I like it. -U-
What if you use all the variations in separate verses of ONE song? OuO Like, it'll be 'wow'! :T Hmm, but maybe credit the AI? Do you have to credit AI? /:T

Very cool. Tech art is still art. When you say "generated"... What sort of program did you use?

Realized I didn't post the last few pieces of music I wrote! These are all background music for Ludum Dare games (see my Games thread)

* Lily and the Swarm: Intro - Loop
* Skyloop: Background music
* Overclocked: Level - Puzzle

Was messing around in No Man's Sky and I built this:

And then I did this:

Which sounds like this:

I'm not sure I'm going to try to write any more music inside of NMS, because that was a pain in the butt -- the interface isn't very sophisticated and it's really very limited on how much control you have over the notes that are played. But it was a fun experiment and I'm happy with the result.

EDIT: Not sure why the images aren't working...

On the subject of music I've written and forgotten to post about...

I put it in my games thread, but I forgot to put it here!

Those are really fun. I can see a little figure going about and doing rpg related things to all of those.

Heh, but I think only Swirling Infestation actually fits that description, and I didn't write the music for that one!

Rocky Road

This is a massive leap in my music. I have never written anything that sounds like this before. I'm kind of at a loss for words.

The audio quality is easy to explain. I, finally, for the first time in my life, have a workflow set up that lets me write music in a way that works for me while also being able to use professional instrument plugins. (It involves running a Windows shareware program from the 90s under Wine and connecting through to Pipewire on Linux to an incomplete open-source plugin host that I was able to hack on enough to keep from crashing.)

But the rest?

I don't know where I learned to write drums like that. I don't think I've ever heard this chord progression before. I've never been able to flesh a piece out to have distinct sections with a dramatic arc and an actual ending (even if the ending is slightly cheap).

Listening to it, it's... hard to believe I wrote it.
