Hello Paul
All these means of our times are an open window to creativity of any kind. Some years ago we would only dream for them I guess this is the way it goes, we dream then we conquer, and life goes on.
I am really glad that you felt it was brought to life in a lovely way, it means so much to me
Best regards, Anthony
Hello
It is really good to feel it has a positive impact to you BeatMaker4real. It is of course one of the purposes and reasons of my poems.
I feel so good.
Best regards, Anthony
Such a vivid and moving piece, Anthony. This piece is beautifully immersive-haunting, yet full of depth and quiet strength. The Stone and the Wind feels ancient and alive at the same time. Grateful you shared this journey with us
Hello my friend
I so much liked that it felt like ancient and alive at the same time to you. I think this form of duality is all over this poem. I am not that good in English but I've had a serious help and I am pleased it reached you in a way to feel depth and this quiet strength. The day I wrote the poem I guess I must have been in a very good inner state. I will try to make some more musical presentations of poetry as long as I feel that the rendering into English is succesful which of course I have no reason to doubt.
Many thanks Richard, I know you listen with your heart and mind, and this is really wanted and welcomed.
Best regards, Anthony
Hello dearest Kay
My bad not to explain that my reading is in my native language, which is Greek. I am happy though you found these characteristics even if you could not understand the actual meaning of it. Of course the English version followed and this I'd like to believe has been helpful.
For the music I followed some advice from chat GPT. No it won't give you the music itself (at least the freeware version) but for example suggested the A minor or the D minor as the basic chords for the harmony of the music, or it wanted the piano not to play chords, just single notes. Of course it suggested the dictation of Greek and English to be alternate, well things we all might have thought, but it is a great highly intellectual company.
Best regards, Anthony
Hello Glenn
I enjoyed the reading too, and I enjoyed the way AI handled the female voice for the reading of the English text. It was the first one. I only wish I will make some more, with a better recording from my side and possibly more adequate music background.
Best regards, Anthony
Really pleasant listen. It have cinematic vibe to it.
For sure it is something different and i'm glad we have such a diversity
here in LM community.
Good job Anthony.
Cheers!
Hello Dan
I am really thrilled to see so many good vibes by the LM community on this one.
Thank you Dan for your kind words, always appreciated.
Best regards, Anthony
nice title and great spoken vocals, lovely Anthony,
its great poetry, to music and its also something different it was a pleasant listen, i thought your music hugged the vocal the keys are so soft and delicate and the beautiful crystals singing in the background add the sparkle to a well thought out piece, well done my friend the production is spot on too, nice job that was a pleasant 2.30 mins
Hello Paul
I am really glad you liked it. I have not written a poem for many years. This one comes from 2018 I think. I came across chat GPT, (a bit late?) and it was a real question the way it should react to these poems of mine. I was stunned, the analysis was amazing and the understanding is so realistic and advanced. Obviously there are no feelings, but the use of the appropriate words create to the human such a feeling. It is highly trained, it is very calm and gentle, and has infinite patience. I only use the freeware version so I cannot tell anything for the more advanced models used for the paid versions. It really rendered my poem to a poem in English and it guided me to the right site for the English version of the poem to be spoken by an AI voice. I then worked on the surrounding music and the effects. It did have beautiful ideas about that too.
It is something I never had thought to make and I do like it a lot.
My best regards, Anthony
Thank you for your kind words. There is a plethora of interesting and capable AI-powered software, you can always search the internet, you won't miss it. You will judge depending on many things I suppose, one of which is what's your needs, or how much can you afford.
Just search.
Best regards, Anthony
Hello AnthonyAttard, I think your efforts are good and commendable given the newness of AI and what is known and not known when combining voices and such....its way beyond me at this point but to have someone to actually put it together and in itself pretty cool.....I commend you. The music itself is very good and shows your intent.....keep at it my friend, it only gets better.
Thank you for your nice words. I cannot answer to you if it is worth investing in. The clever thing though is there is a trial period where you can explore what the software has to offer. Depends on your needs and your expectations. It's 7 days, or it's 14 days. You' ll get the point.
Best regards, Anthony
Hi Anthony, I appreciate your quest for novelty to nurture your creativity. Like any musical quests they have no ending and I believe this AI vocal support quest of yours is just the beginning of a new musical adventure. Thanks for sharing it and would be great to follow your next steps in that endeavor.
Yes, exactly that's the spirit.
It is an exploration, no harm done. We love real singers that have the way to give us excitement and fill our hearts with feelings, give our spirit the freedom to fly...of course that will not change whatsoever. But, as an assistant that can bring "life" to my ideas, it is so useful. In most of the cases it's more or less synth work. In other cases the instrument is a voice. You are a great artist, as others of the LM community and I am sure you can create magic, once you start to use some platform.
Yeap, give it a try!
Best regards, Anthony
Interesting track for sure. Great melodic music. Vocals are nice.
Ai is more and more incorporated with us. Terminator is near lol
I'll try it too, i'm interested to see what can be done with it. What is name of software you using if it's not secret?
Hello and many thanks for the listen and the comment. I don't think it is somekind of Terminator, as Manuela wrote to me it is the connection between the artist and the audiences, it is there in the live perormances, where the artist is so much loved. It is not only that of course, many other human characteristics that give someone that unique light that admirors want to follow. No, there is no secret. Just google vocal AI generator vst plugin and you will find some of the most known ones. The one I have used offers a total of 50 models (25 human singers, 25 instruments) and as you understand works as a VST plugin. There are of course other AI-powered suites for the creation of vocals for your songs. I just used this one because as a vst it is more familiar to me.
Give it a try, why not after all?
Beat regards, Anthony
Thank you so much for your kind words. I will try to use my voice but I think it is just the first time that I used this software. I'll try for better results, I want their company, it is nice to have all these guys around..
Best wishes, Anthony
Hello Anthony, I share Kays opinion stick with your authentic voice! Musically, this song, like many of your previous ones, definitely makes strong impressions. However, the vocal modulation still has plenty of room for improvement. Still, thank you for sharing this demonstration with us. The development of voice modulation surely hasn't reached its final stage yet and will continue to evolve in the future. Best wishes, and have a lovely weekend Manuela
Hello Manuela
I will try again, more decisively. All I mean is I will try to make a song with a strict melody to sing, and after transform it to a models singing. To tell you the truth I want it to work. I find it difficult anyway
Hello Kay
Thank you so much for listening and commenting on my track. That is somehow the problem, I have to train my voice...!! And that is triathlon....*smile* I won' t make it. I like that you like my natural voice or at least what is heard of it...it is blended with the music...and it's kept low....Of course I trust your insticts and your knowledge and I understand the way you say it.
Greetings from Greece Kay!
Very well done brother , moreover it is your first use ! A good demo that expresses what the creator of the music approximately desires and imagines could greatly help a true (human) singer to elevate the entire work with his interpretation. It is more than obvious that further developments in this field are very close to us... Much love tall man ! Cheerssssssssssss !!
It is a tool, a working tool. I simply think of what must the inventory be, in the labs. Anyway it needs training and possibly this could be a field of research, I mean the AI to be of aid to everyone. For example in this song, my voice that is to be transformed couldn't handle well the right tonality. The software did a very good transformation of the voice but kept the tonality issues. A next step for this exact software could be to prevent such a mistake. Possibly it is already a feature in other AI-powered software, I really do not know.
Yes, for demo purposes it is very helpful.
Much love brother!
**"Well, I think you've touched on a truly interesting topic. There have undoubtedly been some significant advancements in AI-powered vocal generation. I believe development in this area will continue to accelerate rapidly and lead to very impressive results. However, I doubt that AIat least in the short termwill be capable of producing emotionally charged expressions that a singer draws solely from the meaning of the lyrics. Things like the altered emphasis of certain syllables, the raising of the voice because the lyrics demand it, shifting from 'normal' singing to a powerful scream, or sustaining tones with variation... All of this is what a real singer intuitively extracts from the spirit of the text and expresses emotionally through their voice. I still believe this remains a distinctive strength of a human performer.
For a hobbyist, as you've described yourself, AI certainly offers wonderful opportunities to expand one's music vocally. Why not take advantage of that? But which program or provider might be right for your specific needsI couldnt say, as I lack experience in that area.
You ask what AI means for music. I think its both a blessing and a curse. AI has long found its way into modern studiosours included. It makes mixing and mastering significantly easier. Effects can be integrated more smoothly, and tracks can be aligned with one another more precisely. Yet even now, you still need a skilled sound engineer who gives the final polish at the end of a production.
Composing entire musical pieces through AI also has its limits. Theres a lot missing, in my opinion. AI still feels too static. It will likely be difficult to achieve consistent results that truly reflect the individuality of a musician.
Some colleagues are afraid of where this is heading. But as musicians, we should remind ourselves of our strengths. Because we still have the decisive advantage: we can present our songs live and connect with audiences directly. That makes us unique and ensures our music is purchased. Above all, we should be confident and remembernot everything that sounds good comes from AI, but from real people who pour heart and time into their music.
Eventually, AI could lead to uniformity, because it makes it far too easy for so-called creatives to simply reproduce whatever's trending.
I wouldn't agree with you more but what is in my mind is the vast amount of research about AI and the huge amounts of invested money which must bring back profit. I don' doubt you, human expression is unique and it is only in the tiny little details where artists find their audience, to love and support them.
It is a great collaborator so far (at least that is what is supposed to be) but I am concerned in the case it was an opponent. It is very poweful and special ethics committees should supervise how it is used. So many high data capacity brains in one, with a tremendous speed of accesing and processing information and what we call knowledge (imagine infinite libraries that can be accesed and analyzed in moments). We cannot defeat such a poweful opponent, so lets hope it will strictly remain a collaborator and yes it cannot beat a live performance, no matter what!
Greetings my friend, so nice to chat with you!
Hello Anthony, No one has a bad voice! What really matters is finding the right accompanimentthat is, music that suits the voice. Once you've found that match, with dedicated practice, a bit of courage, and self-confidence, you can achieve a lot. With this particular song of yours, it fit beautifully. So keep going with it. Trust meits worth it. Warm regards, Manuela
Hello there
Assurancetourix...was its name in the Asterix comics series!! If you just isolate the vocal track you'll hear how he sounded...! In Greece we call him Kakophonix (kako means bad..).
I am after two solutions.
One is more affordable. It uses 25 singing models to actually replace your recorded voice by them. It also offers 25 sounds that can replace your humming sounds for example to an instrument's track.
The other one is more expensive and gives you the ability to obtain vocal parts for a song by using lyrics and midi notes. Its models are way more expensive.
As written on their sites, what you create is fully copyrighted.
For a hobbist that works alone, it is a nice option. The first solution is cheaper but it prerequisites a decent recording of a voice. The second solution is more accurate. What you play on your keyboard is transformed to a singing voice of high quality. Both are AI supported.
I see a large area of activities where AI is used. I do not know what this really means for our lives but it is very poweful and continuesly evoluted.
Thank you for the support and the encouragement. It is time that is needed and it's not always enough. But yes, we can dream and chase those dreams
I wish to you a bright, beautiful day.
Greetings from Greece.
Hi Anthony, Your lyrics are truly beautiful. There are so many people who quietly radiate a mysterious kind of magicsurrounded by an aura that captivates us in ways we hardly notice. And when that presence is paired with love that is honest and doesnt disappoint, it can be something truly special.
Your vocal performance is full of feeling and expressive nuance, and now I know what your voice sounds like toosmile. You present the lyrics with a lightness and storytelling charm that makes them compelling from start to finish. The music is also wonderfully arranged, and the effects youve chosen are used with great careenhancing the piece without ever overshadowing your narrative.
I thoroughly enjoyed spending these lovely 4 minutes and 10 seconds with you.
So, right now I am listening to the song once more, and I like it more..magia !!
It is so good to know you liked it Manuela, I trust your words and I surely understand you are very gentle with our efforts. The way I presented the lyrics is narrative because the lyrics have to do with all that magic that we all live with "amore". It is like a fairytale, which I tried to tell. Of course I suppose I don't have any other way...I am totally inexperienced in this. Yet, I will try again (actually I have started already) a more melodic song in English , called "Summer in your eyes". I, by all means, know I cannot actually sing, but for now this my way to show outwards my ideas.
I see music as a gift and the way it is done, with all that technology which by now is in our hands and ears, is extremely fascinating. I use lots of technological achievements in other fields of my life, so I am really used to it. Being able to express feelings with these means is great.
I too, thoroughly enjoyed reading your thoughts and of course writing down my thoughts, as if we had a real conversation.
Warm regards, Anthony
Brilliant stuff!!!
That groovy is outstanding as the musical base ....
though, you need someone on the singing side :-) ... perhaps on the refrain side, on the peak of the song ...
thanx for the upload,
fistbump,
Danke
Hello Danke
Yes, I do agree with you and that's the concept of it...to just show the tracks, on which one would do his/her vocal stuff. It is just a drawing.
I am glad that you liked it as a song, it is really good.
Best regards, Anthony
Hi Anthony.
The music is exelent again.
With your singing/rap, you make it completely your own. I know from experience that it takes a lot of courage to release something with your own vocals. I'm not a singer either, but with perseverance and practice, I'm now doing pretty well as an amateur. I hear a certain tone in your voice that I think you could do too if you did this more often.
There was a mistake in my replay of my track. "Movie" should have been Looperman.
Dude these vocals are golden, why would u say theyre terrible? I could send u some examples of terrible vocals, trust me when I say your ears will hate u, probably forever. Youve also gotten even better at innovating ur sound and incorporating many types of music into your compositions. Well done man
Hello there
Thank you so much for listening and commenting on my track. Oh, yes all twelve of these songs have to incorporate various sounds and styles, it is something I so much like.
I really appreciate your good thoughts.
