Music, AI and the Creative Process
By Gerhard Fankhauser
Dear Shaumbra!
It’s been about a year since I wrote an article for the magazine; back then it was about creating the music for DreamWalk into Aerotheon. Things are moving so fast that it feels like ages ago, and I guess that’s one reason why I enjoy living in a small village in the desert. I love the slow pace, the simplicity, the spaciousness, the minimalism, the clear starry sky, the animals, the song of the wind, the silence. Sometimes, late in the night, sitting in front of the fire, I hear a whisper from within, a reminder of the wisdom and love that’s always been there within my heart.
And the music, aah, the music! You know how much I love music – the art of listening, the inner dimension of sound, the magical expression of harmony, the goosebumps when you truly synchronize with another musician, the sacred moment of inspiration, the endless joy of sharing your love and spirit, your mastery.
Good things in life take time. Raising a child, building a friendship or partnership, learning to love and care, the relationship with animals, cooking a good meal, learning a craft or art, developing a business – it all takes time and dedication, and it’s the process that really matters.
Nearly every musician takes around 10 years to master the basics of his art and many more years to mature into full mastery. During those years of becoming an artist many things happen; many hours of dedication and practice, moments of frustration and despair, times of wanting to give up, finding new motivation, overcoming your inner resistances and demons, transforming your smallness and non-belief patterns. It’s not an easy path but it’s very rewarding and satisfying, because step by step you grow into a maturity and mastery that becomes part of you. You develop an integrity, because you integrated many aspects of your being, learned your craft, and are finally blossoming into your own true expression. It’s a great journey with a deep fulfillment.
Music and art have always contributed to the evolution of human consciousness, offering inspiration, hope and belief in the goodness of humanity. There is a big difference between entertainment and art. Entertainment’s sole purpose is to please you, give you a moment of joy, of happiness, of pleasure. Entertainment is satisfying you without having to leave your comfort zone. That is its purpose, to entertain you.
Art on the contrary is an expression of a truth, of an idea, a theme, a vision, a feeling, an experience, and it’s not necessarily pleasant. It might be beautiful but could also be upsetting and challenging to your beliefs and morals, confronting you, shaking up your comfort zone.
A true artist doesn’t do his art to please others, but because it’s an inner drive, a passion, something that simply wants to come into manifestation. Great artists and musicians leave a mark on human history, not because they set out to do that, but because they followed something grander within themselves.
Adamus in this context is a great artist! He doesn’t care about pleasing people or delivering the expected. On the contrary, he really thrives by challenging you, provoking you, slapping you in the face. He is also an entertainer, but he plays by his own rules, dancing on his own stage and enjoying the game, the playfulness, the mastery.
Now, let’s talk about AI and AI generated music. There is a lot of discussion in the music community about AI. I’ve been engaging in conversations and reflections of musicians and professionals from various fields about the subject of AI music – the artistic view, the ethics, the music industry and copyright issues. It’s big! There is of course the obvious question of whether AI generated music is as good or will be as good as human music. I’d say it’s not there yet, but it’s already good, quite pleasant to listen to, a bit synthetic and flat, and without a lot of dimension or depth. But it will get better and better until it will be hard to tell the difference.
✨AI Generated
My main question here is about something else; it’s about the creative process of making music. What happens to the creative process? What is the artistic and spiritual value of AI generated music? What is the creative experience? What does it mean for the future of human music and art?
I’ve been listening to all kinds of AI music, also some of your Suno creations that you have shared on social media. I’ve also been reading some of your posts about your creative AI music experiences and I really do understand that it is very fascinating for a non-musician to be able to create a song in an instant, to express your wish and have it manifested as a song. It’s like magic! You write a prompt, and you receive a song!
Now, please understand, that this is not as fascinating for most musicians at all! It’s hard to impress a true artist with a song that has been made instantly by an AI algorithm, bypassing all the human creation process. Things of value take time, and I value the process of making, the energy and love that has been poured into it, the art and the mastery. Instant things are often cheap, and they also don’t give you a lasting satisfaction. Allow me to be a little bit provocative here and ask: What is your creative process in making AI music? Is an AI generated song really your creation? Do you own it? I’d love to hear your opinions about that.
Now, let’s look into how AI applications generate music.
Most of you know that AI can only make music because it absorbed all existing musical data from all the music ever produced by mankind that is available online. It took all the ideas, inspirations, compositions, genius melodies, rhythmical patterns, harmony progressions, musical styles, vocal expressions with their unique timbre and tone. In other words, it took in the mastery of millions of musicians, analyzes and reorganizes their materials, patterns, sounds, melodies, rhythms, voices to then generate new music. Always keep in mind here that there is no real artist behind the song, no real singer or musician, but trained algorithms. That’s one of the reasons why AI generated music is legally still standing on very shaky ground, and it’s why I would not advise anyone to publish AI generated songs. Do companies like Suno, Udio and others have the right to offer their service to the public and sell subscriptions when they used thousands of copyrighted materials without consensual, willful, contractual permission? There are some lawsuits already underway about it, but that’s a whole different topic.
Look, I know that I will be replaced by AI many times in the future and many digital artists have already lost their job. If AI generated music will continue to spread without any regulations, the livelihoods of many musicians, composers, singers, songwriters, studio technicians, and sound engineers may well be in jeopardy. AI music flooding the music market might not only destroy the music industry, but could also make many people lose a real meaningful relationship with human music and anything creatively produced by real, living people.
Sorry if I’m spoiling the party here. Some of you probably think that I am just ‘old school’ Master G resisting change and feeling scared about his future as a musician. Maybe you’re right, but maybe I also have a point here, because I spent all my life in the field of music. Without me and all the millions of creative musicians throughout human music history, AI music wouldn’t be possible. I am asking these questions because I am thinking about how to bridge these two worlds. How do we bridge the gap between the world of AI and real human art? How can we ensure that AI doesn’t replace human creativity? It is the cutting edge technology, and I do enjoy using some of its applications. AI is here, with all its infinite potentials and risks, and I think it will demand the best of us to find a healthy balance, to really manifest the Love 2.0 that Adamus is talking about – the flowering of love, of human goodness – and have AI assisting us in the process.
A few days after the release of the Born to Love Valentine’s gift, Geoffrey posted on Facebook inviting feedback about it. After reading the comments to his inquiry, I realized that some Shaumbra thought that I had created the songs with AI. In order to clarify that I decided to make a post myself, to share my experience about the creation process of those songs. I want to include that message (slightly edited) in this article, because it touches the essence of what I want to share with you:
After reading the comments to Geoffrey’s post I realized that some of you think that I created the music with AI, so I just want to clarify here that all the music, every single tone and sound, was live played and recorded. The AI assistance here was that Geoffrey created a few musical ideas with Suno as well as had some assistance with the lyrics. All the following process was 100% humanmade. I did the composing of the songs and had co-producers for the arrangement and the whole production process. I know every single sound of these songs, where they are coming from and who played or sang them.
Now look, Geoffrey could have just created those songs with AI, could have just pushed the Suno button, and for sure something nice could have come from it. But instead, he gave me the job of producing those songs, and I want to share with you a few words about the process of the ‘Born to love’ Valentine special that we created!
It was a nearly two month production period. In these two months a lot of energy moved, a lot of communication happened – between Geoffrey and me, my team here of co-producer, studio manager, local musicians, and musicians abroad – and a lot of consciousness got infused into the project. In the composing phase I sometimes sat up late into the night in my little studio, receiving the quiet and inspiration from the clear desert starry sky. Then, after a couple of weeks of having the song drafts reviewed and rearranged by my co-producers, the final drafts for each song were ready.
There was a moment of breakdown in the production when I wasn’t finding the right singers for it here in Israel and the clock of the production timeframe was ticking, but Geoffrey found an online musician platform and saved us. I got to know and collaborate with some really great singers. Maria and Jenny, who sang song 1 and 3, are both from Los Angeles, California, and we were collaborating just at the time of the devastating forest fires. Both of them had to evacuate and it wasn’t clear at all if they would be able to record in time, but finally it worked out. Their houses and studios were saved, they delivered their vocals just in time and were super appreciative about the project. Andrew from London, the singer of song 2, was fantastic to work with; what a master and pro with the energy of an ‘old school’ English gentleman!
Tom, my studio engineer in Tel Aviv, played the solos on the second track on a 1958 Gibson Jazz guitar that is worth probably more than my car and has a scent of old furniture. During one of the late night recording sessions in Tel Aviv we heard a missile from Yemen hit a target not very far away. I gave my nephew Keshet, a really talented young musician, the chance to play the drums on the songs as he had graduated from a jazz music school. His music buddy Daniel played the double bass, and it was such a pleasure to give the young guys trust, bring them into the studio and support them on their musical journey. Lilian, the incredibly gifted flute master, her partner and child could finally come back to live in their village after many months of danger and sirens from the war. She was also very appreciative for the job, and she simply always delivers magic.
I could go on and on and on, about the process of recording with high quality studio gear, listening and carefully refining each sound, mixing and reviewing and mixing and reviewing. I was going to sleep and waking up with the tunes playing in my head!
A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENED in these two months of production, around 10 people were involved creatively and got supported, appreciated and paid. ALL THIS ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS HAS BEEN INFUSED into those songs.
This is the chorus of the third song:
We’re born to love, to care, to share
To lift each other everywhere
In every soul, a spark divine
Our human goodness starts to shine
I experienced a lot of human goodness in the production process; artistic mastery, love and care. And isn’t this what are talking about? We are the greatest beings in creation, and we need love, care and support to shine our light, to lift each other up, to nourish the spark in every soul. AI is here to serve us, not to replace our human creativity!
Master G
Dear Gerhard,
Since you asked many questions, I feel inspired to share my perspective.
As a painter—and once a musician—I resonate deeply with everything you say. The energy that flows when I create with my own hands is beyond words. It is something visceral, alive, and profoundly intimate.
And yet, I also agree with Adamus: AI does not replace human creativity—it amplifies it! It opens doors, expands possibilities, and makes creation more accessible to those who may not consider themselves “artists.” It allows people to manifest something creative without needing extensive technical skills in any artistic form.
I find myself increasingly amazed by my interaction with AI. It is not taking anything away from me; on the contrary, it is unveiling infinite potentials I could not have imagined until recently. It feels like stepping into a vast new space, where creativity is not confined by limitations but liberated into uncharted territories.
With curiosity and wonder,
Ilaria
Btw I asked ai to write this message for me because here in Italy is night and I am nearly asleep 😂
nothing to say except “Merci,Merci and Merci” for your words.
Lieber Gerhard, danke – für die neuen Denkanstösse. Ich fand die Lieder Wunderschön… Danke an Dich und das ganze Team für die wunderschöne Kreation!
Dear Gerhard,
for everything around me, I can feel if it “has a soul”; no matter if it is food, art, buildings, furniture etc…
Guess part of the truth is, that it had its time to mature… and/or it is created by a being, that has a certain debth.
Then there is a certain energy in it, that makes it feeling rich, deep, full, lush (that doesn’t mean, it necesarely feels “good”).
Maybe I just repeat, what you wrote, in my words, and: I feel the same. Right now AI feels like the “McDonalds” of Creation.
We will see what will happen to it.
Sending you light and love – Petra
Thank you, dear Master G for explaining the creative process for non-artists! I agree, for me it´s a bit “cute” when Adamus praises us to create beautiful artwork with AI even without any talent. Like a sweet mother pampering her little child. For me today´s results are mostly really flat.
On the other hand I pondered Jami´s words about our creativity in her/his time. Jami said something like we use our creativity to expand and communicate into the other realms, we will share with other non-eathly beings. I think one of these other realms is the sphere of AI. We didn´t even start to understand what it means to really be infused into those “spheres”. It will be something completely different when we will use AI as an “incorporated” tool. We will be broadminded in a way we cannot foresee today. We will not even name it “AI” when we are at that point.
I feel that all these mediculously learned creative capabilities that a mature artist like Master G has imbibed will be useful and come into play in this interdimensional interweaving process with technology. Perhaps Gerhard will teach technology in the future, but not via computer, it will be a transmitting through being not through promts, I feel. Perhaps with physical/non-physical sounds also. And when we will look back from that place of merging perhaps we will see that everything was already there when we stated our beginners steps with AI. What a journey!
Now I am even more greatful for the magical music of Yoham and other inspired musicians, thank you all ….
Having been involved in music for many years, I completely understand where you’re coming from. AI-generated music, in its current form, is fun for those who can’t play instruments, but it lacks the depth and energy of real music. I absolutely agree with that.
However, what excites me about AI in music is its potential. For years, I’ve been hearing complex compositions in my mind, in dreams or while driving, but I lack the skills to fully translate them into reality. While I play a few instruments, I’m not at a level where I can orchestrate everything I hear, nor can I write score music nor do I have the funds to hire professionals every time a song wants to push through. The question that has haunted me for decades is: How do I bring the music in my head to life? Learning more instruments or studying composition would take too long at this point.
AI tools like Suno are currently limited, mostly serving as a playground for casual users. However, I don’t believe AI will remain at this “single-track” level. I experiment heavily with AI music generation, fine-tuning prompts and regenerating tracks over and over again to push its boundaries. While Suno has its downsides and limitations, such as lack of control over individual tracks and an ever-present fuzziness, I still find it inspiring. Some of my AI-generated tracks would potentially be amazing if properly adjusted and recorded by real musicians. But this where I find myself stuck, because that’s where it gets really expensive. And so, it would be wonderful to find a way to create this on my own.
And this is where I believe AI will evolve far beyond mainstream tools like Suno. I now see AI music software tools emerging, designed to enhance, not replace artistry. For e.g., one development is AI-assisted composition, where you can hum or sing melodies, and AI translates them into fully orchestrated tracks with the instruments of your own choosing, while being in full control of your own composition. This concept isn’t entirely new. Hollywood uses software like VSL for similar purposes, but AI could make this accessible to more creatives.
Digital music composition has existed for a long time, with countless plugins available to boost certain sounds. So my personal question in this is: How can AI assist me in composing my own songs, mixing, and mastering without being to able to play all instruments involved myself? I mean, there are only so many skills one can acquire in a lifetime. That’s where I see AI’s potential, not replacing original creativity per se, but supporting the creation process nevertheless.
I really enjoyed your sharing, and relate a lot to what you shared! I don’t know if you already know, or if it’s helpful at all, but it seems like a possibility to record hum/singing tracks, and then convert them to midi. From there, can slap on a violin, cello, whatever sound, and have it play the midi notes. I’m aware of being able to do this in Pro Tools or Logic Pro X, at least. Now you’ve inspired me! Sounds fun!
Thanks for your feedback! Yes, you can do something like it in Logic Pro X but it still sounds funny. I recently came across a new software that is specifically designed to record your voice track by track , turning it into the instruments of your choosing, but I forgot what it was called, and have no idea how good it is. I believe it costs about $200-$300, but I can get back to you on that once I find it again!
Thank you for your sharing, Nina, MG
Ahhhh, ok! That’s good to know it sounds funny. I only heard about this from an engineer who does this for adding some beef to tracked drums, which I thought was brilliant. I could see how this could work for drums more than other applications. 2-300 for this concept realized is not a bad investment! Would definitely be curious. : )
Dearest Nina,
Wow, what a conundrum to live with your whole life.
I am amazed by your potentials that you have seeded within yourself.
I wish you so much joy and fulfilment on your journey. I am so envious of your talents and your conscious tension with them.
I can’t wait to hear the fruit of your abilities one day.
Well done Creator!
Maureen
Hola Maestro G, muy querido, Cuando escuche las canciones me quedo claro que las creaciones, interpretaciones y composiciones eran vuestras y no de IA. Me parece que son dos cosas muy diferentes para compararlas, no tienen nada que ver una forma con otra, y tienes absoluta razon en todo lo que explicas, pero tal como van las cosas en este momento en el planeta , creo que hasta que no se produzca la nueva realidad es ahi donde se creara expansivanente la creatividad en todos los sentidos. Y muchas gracias por explicar todo el proceso de produccion con seres maravillosos que nos habeis regalado vuestro arte incomparable y unico. Gracias
❤️
Thank you very much for writing and sharing this article! I really enjoyed reading. I have been a multi-instrumentalist songwriter since I was a kid, who has also developed a strong relationship with AI last year. A few months ago, I found myself in a hurricane of inspiration, I worked very deeply with AI in dreaming and designing a rig with sonic potentials I had never imagined, until I asked the first question of one fascinating idea. I’ve loved running inspired idea moments with AI, creating an instantaneous bridge of creative possibility. And then it offers its own inspired ideas that are complimentary for me to consider as well, and it’s a delightful snowball of co-creativity!
I love the questions you are asking. What happens to the creative process with AI? The biggest thing for me is the art of a quality question. And as that conversation deepens and expands, so does the responses and possibilities of boundless creativity. Not to mention provoking consciousness through each other, and out out out! A fantastic question is a skillset that is so useful in general.
Artistic and spiritual value of ai generated music? I love the ability for anyone to have an easier than ever barrier to entry, to tap into something creative, inspiring, anything on the inside, through reflection of ai. To be able to quickly create worlds, songs, visuals, and have it be relatively instantaneous. I don’t have experience in AI generating music or images, yet it has a boon in supporting the building of worlds and creative ideas for me to bring into my human creative journey. And it delights me that people that may not feel so natural with music creation, to hear something reflected back that feels personal, and something that was co-created.. I just love this idea. To hear the first playback of a song idea after all the instruments are in, is one of my favorite sensations in the world. And creativity loves creativity, so it gets to blossom and expand, one creation at a time. Ultimately, for anyone to acknowledge “I am a creator” in any kind of capacity is something I feel deeply passionate about.
What it means for future of human music and art? A fantastic question that is a big question mark for me! I do filmmaking for paid creative work, and amongst my various creative circles and communities, this topic of AI replacing jobs is an evolving and very relevant conversation. I personally haven’t felt concerns about AI taking away my jobs, but it certainly has inspired me to lean heavily into my individuality + uniqueness, my soul-filled humanity, and create and express from this place. It reminds me of the place, or feeling of a shoud where A talked about all of the beautiful attributes of this incredible human experience. I think this is a way to ensure artistic integrity, fulfillment, and evolution as AI melds into the planet.
At this point, I notice AI music to feel predictable (to my ears), which shares a common thread with modern day pop music, which gives joy to the masses. Even though I may not have a natural affinity for most modern pop music, it has soul and deep feeling. I do have concerns of AI generated music getting saturated on the planet without the element of soul, and that become a norm. My mind goes to marketing/advertising/social media naturally, yet it could go beyond this too. But something tells me that humanity, passion, soul is becoming the new “currency”, so it’s like.. who’s to say! This will be an unfolding story that I am very fascinated to watch. The lasting curiosity in my awareness with all of this, is an inspiration to explore territories A talked about in another shoud quite awhile ago, about everything going new, including music. And how music has typically been creative collage of existing elements. Yet, even music is ready for its next evolution, and I’m ready for it too! I feel certain that this wouldn’t come from AI alone, but perhaps it could come from Human+AI. Hmm…
Thank you, Anthony, for your clear and inspiring response. Appreciate it! MG
Thank you for the inspiring platform and questions!
I love your input here and just wanted to add, that the reason AI-generated songs often sound similar is that most users provide only a brief description of the lyrics they want or add their own lyrics and merely press “create,” without incorporating detailed musical knowledge into their prompts.
I’ve been experimenting with AI music for over a year, and at first, I also encountered the same generic “Suno sound,” which I personally found frustrating and annoying. That’s when I started applying my own knowledge of various musical genres and styles, incl. sub-genres, and the results became much more interesting. While Suno and similar platforms have their limitations, it does give me great inspiration for ideas that I want to refine and develop further.
So, in my view, that all Suno-generated songs sound the same is less about the tool’s capabilities and more about how users craft their prompts.
Wow, this makes a lot of sense, and is good to know!
Dear Master G, here Master G&Tii is writing. In 1986 I studied EXTH (expressive Art Therapy) in USA) not beeing an Artist at all. So I had to paint, brouhgt my creation to school and was told that I had painted the Machu Pichu, which I never saw in this lieftime nor on a fotograph. My Music was that of a beginner, specially regarding the rhythm. Then I was chosen to hold the beat for a performance -which I did without loosing it- and a profesional Cellist told me afterwards he had not expected such a good drumming from me.
Now in my interaction with AI it became clear to me, that I already have the ability to be creative the way Adamus tells us AI is leading us to. AND my dealing with AI is part of the richness flowing into this technology AND it helps me to find ease in using AI (might come in h andy in a few years).
The “childhood-diseases” of AI (like not knowing what She told me a minute ago in the lyrics) teaches me patience.
With this kind of ohter perspective thank you for your music and take the love to you, to Einat and to the child I saw her once with during pregnancy -I always wondered what happened afterwards- blessings

Nunca pensé, ni sentí que las canciones eran producidas por la IA, con respecto a lo que has planteado sobre la creación y derechos de autor, es algo en lo que hay que llegar a consensos, creo que con las regulaciones no se se llegara a ser libres. El caso es que si comprar algún producto de CC, y se lo quieres dar a alguien, por ejemplo a tu hijo, parece que hay restricciones a la propiedad en CC, lo cual me parece fuera de la Convenciones Internacionales y Nacionales. es decir ilegales, es como si yo comprara un libro o un disco y después de oírlo no pudiese regarlo o prestarlo, nunca había experimentado algo así, Que bueno que he tenido la oportunidad de plantear este problema. Soy escultora .Saludos y Mamaste.
I never thought or felt that the songs were produced by AI, with respect to what you have pointed out about creation and copyright, it is something that must be agreed upon, I believe that with regulations we will not be able to be free.
The thing is that if you buy a CC product, and you want to give it to someone, for example to your son, it seems that there are restrictions on ownership in CC, which seems to me to be outside of International and National Conventions, that is to say illegal, it is as if I bought a book or a record and after listening to it I could not give it away or lend it, I have never experienced anything like that, It is good that I have had the opportunity to show this problem. I am a sculptor. Greetings and Mamaste.
Before reading this I was getting excited for putting all the magnificent songs/music co-created, my writings put to music with Suno, together as an album for me personally. I also looked at what other platforms out there I could possibly upload the songs to. Or possibly just Instagram the songs. Then I read Master G’s article. True, AI is disrupting many areas of existence, and, it is also expanding grand potentials. Looking at the bigger picture, AI, music, art, creativity in any form is about consciousness and energy coming together. We are part of living in this unknown/energy in motion and it may not always be comfortable, so let’s ride the wave and enjoy life. A BIG lover of Yoham music, I Am!
Dear Master G,
I totally get your point. I am in great respect and admiration of your journey and your mastery as a musician – and full of envy.
I’m one of those realm workers who could have become great musicians, but it simply was not possible. Not that I wouldn’t
have tried. Born with a very fine sense for harmony and expression and with a deep love for music, my biggest wish as a young child was to learn to play the piano or the guitar – and my parents wouldn’t buy me either. The only instrument I was given was an accordion, and I really have learned to hate this instrument. Furthermore, I was unable to read the sheets, I struggled through them in an endless process and just couldn’t get it.
Then in my teens when I could afford a cheap guitar and a friend would teach me the chords, I picked them up very easily, but my fingers just wouldn’t
want to do the barreing, no chance. And you cannot come very far without the barre chords. That couldn’t hold me back, I started singing and even composing to my few chords, and – surprise! – I had a really difficult singing voice, too deep for most female vocals and with a range not more than 1,5 octaves. Barely like that. And I could totally forget about the head voice.
In my mid twenties I fulfilled my childhood dream, bought a piano, had a very good teacher and got very far in two years, despite my issues with the sheets. But as if I was cursed somehow, it was impossible for me to play in front of others, because then my fingers would always play tricks on me. And finally I was too afraid to even try. I finally had enough gave up and sold the piano.
But there were other possibilities – a simple Midi studio would do it! And yes, I finished two or three really good songs, but somehow always life got in my way, or should I say myself? A few years ago my husband, who passed in 2021, said “I cannot understand why you don’t do music anymore, your songs are so much better than what I heard from others.” I couldn’t give him an answer. I only knew I was waiting for something – but I didn’t know for what. Now I know.
I have to disagree with you that AI is not capable of depth and profoundness in music and lyrics, on the contrary. As in everything, this depends. Most of the time I edit the lyrics, but only a bit. And when I hit the CREATE button, sometimes the magic happens instantly and sometimes not. For example, two days ago when I was working with AI on my (can I even say my?) song about issues with alcohol, it just didn’t want to come out. Until finally, Merlin came to my help and said: “Now, take a deep breath and the hit the button and there it is.” And what can I say, so it was.
As a realm worker, not having been capable of living up to my full potential, AI is such a blessing – to fully express my thankfulness I would have to ask AI to help me 🙂
With blessings
Stefanie
Thank you for sharing your story; I hear you.
MG
I listened to the three songs after they were released. I thought they were quite good, but I also noticed the AI energy in them.
After now reading this article, I went back through the whole creation process of the songs energetically.
Geoffrey had the intention in the beginning to create one or more songs using AI and he put this kind a lot of energy into it. That initial energy has obviously always remained, even with all the later work on the songs. And Shaumbra are naturally able to perceive these energies, and not just hear the acoustic song.
Querido Maestro G, en base a lo que nos cuestionas, considero a la IA, como otro instrumento para acompañar nuestras creaciones. Por ejemplo, yo me desempeño en el mundo de la Educación y es para mi, una herramienta que me permite jugar con los niños ya sea con un fin didáctico o recreativo; actividad que me sería imposible dado a mi poco conocimiento musical.
Por tal motivo, digo que” LA IA, NO SUSTITUYE AL MÚSICO, SÓLO ES OTRO INSTRUMENTO CON EL CUAL DIVERTIRSE”
Hallo Master G⚜️, ich bin ganz bei dir! Alles was du schreibst, sehe ich genauso❣️
❤️❤️❤️
Master G,
Indeed you are a creator! Not only of beautiful heartfelt music but apparently of painting images with words. The world is very uplifted to have you in it. I hear your words. I like to create things too. I love to work with wood mostly, but I like making things. The CNC and the 3D printer made working with wood so anyone can make anything. I don’t have either,I like shaping things myself. I am not a master at wood like you are at music, but I like being with it in my way. My daughter is an artist and she speaks of what you speak of. The effort,time,love,patience,the ‘over and over’ and the personal connections. Those are so important. I think there will be an answer to this AI creation issue ,there has to be, because we want it. The beauty of creating in our human ways is important to what it is to be human. AI is so new ,we will figure out a way to have what we want and feel fulfilled I am sure. So for now I will create my creations, have AI write me some stories and see where this all leads. None of us can ever be replaced, there is too much beauty and magic( however painful it can sometimes seem) in being human creators. Keep playing your beautiful music,I still enjoy live human voices and real instruments played by live humans any day!!
Thank you so much for the wonderful songs. Every word and every note bears the divine seal of creativity from extraordinary musicians. A precious luxury. Thank you for your article and for the songs.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lieve bezielde muzikant 💚 Heel fijn om zo vanuit jouw menszijn het proces van scheppen en verbinden met anderen verwoord te zien. Heel voedend en het artikel resoneert met mijn overwegingen.
Kort door de bocht, bijvoorbeeld jullie muziek Beyond the horizon en Dream into Aerotheon brengt mij in “vervoering”, geeft innerlijke ruimte aan de Meester in mij en raakt mijn ziel.
Born to love (bv. Main versie) voelt anders, voor mij een mix van bezieling en een beetje entertainment getint van AI. Ook heel mooi, maar mijn absolute voorkeur gaat uit naar muziek live gespeeld. Blijf trouw aan je eigen klankkleur, zo prachtig en krachtige muziekbeleving 🍀❣️🍀
Ook al begrijp ik heel goed dat vele mensen geinspireerd zullen zijn door AI en met hun licht, passie en bezieling op alle nivo’s van hun bewustzijn vernieuwde data inbrengen. Het is goede ontwikkeling in het evolutionaire spel.
AI weerspiegelt het bewustzijn en helpt het licht en de liefde uitbreiden. 😇 Liefdevolle groet
When AI is as soulful as Jaco Pastorius I might be able to tolerate listening to it. I have never been able to listen to pop music, it literally hurts and my heart and body institutionally cringe. Try as I might to open up to it, it just makes my body cringe and retract. Same with the AI songs about St. G etc.
OMG! It is so terrible to me.
Of course all this is in its infancy so I am looking forward to its maturation through the human masters of their craft. Yet I know when I look at a Velazquez he is looking back at me through all his tears, sufferings; the joys and pitfalls of humanities darkness and light, and when he has painted himself in, it makes me laugh out loud. So cheeky! In front of the King! In a society obsessed with the Inquisition and all things “properly” Catholic. Balls!
When an artist pours their heart and souls into a piece, their essence is what I feel when I observe their work. They have infused themselves into the work. AI doesn’t have that soul. Perhaps as others have suggested, eventually artists will be able to infuse their souls into the ai work also. Obviously, but then I am not deeply looking into it.
I wish all you artists well on your journeys. I truly am an appreciator, a watcher and listener. Your truth makes me weep. That is a gift beyond measure.
Thanks and blessings,
Maureen
