    I've been listening to custom music constantly for the past week, when I am feeding my dogs in the morning a first generate a new "Feeding the Dogs" song with a unique style each time. If I'm hungry and want a milk shake, I'll make a milk shake song and listen to it while I'm making the milk shake. To create these songs I just have to ask Alexa, "Alexa make me a song about Feeding my dogs breakfast in the morning. Use the style of west african high-life music, 1950's doo wop, and Speed metal" The song starts playing a few seconds later. I am still in shock and it has been a week.

    People often have a lot to say about AI but making music of this quality so easily like this is mind blowing, terrifying and amazing. This music has LIT ME UP so many time's I can't even begin to count. It may be ai generated, but if I am honest this is the best new music I've heard in years. PS I am a life long musician, and I don't really know what I think about this technology yet

    So what do you currently expect ai music to sound like? Generic, robotic? Life changing?
    Does the song I made below sound meet your expectations?
    These lyrics were written by me and my partner, this song I spent more time on than the ones I mention above, and I created it on the website.

    Prompt Used for the Style
    Code:
     genre fluid, face melt ,sub bass, deep sub , bass, drop break, silence, drops, face melting, grime, avant pop, avant dub, happy ,joy, male vocals, joy joy, happy happy, tight bass grooves, avant pop, analog, 1960's, doo wop,avant dub, silence, riffs, west African, wide dynamic range with drops and breaks, high life, sub sub, trap step, clean clear vocals, all night rave, art house, melodic,  deep sub bass, wide dynamic range, clean clear vocals, motown, catchy
    Lyrics used to generate the song combined with the Style prompt above:

    or come undone

    to remember 
    [drop]
    
    [Verse 1]
    They told you progress was a wire and a bill
    A poison battery sitting on a hill
    They took the blueprints that could power the whole earth
    And locked 'em up to guarantee what their oil's  worth
    [verse 2]
    
    They got you payin' for the sun, payin' for the breeze
    While the schematics for utopia are gathering dust and fleas
    [energy builds]
    It's coils and it's magnets, a simple, perfect art.
    
    Pullin' endless energy right from the planet's heart
    
    But that don't make a profit, that don't keep you on your knees
    
    [a capella]
    So they feed you scarcity and engineered disease.
    
    [Chorus: high energy]
    [male and female vocals]
    [big future beat]
    Rise up!
     Let the paper money burn!
    
    Every dollar that you spend is a lesson you don't learn!
    
    Grow your own food, profit from your labor.
    Grow your own food, share it with your neighbors.
    Grow your own food, profit from your labor.
    Grow your own food, share it with your neighbors.
    
    Starve the bankers, let their empty towers fall
    
    Flip the switch on their whole system, give the power back to all!

    Over-unity for you and for me!

    [Verse 2: Trippy doo wop]

    This flesh and bone is temporary, just a vessel for the soul
    
    A spark of the divine only you can control
    
     a soul can't be governed, a soul is pure light
    Hope and Optimism are tool for the fight

    Look down at your hands. Feel the blood inside your veins.
    The Creator didn't put a price tag on the sun or on the rains.
    
    That pulse you feel is power, a current pure and deep
    
    They can't own it, they can't tax it, they can't sell it to you cheap.
    
    This ain't another protest, this is a universal shift.
    This ain't another protest, this is a universal shift.

    No song encapsulates growing up in LA more than this one. Their first album was really good. One of the few vinyl albums to survive a tumultuous relationship. I can still see the others hurling by at high velocity through my 3d glasses...



    The singer earned a Phd. in zoology from Cornell University and was a professor at both Cornell and UCLA. He was truly the thinking man's punk. I remember actually having to pull out a dictionary to understand his lyrics.

    So great, thank you Bluegreen. I grew up on the Beach Boys. I remember taking a trip to the Bronx when I was seven with my brother, eight, and my mother and step dad, all the way from LA, to see my step dad's family. We traveled in a VW Bus with the Beach Boys greatest hits, Eagles greatest hits, Steve Miller's Fly Like an Eagle, and Fleetwood Mac's can't remember, lol. Ah, the seventies. It's funny actually, since growing up I'd be awakened to the classics (operas and symphonies) by my mother, either on her phonograph or her playing them on the piano herself. "Mom! I'm trying to sleep!" Actually, in hindsight, very good memories of my mother and her one true passion...

    I don't think this was on the original greatest hits eight track(!) that we had in the seventies but I love this song.

    Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody got its most famous tribute in the movie Wayne’s World, head banging in that cute little AMC. Loved that.

    Here is where we are at today, with a somewhat simpler but arguably more-stressful-to-perform cover, played on a line of tuned toy rubber chickens*.

    *These rubber chicken toys can be no joke. As DaToob shows, they are used by ferocious US military Drill Instructiors to get punishable smiles out of fresh recruits. Think Full Metal Jacket, but with an evil squeeking rubber chicken too.

    This performance of Vaughn Williams very famous work - The Lark Ascending - is from the Australian violin master Richard Tognetti, this is interesting because it was presented as being a representation of the tragic feelings WWI produced for the ANZACS & of course the enormous numbers of young British & European men who were sacrificed in the name of politics/economics - almost an entire generation was decimated, leaving so many towns & villages without the next crop of manhood to enable society to function: the profoundly melancholic mood this music produces, coupled with its successful philosophical metaphorical imagery has moved people since it was written: what many musicologists refer to as the 'Impressionism' period of European music. We might argue that music is essentially impressionistic by its very nature, however I know what they mean in this specific case!
    This music has haunted me since I first encountered it as a very young man, my responses to it have shifted along with the decades. Many people can tend to dismiss this music as being a little 'typical' and pretty, I sympathize with this, however if you are in the right frame of mind/mood this piece can genuinely transport you, take you on a life's journey from birth to death. I think this a triumph of poetic & musical artistry, a true work of musical genius, perhaps you have picked this up from my slightly hyperbolic description, anyway if one or two of you might not have heard this before now, it may delight & offer you comfort. Vaughn Williams I salute you sir.

    Like The Lark Ascending, George Butterworth's was actually written before WWI; somehow these musicians seemed to encapsulate the post-war nostalgia for the lost Edwardian "summer".

    I find Banks of Green Willow even more poignant than TLA, indeed almost unbearably sad.

    Perhaps partly because George Butterworthhttps://www.warcomposers.co.uk/butterworthbio was one of the many junior offer casualties of the Western Front; where he was regarded as an exceptionally fine soldier, and was awarded the Military Cross.

    Butterworth died in 1916 serving with the Durham Light Infantry during the battle of the Somme.

    Saw them live a few days ago. They are an awesome live band. Their combination of technicality (it's progressive metal/rock) with feeling is impressing.

    Van Halen, ‘81 at Oakland. Wild showmanship, very good video production, and lots of pretty impressive athleticism by frontman David Lee Roth. And to my musical ear and sensibilities, the whole music is great.

    I never fanned out on VH, but always enjoyed them on the radio or at parties. This show was in my Uni years, and I bopped to them back then. The Roth years were the best VH years.

    Title says full concert, but it’s only three songs. Odd, but I don’t know and I don’t care.

    Default Re: What music are you listening to now?

    I've been trying to find this on vinyl for more than 30 years now, French avant garde group Art Zoyd and I just found this video of them playing live what I've been looking for for so long and it's..... fantastic



    One lp that I do have, found it in the late 80's after looking for it for a long time is Egon Bondy's Happy Hearts Club Banned by Egon Bondy and The Plastic People of the Universe. They were from Czechoslovakia, behind the Iron Curtain, and when this album was released most of them were either in jail or hiding out. All the music came from cassettes that were smuggled out and it was all recorded in the early 70's... All they had were some cassettes with music from Led Zeppelin, Zappa, Captain Beefheart, they knew almost nothing about Western music and they just went from there....



    Here's the full album:



    Enjoy

    I stumbled across this channel a while ago of Luna Lee playing some rock tunes on a traditional Korean instrument, a Gayageum. It's pretty amazing, so I thought one belonged here, but I couldn't pick just one, so here are three:

    Rolling Stones-Paint It Black Gayageum ver. by Luna


    Pink Floyd- The Great Gig in The Sky Gayageum ver. by Luna


    Dire Straits-Sultans Of Swing Gayageum ver. by Luna
    The only place a perfect right angle ever CAN be, is the mind.
