Liner Notes

#electronic #synth #synthpop #vocoder I had a surprise day off of work today because of the weather, so I was really ready to dig into some things that I haven't used enough....Well, I kind of have, but I haven't felt satisfied yet. So, I got all synthy today. It started out as a Drumbrute Impact beat that I put together while I learned how to do it again! Well, from there I decided that I would sync that to a synth, so I did that with my MicroFreak. I did a bunch of layers on that and then decided that I hadn't used my Dreadbox Typhon enough, so I used that next. I hadn't touched the MicroKorg yet this FAWM, so I used that. Finally, I hadn't used any vocoder yet, which I really had in my mind to do this year, so I used my MicroFreak again for that. It turned out pretty cool and it got me to sing....Well, I'm not sure if that counts. FOR THE RECORD, I tried to just speak into the microphone and play the notes, but I needed to sing it to get it right, even though I was making the melody with the keys.

People can do whatever they want to and I won't bat an eye. I use AI for simple tasks that are time consuming--those kinds of things that I CAN do but would rather spend my time doing other things. However, as far as with creativity--I really cannot. I haven’t found a way to use AI for creating in a way that is still me-and may never. I do use synths though! Haha. For me, creativity is what sets us apart. It makes us human and also is a huge part of not only enjoying the human experience, but also helps us to process it. Hence the title…enjoy!

Lyrics

I am, like you, a real person No ones and zeros in any version

It's my aversion

Creation, at its core, Is what makes us human

In spite of all the going trends I won't just give in

I am, like you, a real person Creation, at its core, Is what makes us human

It makes us human

Intriguing, beguiling and thoroughly enjoyable melody and production. Love it!

What a beautiful sonic collage and the vocorder is just perfect on top of it all. The synths are so sparkley and lovely. It is just a wonderful musical space. Awesome lyric and the message comes through clearly. What a great use of the time off!

Whoa, very synthy, spacey in the machine. I imagine a sad singing robot wishing it was human. Always tough to know where the line lies; I try to leave it as "if using AI as a tool, okay, if substituting for creativity, less so. Cool melody, and the vibrato in the synth vox is really fun. Evokes a bit of an Axiom Verge vibe, if you've played either of those games.

This is a cool song and well done. The vibe is very enjoyable and the vocoder adds great effect considering the context of the lyrics. Definitely glad I listened...

Oh, man, I love this. After reading your notes, I kind of heard the song from the perspective of an ai becoming sentient and believing itself to be human and I just love the irony of that thought. Really well done and now I want to play with my Drumbrute Impact!

Nice! It's got that laid-back chill of a snow day. As a technology/instrument for disguising your voice, I find vocoder endearingly unconvincing

Great use of a surprise day off. I like the vocal slides and jumps in the vocal. Kraftwerk would be proud.

100 percent behind the message! Enjoyable little tune, and I appreciate you taking us through your process. I'm always a fan of learning how others create music.
