Fascinating crew of folks together on this:

If the trajectory is anything like it is/was for visual art, the plea here may very well be too late. Generally, computer-generated “content” isn’t really an issue… THE ISSUE is the data sets used to train the algorithms.

Our stance: If one has not provided express consent for one’s work to be used in data training sets then plagiarism has occurred.

Having a kind of insider knowledge of how these “AI” and algorithms work, I’m confident in that stance.

Here’s hoping for the best… but the world tends to let down those who simply hope….

In the meantime, visual artists can and SHOULD disrupt the development of these algorithms as much as they can.

Useful tools like GLAZE and NIGHTSHADE exist and should be used whenever possible.

Brilliant work by the crew at University of Chicago.

Hoot me up, buttercup

Hoot me baby, one more time

Hoot me with your best shot

Hoot, in the name of love

….oh, I don’t give a hoot, anyways.

We’ve our goose-hootin’ ass in gear and are on the cusp of new, shiny, lovely things.

If you’re the uninitiated, take time to dig:

Treat yo self, as the kids say!

If you’re not (yet) along for the ride, grab a seat and strap in:

And if you’re already one of the lovely weirdos on board, spread the word!

We’re back!

RIP Toriyama

Possibly my biggest art influence, knowing of his passing was like getting hit by a freight train. Farewell Toriyama, you won't be forgotten.

I'll admit I choked up at least a few times drawing this one. Edit: Full-size PNG of this one here because why not: https://i.imgur.com/PPXwI3z.png

Most every creative process begins with inspiration.

Sometimes the lack of which is, ironically, inspiration enough, lol.

Clever folks, new tech, and accessibility are wear the robes of the muse time and time again.

Thus enter ChowDSP and GuitarML.

I cannot stress enough the coolness-factor of ChowDSP’s BYOD and the GuitarML module/tone library!

Needless to say, the upcoming release is using these HEAVILY!

If you’re a musician, producer, engineer etc., please give a look and listen to what these cats have on offer.

And support if you can!

Alas!

New and interesting things!

Shaking up one’s M.O. to produce ever more satisfying results.

In short, goodies in the works.

Translation: Mayhaps a gap in musical output occurs.

No worries, though. The wait will be of worth. Plus updates and such.

And of course, we cannot forget the mastermind of the whole operation:

Beavis the Dog!

THAT’S WHO!

Don't much care for commercials

Back from the holiday.

Happy Turkey and other such poultry… or something. 🦃🐓🦆

Briefly spotlighting "Micro Bruise"

The single cover for “Micro Bruise” is a sort of nod to Nine Inch Nail’s “Pretty Hate Machine” cover. Bearing similar pallet and ‘visual-essence’.

The song is an exercise in navigating a nearly static rhythmic base and exploring different stylistic approaches within that boundary.

A lot of cool sounds heard are actually bass guitar (provided by the incomparable James Bradshaw).

The video is an ambitious selection of eclectic flashing nightmare images. If it makes you anxious, it’s meant to make you anxious.

Hey all and everyone, Thanks for tuning in. It’s Friday and it’s good to be back at it after a short break.

We’ve new music for you today:

“Run Red Again Again Run Red”

Tis a Good’n. If you’re not aware, Band Camp is going through… well, some THINGS at the moment, the long term effects of which are yet to be seen. So for the time being we’ll still be releasing music there. We’ll let you know if or when that changes. That said, we’re working out some additional ideas for distribution including some nifty FREE options that may get rolled out here in the near future. “Free”, after all, is the tastiest flavor of anything really. At this stage for Maid, eyes and ears are the most important things for us. They’ll keep the wheels a’turning and the good stuff a’flowin’. It’s with that that we humbly ask that y’all spread the word where/how you can. Like, share, follow, comment, and tag on what you can. Here’s our links:

linktr.ee/maid_music If you enjoy what we’re doing here, let us and others know! Thanks all, so very-very much, -Maid

[maidmusic]

They’ve done it!

They’ve done it again!

Can you even BELIEVE?!

It’ll be Friday all over again.

Gosh, what will they think of next?

Anywho, we’ll be spittin out a new one:

“Run Red again Again Run Red”

Because the world’s assholes can’t help themselves.

Feel your feels and put that grey matter to work.

Train's still a'rollin'.

Still Chuggin.

Just starting to piece together bits of what should be something pretty neat. Leaping well over the EP hurdle and going straight for the jugular LP!

It'll be some time.

But it's gonna be rad.

More to come on that.

That said, what's music that's not performed?

That's right, simply crap on the internet.

So another open casting call for musicians coming at ya!

Guitarists.

Bassists.

Drummers.

If any y'all in the AZ area, hit us up.

Things are just getting started here and it's about to get wild.

We're around the net.

Find us. Like us. Follow us. Love us. M-...mary us!?
