Notes related to music
Estate Of The Nation by Sheldrick
100% AI generated (yes, both music and video) music video by Sheldrick.
From @davidsheldrick instagram post:
Estate of the Nation visualises 90s & 00s British chav & street culture reclaiming the corridors of power. Shifting the dynamic to a new kind of sovereignty where the high street rules the House.
From a technical standpoint, this is an exercise in total AI approach, every element is AI-generated. The music & lyrics are made in Suno, the vocal stem is then stripped to use as a modality to drive the lip-sync and facial performance.
Haku - Kamukamo-Shikamo-Nidomokamo!!
Discovery of the day: This cool J-Pop music video. The lyrics are made of all the Japanese tongue twisters (or so the comments say). I really like the vibe. Check the original song by Mono No Aware also!
The emotional rollercoaster of discovering Turbofolk
Nor nationalist nor military music are my kind of stuff, and discovering Turbofolk through pure randomness, I didn't expect learning about this particular aspect of the Yugoslav War.
I was converting "Harmonique" to Katakana and googled the result (ハルモニク). I was surprised to see a Japanese wikipedia page of a band. My Japanese isn't that good yet so I switched to English and felt curious about what I just discovered.
Which Way Is Up by Pearson Sound
The now legendary Hessle Audio label with a release from Pearson Sound. Groovy, Psychological, and Acid all at the same time. Great great stuff.
