Cover of David Bowie's Win

Cover of Andy Allo's Cover of Prince's We Can Funk.

One of two quarantine projects completed earlier in the legendary year of 2020. Song was written in 2006, but re-recorded with slightly tweaked lyrics. This song can be found most places you stream music from.

Was meant for last Caturday. just a simple video, but then asked what if I add reverb? More tweaks, effects and overdubs and it's a week later.

Took a bunch of semi-coherent FB posts of mine from a few days in early Sept 2022, and fed them through Lazarus 2.0, a text recycler that mimics the famous Burroughs "cut up" technique. Then went through that mess and picked out my favorite sentences, did further editing; changing words, inserting and removing sentences where I felt like it, and turned it into a song. Not quite finished. I want to do more with the music. The title refers to a recent faux pas made by former Daily Show host, Jon Stewart, but I'm not sure if that's important. The phrase itself didn't make it into the song, but once an alternate title was also removed, and the remaining reference ("at Disney World, Nazis congregate") lacked the appeal of the former phrasing to be used as a title (my opinion), Disney World Aryan Adventure won out.

Once again, practicing a variation of the Burroughs/Bowie "cut up technique," but using my own words posted on FB from Sept 18th to the 23rd, scrambled through Lazarus, and then cherry picked and re-arranged into something resembling a song. In the midst of this project, I discovered (via Youtube video) a lyric generating AI tool called Jarvis and gave it a spin using a few lines. Naturally, it spit back a bit of nonsense (nonsense in, nonsense out?), but produced at least a couple of lines I found could be useful. Did the same with another song I was working on for a few months and was fed just enough inspiration to finish those lyrics, but that's another fun but weird thing. The chords were something I happened to be messing with at the time. This is a demo sketch version. I intend a fuller production at some point. May change some words between now and then ( the organ donor stuff seems a bit non-sequitur even in a non-sequitur environment. Wasn't sure I liked the word "damage" in the chorus until I came up with the title, "Inconsistent Damage by Former Angels."

An audiovisual jumpstarted and assisted, but not *completely* dominated by AI. Well, the video part is pretty dominated by AI. Lyrics assisted by https://jarvis-lyrics.com, and http://lex.page (but as suggestions that led to more writing). Voices generated by Synthesizer V ("Kevin," Solaria" and "Mai"), EmVoice One ("Keela") and a l'il bit of my own. Guitars, bass, and drum programing by me. Visuals via Stable Diffusion, Deforum .05 and .06, using the "Inkpunk 2" model set and video input shot by myself, of myself, but turned into something not quite myself. music recorded in Reaper. Video edited in KDENLive.

Song recorded in Reaper (DAW), video put together and edited in Davinci Resolve, with visuals produced by a Pixel phone, AI generated images; ArtFlow, Kaiber, RunwayML, Synclabs, with cross-pollination between apps for some images/video. Invideo for AI generated narration voice and mini-documentary, plus stock licensed stock footage. Music is me, plus synthesized background vocals via Synthesizer V. Anything I forgot I'll add as I remember.
