Beats, Bytes & The Future Sound: AI Meets Electronic Music

Electronic music has always been about pushing boundaries, breaking rules, and bending sound into new dimensions. Now, artificial intelligence is stepping into the booth, reshaping how beats are built, melodies emerge, and tracks come to life. This isn’t about robots replacing producers—it’s about a new creative partnership, where human intuition meets machine-driven possibilities.The Evolution…

NICKELODEON/BACKYARDIGANS OFFICIAL HIRE ME I CAN HELP YOU!!!!

[squarebracket-trickster]

You've heard of using AI to write a novel. Now, get ready for the (infintely better) sequel: using a human to write an AI!

Join me in a hell of my own making, where I intentionally try to write sentences that sound like they were pasted straight from ChatGPT.

Why am I doing this? Because I hate myself. Why not just use ChatGPT to write the AI parts? Because I respect myself. The machines are not better than me! I can do everything ChatGPT can do, even sound like ChatGPT. It wants to take my job. I'll take its first!

Finding My Flame (v2)[Into The Void]

Transmission I.II

Ashes. Fire. Repeat.

Some stories can’t be effectively delivered in words. They burn in fragments, glitch in memory, and spiral toward rebirth.

I honestly didn’t plan to reveal this much. But the story revealed itself organically during the footage generation phase. No other visual thread felt right. This song almost insisted on being bound to me personally.

This is a story told in fragments: memory, trauma, fire, silence, and rebirth. From hospital beds to classrooms, from hands behind bars to hands reaching toward sky —Finding My Flame (v2) resounds with some of the most significant echoes of the real me.

🎬 Full video: Finding My Flame (v2)

The full clear signal is now active on Spotify.

Also available on Apple Music.

Heeey!!! May I ask you to draw Benrey and Gordon swap au? :P

(Or something like that lol)

had way too much fun with the idea. since i am a 'benrey is barney but possessed/overtaken by an alien parasite' truther i like to imagine that in the swap au gordon accidentally fucking. touched the aliens shattered petri dish in an experiment gone wrong and Oops! All parasite . don't ask why a theoretical physicist was handling biohazards ok I'm not That smart .

anyways this sadly means that in this au benrey is just. plain old barney from black mesa. buti still like to think that gordon calls him benrey just to piss him off (he still can't pronounce barney properly and he's too ashamed to fess up to it. still a nerd loser)

Petition to Ban Generative AI

For citizens of the United Kingdom (Scotland, Wales, England, and Northern Ireland)

I've created a petition to the UK Government to place a Ban on Generative AI and review how to best regulate other AI/Machine Learning tools. Generative AI is being used to steal from artists hard work and is proving to be horrible for our environment.

While it may seem hopeless to stop this rise of Generative AI, it isn't! I was surprised to see that there weren't already pre-existing petitions for this, so I made one myself. I know it's a long way to go to stop Generative AI and protect our planet, but it's a start!

If you're seeing this and you're a British/UK citizen, you can sign this!

Remembering actress/dancer/singer ANN PENNINGTON (1893-1971)…

When she was young, the diminutive Pennington - 4’ 10” tall - started out as a dancer, appearing on Broadway. Her stature, plus her long red hair, made her stand out. She famously appeared in the following revues:

Ziegfeld Follies of 1913 (Jun 16, 1913 - Sep 06, 1913); Ziegfeld Follies of 1914 (Jun 01, 1914 - Sep 05, 1914); Ziegfeld Follies of 1915 (Jun 21, 1915 - Sep 18, 1915); Ziegfeld Follies of 1916 (Jun 12, 1916 - Sep 16, 1916); Miss 1917 (Nov 05, 1917 - Jan 05, 1918); Ziegfeld Follies of 1918 (Jun 18, 1918 - Closing date unknown); George White’s Scandals of 1919 (Jun 02, 1919 - Oct 11, 1919);George White’s Scandals of 1920 (Jun 07, 1920 - Oct 02, 1920); George White's Scandals 1921 (Jul 11, 1921 - Oct 01, 1921); Jack and Jill (Mar 22, 1923 - Jun 09, 1923); Ziegfeld Follies of 1923 [Summer Edition] (Jun 25, 1923 - Sep 15, 1923); Ziegfeld Follies of 1924 (Jun 24, 1924 - Mar 07, 1925); George White's Scandals [1926] (Jun 14, 1926 - Jun 18, 1927); George White's Scandals [1928] (Jul 02, 1928 - Jan 19, 1929); The New Yorkers (Dec 08. 1930 - May 02. 1931); Everybody's Welcome (Oct 13, 1931 - Feb 13, 1932) and The Student Prince Jun 08, 1943 - Oct 02, 1943).

Ann Pennington’s success came from her introduction of the Black Bottom dance, a shimmy-style dance first created by African-American dancers in New Orleans during the late-1800s. It became so popular, it overtook the Charleston. What wasn’t commonly known at the time, was that the dance was first featured in the Harlem show “Dinah” in 1924, and was then appropriated by Pennington and her partner Tom Patricola in the musical comedy revue ‘George White's Scandals of 1926’ on Broadway. Pennington appeared in a number of films, both silent and talkies. Her fame waned in the 1950s, and she lived out her days alone, destitute, in a NYC hotel room. She never married and had no children. Pennington died of a stroke in 1971 at age 77. A few years before her death, she was asked what had been the greatest reward from her years of stardom, and her reply was: “…in living, honey".

dont like that bunby ad. reaaaaally dont like that bunny plushie ad.

[astranauticus]

the rwd season 4 qna inspired me to start thinking about college au headcanons except a lot of these are gonna be really specific to my school and y'all are just gonna have to deal with that <3

Kyana feeds some of the school cats. she would feed all of them if she could

Dani smuggled Plug (the scrawniest black cat you've ever seen) into her dorm room illegally and somehow management hasn't caught her yet (based on a true story) (Kyana visits to see Plug all the time)

Finbar keeps an updated tier list of every canteen in the school with breakdowns of the best stalls/dishes for each

A senior from the school of engineering once said to me 'all the engineering people dress like rats cuz our classrooms don't have aircon' (context: tropics) anyway that's Dani

Kyana would probably be involved in a lot of freshman orientation events from second year onwards. she just likes talking to the new kids and giving them advice like she would be the kind of orientation group leader who'd get messages from her freshies asking about all kinds of random nonsense because she's made sure they know they can always contact her with questions

VR-LA is The Guy you go to for textbook pirating resources

(this is more of a 'wouldn't that be funny' but VR-LA is just Veerle's discord handle)

Docent is the name of VR-LA's old laptop that broke down so he gave it to Cassimere (computer engineering major he met once at a networking event) to fix except Cassimere got everything off the hard drive and then somehow managed to fuck it up Even More so he had to get a new laptop (and named it Emi)

Roy has gotten food poisoning from his dorm meal plan at least once (based on at least one true story)

The heap trio + Mandy would be those friends constantly playing majong in the dorm lounge and if all the majong tables are taken they just play in one of their dorm rooms on a towel to dampen the tile shuffling noises (it was Mandy's idea)

Every morning Dani goes to the drinks stall at her faculty and orders one iced coffee to the point where the stall owner starts preparing an iced coffee whenever they see her approach (based on my true story)

Roy would be one of those people who goes clubbing every other week and every time he tries to drag the rest of the heap trio and Egan almost always goes and Dani would go if she didn't have a good excuse but always begrudgingly. anyway Roy would always be the only one having a good time until Egan gets drunk enough to start having fun

Finbar actually uses the dorm kitchens instead of just buying canteen food and it always makes the hallways smell really good

Vhas also uses the dorm kitchen sometimes but like. one time i walked into the pantry on my floor and someone had left cut sweet potatoes and 2 eggs in an inch of water in a pan on the stove. that's Vhas

Kyana's constantly applying for overseas exchanges and international summer/winter school programmes. the world is large and she wants to see it!

Maxim's the definition of a hall phantom. you know he lives on your dorm floor because you pass him by in the hallways sometimes and literally nowhere else. sometimes you're not convinced that he actually exists

VR-LA and Maxim's friendship stems from them being from wildly different faculties (VR-LA's in STEM, Maxim's doing anthropology so arts/social sciences) but also having lots of weird interests they cant really bug anyone in their home faculties about

Elyse is in student government and every once in a while Finbar receives a series of angry texts about the newest idiocy she's had to put up with

MR-SN and AS-TR start a stargazing club together. other notable members include AS-TR's girlfriend E-DN, MR-SN's friend C-RA (the one who always volunteers to carry the heavy ass telescopes) and MR-SN's friend K-LB who he pestered into coming to fix one of the wonky scopes even though K-LB's actually in electrical engineering but he's the only engineering person MR-SN (an arts student) knows

oh and of course VR-LA joins because he genuinely just likes space (developing a crush on his club chairperson was not on his bingo card)

Kyana and E-DN were MMA sparring buddies at one point which is how she found out about the stargazing and joined immediately

honestly i can probably think of more but this post is fuckin long LMAO

I translated "Conspiracist" by R Sound Design!! (Ci Flower MASTERPIECE Album)

(CW: Flashing Lights in the MV)

Translated Lyrics:

Hello everyone, Attention! The practical composite is At all times, the worst possible uncomplicated Rigged Game Now everyone, imagine! Every single fad is Is pre-constructed far beneath the tip of the iceberg Now everyone, what's wrong? Will anyone remember the absolute God In 3 or 10 years? Alright everyone, repeat after me! The practical composite has Always been the most simple shit

I want to steel myself from behind and get wrapped up in lengthy things A lion's share of power¹ tastes like sweet nectar (roar!) Look Having a bad trip and getting wrapped up in forgeries In the end, I couldn't say the things I wanted to

Resound! With a pa-pa-paa-ra, if you dance till the break of dawn Pa-pa-paa-ra, you'll turn to nothing! The step you hate, Trample it more and more! (more!) Until it feels good! With a pa-pa-paa-ra, keep on dancing Pa-pa-paa-ra, until your brain turns to mush! (I don't wanna be a conspiracist) Until it feels good! (Conspiracist)

The conspiracists are on their way again today Once again they drivel out their big talk Their numerals suffering from their shitty breath It's all a damn One Two Punch The conspiracists are on their way again today Wishing for potential as far as vast as the seven seas² I don't have the same shitty breath but I found myself dreaming at the eleventh hour

In reality, I want to steel myself from behind and get wrapped up in lengthy things I'm just a whisker away from my wits end (mwoor~)³ Ugh Get mad and forget about both heaven and hell I can't remember what I wanted to say

Shout! With a Pa-pa-paa-ra, if you sing to the break of dawn! Pa-pa-paa-ra, you'll turn to nothing! The phrases you hate (phrases!) Come, cry them out⁴ more and more (more!) Until it feels good With a pa-pa-paa-ra, keep on singing Pa-pa-paa-ra, until your voice becomes hoarse! (I don't wanna be a conspiracist) Until it feels good!

Resound With a pa-pa-paa-ra, if you dance till the break of dawn Pa-pa-paa-ra,, you'll turn to nothing! The step you hate, Trample it more and more! (more!) Until it feels good With a pa-pa-paa-ra, keep on dancing Pa-pa-paa-ra, until your brain turns to mush! (I don't wanna be a conspiracist) Until it feels good!

Hello everyone, Attention! The practical composite is At all times, the worst possible uncomplicated Rigged Game Alright everyone, repeat after me! The practical composite has Always been the most simple shit (Conspiracist)

Footnotes:

1- The original idiom here would be 虎の威を借る狐 (Tora no i wo karu kitsune), or literally, A Fox who borrows the power of a tiger. This means something like a weak person suddenly put into a position of power going on a power trip.

2- This idiom might literally translate to, "A fish in the ocean & above the seafloor", which implies a kind of potential without limits in the vastness of the sea.

3- The idiom used here literally means, "To be so busy you would accept a cat lending a hand", to keep the wordplay I tried to mix idioms like a whisker away & wits end.

4- 鳴いて (naite) as used here is typically used to describe animal cries, this relates to the various animal metaphors used throughout the song & their cries that occur in the background

Translator's Note:

a song from the CI Flower debut album! i agree with a lot of the complaints leveled at the voicebank, & i believe in vflower supremacy but honestly some of the songs on this compilation album really prove CI Flower is a good voicebank! she's weird as hell but i think when her voice is made to sound more vocaloid-like she stands on her own pretty well. they did take away her pronouns though which sucks kinda... it's a weird turn of musical direction for R Sound Design, though i suppose he's been more upbeat as of late, but i think it's a fun change of pace for him & i can't wait to hear more!

i love how much of a retro sound sv2 kiyoteru can have in his vocals. 20-something with the voice of a wizened old man type singer.

mascotless vocals lose something on an individual level but I think with a bunch of new mascots releasing soon(?) we'll be getting something back we were desperately missing when the majority of new vocals had no designs
