I have to say it has one of the best communities out there. Thanks to their help I was able to implement in my game an auto-pan randomized step sound system that works like a charm. I know almost no one will ever appreciate it or even notice it but just the enjoyment of the process makes it totally worth it.

Here's a link with the solution if you need it:

But yeah, lets take all of that out of the process because the true purpose of music is to make records as easy and fast as possible, right? Is like saying that the true purpose of philosophy is to sell books.

"...and when everyone's super....no one will be".

While creating music the most joyful moments are the ones when you find THAT melody, riff or arrangement that makes you feel like you just discover fire. While playing with bands you learn to work creatively with other minds and develop social skills and the connection you get with another human being just by playing together cannot be expressed with words.

When I think about the greatest things I've got from learning and making music is actually the process. While learning you face your limitations and fight them; you develop patience, perseverance and endurance against frustration and you feel awesome when you finally beat them.

Youtube just showed me an awfully long and unskippable #AI music generator commercial in which a soulless voice says that thanks to their crap-generator machine now you can make music "effortless" and how great it is.

"Effortless"... that word caught my attention.

I always try not to have prejudices against people just because the way they look but my experience has tought me that if someone is going to rob me most probably will be the white guy in a suit.

As far as I know, 100% of the people of my country (Spain) have been robbed by a white guy in a suit so I suggest you to watch your belongings whenever you encounter one. The expensiver the suit, the worse.

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."

Fix Your Hearts or Die

It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

The Reframe

Here's a nice example of using AI in a creative way ...to mock AI.
