Heavystoned and AI

Is AI art or anarchism or an alibi for the artless?

The picture shows my main personalities; Ripsi Rebellion, with the Punk in his head who adores no gods, no masters, heavystoned, the writer with his special meanings about music business as a form of medieval feudal labor, Nocebo, the one-man-band-project who did quite different styles of music and Egonomic, the AI-project, who first did some Melodic Death Metal. As Nocebo, I could do some instrumental stoner, Etruscan music, Café del Mar and some Postrock with my limited musical skills. I have more ideas than skills. So I decided to try the AI, which turned out to be a dice game. 1/10 songs were accurate.

So the Punk was happy, the musician was astonished and the writer criticized the unsatisfactory production. In fact, it felt like something is missing like the missing quarter of a Pizza. It was not you who created art, it was a machine with a huge databank. But as a musician you also create music or art with all your experiences.

In my case, it means all the music I consumed since more than 50 years. And you need some persons who understand your prompts in a band, otherwise there will be no art or music.

Nocebo and Egonomic will never perform live on stage so for me, with a lack of narcism, I don´t  miss the stage feeling I had with my former bands and as a teacher. And how could it be, that an AI-created song  - with my lyrics about my beloved wife and or life - made me cry? It´s the music that counts.

Ripsi Rebellion isn´t a fan of "The journey is the destination", he prefers the destination, so all my personalities are happy with.

The result is: the musician with limited skills, the punk, heavystoned as the curious child are happy with AI. AI is a tool that not only makes the creation of lyrics easier, it also creates a good framework for the upcoming work of art. 

AI expands your personality because it has stored other experiences and so far has its limitations in its experiences.

Actually, the point would be to be satisfied. If you use AI, you´re waiting for your expectations and your patterns, which you implant yourself in your brain for the past 50 years. AI-generated music cannot be really new, since the AI, as well as all search engines, are filled with human experiences and knowledge. In this respect, you are waiting for your own patterns and not really new. Similar to the "Angelus Novus" below, painted by Paul Klee in 1920, in retrospect, we use the past in our creativity and characterize it as something new. "Angelus Novus" is progressing and at the same time looking back towards the past.



AI versus Heavystoned

AI vs HS means to compare a review, done by myself as heavystoned, with an ai generated review. 

I had to use several steps. The first one was to choose a quite complex song upon I wrote already a short review for the daily peak at 12-26-2023. My choice was the song "Collision" by the Italian band "Mr. Bison", which you can read below. 

Mr. Bison (IT) - Collision

Mr. Bison managed a balancing act between a medieval guitar riff which sounds like an Americana band in the first minute. After that first minute there are two Jon Andersons singing in a twin harmonic vocal line along a syncopic drumming. Then they put a couple of guitar layers over the two vocal lines. 3 minutes gone, mouth and eyes wide open, what a masterpiece of a song.

After that I looked for an ai which is able to analyze music and I found CYANITE.

After creating an account I uploaded the song and let CYANITE analyze this song. I took some screenshots to save the results. Actually, it´s only statistics which reflects some patterns which I (and we) also have in my/our brain after listening to music for around 50 years.

The header to this song: Duration, BPM, Key, and the first characteristics of the song.



The mood of the song is that what causes thinking about the alluding of the song. That means, which pattern or band or style gives an answer to the resonance of this song. The ai obviously recognize that this song doesn´t contain any parts of Slayer (aggressive), My Sleeping Karma (chill and calm) Joy Division or The Sisters of Mercy (dark). With these parameters I created a prompt to write a review about this song. The main thing which is missed in this analysis is the voice, so the servant in my musical library found out, that the voice sounds similar to Jon Anderson´s voice.

The next step was to write the prompts.

first prompt

Create A Record Review about a song that consists of 48% Rock and 35% Pop; featuring the Following Moods: 75% energetic, 65% uplifting, 47% happy, 14% chill, 15% calm, 28% aggressive; an Energy Level of 60%, and the singer is  singing like Jon Anderson from Yes. The song is called "Collision" from the band "Mr. Bison".

Mr. Bison presents "Collision," a musical journey blurring the lines between rock and pop, crafting an energetic oasis of joy. Combining the best of both genres, this collaboration creates a catchy melody that invites listeners to sing and dance along. Opening with powerful guitar riffs, reminiscent of Jon Anderson from Yes, the song immediately captures the energy of rock, pulling listeners into a whirlwind of melody and rhythm. The singer's clear and powerful vocals add authenticity and passion to the track, leading the audience through emotional highs and lows.

With an energy level of 60%, "Collision" by Mr. Bison exudes an infectious enthusiasm and optimism, enhanced by its uplifting and happy mood. While predominantly energetic and euphoric, the song also offers moments of calm and tranquility, providing a brief respite amidst the musical frenzy.

Incorporating both rock and pop elements, "Collision" is dynamic and multifaceted, appealing to a wide audience. The powerful guitar riffs and driving drums infuse the song with a rock edge, while its catchy melody and infectious choruses make it a true pop anthem.

Overall, "Collision" by Mr. Bison is an exhilarating song that seamlessly blends rock and pop. With its energetic atmosphere, euphoric mood, and diverse instrumentation, this track takes listeners on an unforgettable musical journey.

Title: "Darkened Fury" by Infernal Eclipse (as I mentioned the title, ai knew "Reign in Blood" and the review changed a bit); Slayer is called "Infernal Eclipse"

 

Infernal Eclipse unleashes their latest track, "Darkened Fury," a relentless onslaught of metal that delves deep into the realms of death and black metal. With a composition comprising 84% metal, predominantly characterized by the subgenres of death metal (26%) and black metal (45%), this song is a harrowing journey through the darkest recesses of the human psyche. "Darkened Fury" emanates an overwhelming aura of aggression, with an intensity that pierces through the soul. Clocking in at 82% aggressive, the song grabs listeners by the throat from the very first note and refuses to let go. Each riff and drumbeat is delivered with unbridled ferocity, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

The energy of "Darkened Fury" is palpable, with a relentless momentum that propels the song forward. At 78% energetic, the track pulses with raw power, driving listeners into a frenzy of headbanging and moshing. It's a relentless assault on the senses, demanding complete surrender to its unyielding force.

Despite its aggressive nature, "Darkened Fury" also possesses a dark and foreboding atmosphere, with shades of melancholy creeping through the chaos. At 45%, the darkness envelops the listener, casting a shadow over the relentless onslaught of sound. Yet, amidst the darkness, there are fleeting moments of uplift, albeit sparse at 20%, offering a glimmer of hope in the abyss.

Emotionally and energetically dynamic, "Darkened Fury" maintains a high level of intensity throughout its duration. The emotional depth of the song is palpable, evoking a range of visceral reactions from the listener. It's an immersive experience that leaves a lasting impression long after the final chord has faded.

In conclusion, "Darkened Fury" by Infernal Eclipse is a relentless sonic assault that pushes the boundaries of metal to its darkest depths. With its blend of death and black metal elements, coupled with its intense aggression and raw energy, this track is a testament to the band's uncompromising vision and unyielding passion for their craft. Brace yourselves, for the fury has been unleashed.
