✧ Project: Orpheus - Imagine Create Share ✧

Interesting how last fall as this Orpheus concept started, it pushed me into getting serious about the back end of mixing & mastering & see if the songs would stand up to AI from being simply recorded at home., Originally wanted to do a 10 song concept about it from non AI perspective, but as i wrote & tracked, life... simply started capturing the emotion of whats going on. Def into a formula now,

4 concepts in a looper working on>
4 songs tracking>
4 in mix>
4 in master>
release Spotify & YouTube

so there is always few months of backlog when I need to step back & not force a new song & can still enjoy the mixing & mastering.



What a blessing its been. 15 singles & 5 song EP released, no AI since Jan 1st

House is set up as a flip a few switches & can capture anytime,

The stage is set as I age out to enjoy what always have, writing songs, it was always about the songs to me & hearing a concept in the brain get finished

I believe when your 10 songs are done here & thread is over will be able to put together 10 from all my songs as the Anti AI made version of Orpheus. as "my" project challenge. orpheus got me motivated to be better actually & def learn there is no competition , no better or worse..there is just the shear joy we get when we make music from the heart & capture it !!

For me Orpheus has always been about lighting a creative spark and then nurturing it and making it grow ...
so it seems to me that everything you've done is fully in the spirit of the project !
Carry on!

Well, your creative spark is definitely lit with how much music you make, good stuff.

I think what Orpheus has helped me with is re focus on the music & not how or who but what I can do with what i got. Sometimes lose that perspective & forget to focus on a song vs the gear, or this or that ect.. basics, back to basics

It did open me up to AI & even in my work we are greatly affected by it recently. It is something just have to deal with & it is cool to see how our music does stand up to AI produced.
 
So back when this project had lift off , I had a vague idea of what to do @TVvoodoo laid out the path and challenge as it were.

I had decided that Sci-Fi was going to be my concept. I started writing ideas down , I came up with not such great ones but I forged ahead.

In January of this year I had multiple versions of a song that turned out to me to be cutting edge, of course I see it that way
The description I wrote in Suno:

“AI tells this story of Deep Space travel, imagining 100 years in the future.”
Of course Sci Fi , you have to have some imagination, if you are so rooted in your current realty it’s definitely a stretch.

Imagine 100 years in the future , space travel is like air transportation is now.
Deep space is more obtainable.
Traveling outside of the Orrt cloud.
Rather than me explaining that I’ll let NASA do that

“The Oort Cloud is the most distant region in our solar system, and it's jaw-droppingly far away,extending perhaps one-quarter to halfway from our Sun to the next star.

To appreciate the distance to the Oort Cloud, it’s helpful to set aside miles and kilometers and instead use the astronomical unit, or AU — a unit defined as the distance between Earth and the Sun, with 1 AU being roughly 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers.”

For comparison, Pluto’s more elliptical orbit carries it between about 30 and 50 astronomical units from the Sun. The inner edge of the Oort Cloud, however, is thought to be located between 2,000 and 5,000 AU from the Sun, with the outer edge being located somewhere between 10,000 and 100,000 AU from the Sun.
I don’t want to make this 1000 characters.

AI is the character perspective, the astronaut has been traveling in space for his entire life, AI is maintaining tracking and communicating. The human subject is suffering psychological drift. The signal is delayed due to the distance.
The question remains, will earth survive?
I have a sequel idea.

Sorry if this makes your head hurt. lol

The Orpheus project was not designed to be strictly AI , it is optional.
So BFT your project fits here also.

Oh, i kinda backed away & thinking it was AI only. Still give credit, without this thread, I don't have, Usher in the Pain, which led to getting the mixing & mastering gear (room treated, mixcubes, headphones, many ways to listen to the final mix ect) and all these songs this year. Was in limbo musically. The AI challenge got me to see if the recordings could get in the range of AI.

You did an amazing amount of work to learn all of that write it out it together with proper recording method and mixing. Huge accomplishment BFT!
 
So , I have been so darn busy doing everything since retiring, mostly mega yard remodeling.
This project is going to end for me as soon as get all of the details worked out.
Most of the songs are done but not all of the video’s yet. That is a job in itself.
Just finished this . This song musically had another life. I decided I like the riffs so much to write lyrics to better fit the mood and yes Sci Fi of course.

Ch. 17 - KILLING FLOOR (Nemesis)

The phone rang, and i picked up the receiver.

It was Kat; she was on assignment in the UK, shooting some fashion spread at the Hadleigh Castle ruin in Essex.

I was distracted and somewhat distraught, but tried not to let on.
I forced myself to focus on what she was saying from across the ocean, but my thoughts were really with the woman in the next room.

“The most exciting thing that has happened so far is that I almost got run over by some...

Ever since you posed that question it confirmed to me that the majority of members here at TTR have never written or recorded a complete song......ever.

Edit: That's an observation...not criticism.

As to Project Orpheus? I've given it a lot of thought because I'm totally impressed with your dedication to the project.

If the project is simply to produce a ten song CD/Album of original music without the necessity of using Suno or AI, I'm willing to come aboard and participate.

Edit: I'm not sure that I should subject anyone to listening to 10 songs. 4 or 5 tops.

I was married for almost 20 years. My wife ran off with another guy (1988) abandoning me and our three daughters. I wrote and recorded a few songs.

TRAIN

Another train down the tracks
I watch it pass by
Another day without you here
It passes us by
I don’t believe this is the best you can do
I just can't help it I still believe in you

I see the sun sinking low
This day's at an end
Another night moving in
I'm still on the mend
I don't believe you just want to let it go
I just can't help it if I still believe in you so
I just can't help it if I still believe in you so

If you could see you through my eyes
You'd see what I'm seeing in you
You're the sun in the morning
The moon late at night
The only star that's ever been bright

Another night
Can't sleep again
Just walking the floor
Silent night and I think I hear
A sound at my door

Could that be you or just something that I'm wishing for?

I just can't help it if I'll never let you go.

I have decided that the title of my compilation of songs will be
"The Ides Of Matrimony" :)
 
Have the follow up to
next week release

which started all this , think i can put together an organic challenge to this AI thang, but it will never override a pure rock song release, as major effort, nothing & no one gets in my head when it comes to making music..from the heart versus the robot stuff
 
BTW your fearless leader called me out on my vocals. on Usher in the Pain, ., 5 months later.. many releases later..what ya got, fearless leader....
