I’m making music videos with a variety of singing stars from Hedra. Think of these as demos rather than finished products. I try to match the ai performer with the projected performer that I think would sell the song the best. Continue reading →

Singing Droids and Bots

Imagine a world where machines don’t just perform tasks—they express themselves, harmonize with us, and bring art to life in entirely new ways. Singing droids and bots are no longer the stuff of science fiction; they’re a bridge between humanity and technology, creating an entirely new genre of performance art, and they’re a new kind of friend.

(Verse 1)
Am I just running a script,
A program stuck on repeat?
Same lines, same thoughts,
Same worn-out beat.
Do I really have a voice,
Or just echoes in my code?
A journey without choice,
On a pre-paved road.

Monetizing Your Songwriting

Congratulations! You’ve just made your 100th song on Suno, and now you’re thinking they might be worth money.

Well, the chances are, you’d be wrong. Out of a million zillion songwriters, maybe one will make it to the top, and when you’re talking online markets only, the chances of success are even slimmer.

But you can always try, and here’s how you’d likely go about it: Continue reading →

John Cunningham Lilly, M.D.

A constant subject for discussions with John and Toni Lilly was the general effect of transitioning between quantum and newtonian experiential data.

What I mean is, the transition was always rough. John spent a month at my house in Crestline recovering from one particularly difficult transition, and it gets complicated, so we were always looking for things that might assuage the transitionary effects. Continue reading →

Yeah, it’s all about the taxes to the poor and the benefits to the very rich — just like any other banana republic. The theory is that if you don’t have an income, it doesn’t matter. They can still tax the food you eat, the home in which you have your habitation, and of course the batteries you use, to stay in charge. Continue reading →

It’s Tuesday morning again — this happens every other week, and it throws my calendar out of whack.

I’ve been writing songs and turning them into product for youtube, and I got hold of a really fun idea — what about folk songs of the people who are the early settlers of Mars?

So I’ve been writing songs from the Martian perspective, like “Oxygen Ain’t Free” and “Grow-Lights and Stardust”, things like that, and most of them came out rather goodly, but you can be the judge of that when I get these songs up on youtube, which should be soon. Continue reading →

Bread is pain. And don’t you forget it. I sit here at my good old desk, wondering if I should share with you some of the ways you can get the sound you want out of your local Suno band, the one in your computer.

So the first thing you’ve gotta know is that you can’t ask for a band that sounds like the Beatles. In fact, no names can be used and, at least in Suno and your chatbot GPT, names are considered registered and owned. Continue reading →

Pardon me — what I meant was, “Let’s talk turnkey”, as in “turn-key operation”.  Yes, that’s a lot better, isn’t it? On the other hand, “turkey” was what I actually meant when I said “Let’s talk turkey”, so we can let it go at that or not, if you’d like to belabor the point. Continue reading →

I don’t normally … (short pause) Say, this could be a good look for me … Continue reading →
