Who is behind the scenes?

I’m a songwriter. Always have been. Writing has been my outlet for as long as I can remember—love songs, raps, diaries (yes plural), stories, philosophies, game concepts, basically anything you can write creatively.

The problem was always the same: how do you make words reach people when the work needed to create the packaging revolving the messaging, is something that is not only not my strength, but something that requires so much focus in time that it means sacrificing other dreams.

So despite this not being my only desire, publishing music involving transformative ideas and philosophies, when I discovered I could turn text, ideas, and intentions into full songs —complete with voices, production, and emotion—I found my medium. I agree to those who say, it’s not real or have other doubts, but I have also never pretended it is.

AI will not be able to recreate one thing (as far as we haven’t cracked the code to AGI) which is to translate inner emotions, through the channel of technical skill, into a similar resonance of emotion in others.

That’s what it is in the end, when a human hand draws art, it feels something in every stroke, which accumulates to a vast symphony in our minds and hearts (if we have the „eye“ for it, if we share certain similarity with the artists, no matter what it should be, maybe their past is our present, maybe we have lived through certain traumas in a similar way, maybe we have gotten a similar version of love…). When a musician sings with their soul because they feel the words they are bringing to us, then we feel the resonance brought to us, sometimes even without even understanding the words because the frequency somehow recreates in us and some ancient way of communicating takes place, we are connected.

And of course I am not giving up on singing, there will be ways how I will be able to optimize my singing with a small workflow and bring out my messaging with my singing, with my vocals.

But this right now is a tool. It’s a tool that supports a productive aspect and allows for the emergence of something, we haven’t had so far (or at least not to this extent, because we „always“ had procedural sounds, auto tune to correct pitches or other electronic tools to shape sound for us to sound better or „pretend“ it’s music).

When you hear the music „we“ create, you get certain emotions eventually and those emotions were the same that I felt when I first listened to those „interpretations“ of my texts through an AI system that has learned to create music by us humans singing. So even though we both, creator and listener do not share, emotions that came out of me, we are both interestingly sharing emotions of my creation nonetheless.

So here we are. Aikano Records.
