Don't Need AI

That was pretty interesting ... like any tool AI can be used, or misused ...

Cheers

Cheers Richard and Piri, you are right if used properly AI can be good. But what I am saying if you have a talent, and you want to express what is humanly in you then I don't think you need to depend on AI. Though I have met a singer poet and writer who tells me he now uses AI to develop his lyrical ideas. I have another friend who uses Band In A Box sometimes to write music but for the final product he likes to actually get musicians to play.  I have heard at open mikes now many turn up with backing tracks instead of accompanying themselves with a guitar or whatever. To me if people do that, they should call it Karaoke. Though I not against using tech along with instruments to fill out the sound.  Bands using click tracks live tends to sound stilted to me though with a solo player it can work for me as an audience member. When a band has a drummer I notice the free flying ones are more enjoyable to my ear then ones who are obviously using click tracks. Was it Ringo Starr who famously said I am the click track in the recording studio? But with regards to AI being used as part of the creative process it most probably feels ok to the younger ones where to me being a person who likes it to be from me it wouldn't feel right. But the truth been told it would most probably give me a better composition.
BTW
The outro chords came about after I pushed the wrong buttons on my keyboard by mistake and I realized the full organ sound sort of worked.     

Cheers Piri, the Open Mic I have been to have all been as you say everyone joining in. Most will have a band who if you bring a chord chart of what you want to sing they will back you or if you want you can play solo with your own instrument of choice.
Here in Wellington back in the 60's and early 70s we had a lot of Cafe's where people played Folk music where many songs were sang by the performer and audience. Pubs and clubs were more Band orientated in the 70's and 80.s there were plenty of venues for bands. In the 90's a lot of that changed and things like disco's seem to pop up with band venues getting less and less. From the 90's onward to survive many musicians had to go solo and rely on tech to fill out their live sound. Band venues are getting less here now but there are still a few.
Some of its due to the bars not getting the crowds like they use to so the bars don't have the budget to employe bands. A young bloke told me he sings at a Open Mic, that allows some to bring their own backing tracks. I told him if they do that it should be called Karaoke. There is a group here who are really good singers when they play with a band I love them. But when they do gigs with backing tracks it doesn't work for me but many love them with a band or a backing track. One thing I miss now my Mum has passed on is her telling me stories about Big Bands and dancing and singing at Cabarets in the 40's and 50's. A thing she use to call going out and "Tripping The Light Fantastic". I'm ranting I better stop here.     

Cheers Piri I have enjoyed the interaction on here with you. When I look at the hair and clothing styles that I was into at a different phases of my life I often think what was I thinking. It always amazes the younger generation that see those photos of the young fella that was me with long ginger hair is now the person who has what's left of his hair colored grey. The younger me and the me now are most probably from different planets. Maybe that could be a book title Young Are from Mars Old Are From Venus. though I can't really see that becoming a central metaphor in any society.
