Clairo - Zinnias

 I must have slept for a minute on Clairo. One minute it's lo-fi bedroom pop with Pretty Girl and now seemingly suddenly it's Steely Dan-esque sofisi-pop! awesome evolution in motion 😀

The Princess Revealed

This AI art piece was originally called The Princess Revealed but it was transformed into my first AI animation video today. To fully try out AI animation I bought a yearly subscription to Kaiber AI with Stellar Lumens XLM crypto. I also have been trying to create AI music with Loudly. I took the image as a starting point and transformed it into an Art Nouveau style and kept it mostly static with the Princess holding her gaze into the viewer's eyes as she changed. The Princess is subtly revealed to secretly be an angel..

Red Hector - Kiss Of Love's Farewell

I created an AI Art piece called "A Kiss Before The War" which was inspired by the famous kiss in times square the day World War 2 ended. In my version the kiss was before going off to war for a couple that live in an alternate universe or an alternative past. Perhaps the soldier was even going to serve in an alternative universe to theirs, such as our own.

There were many outtakes that I liked, so I made a video with the same tools as the Mermaid video. I created a new AI song with the generator called SongR and had Chat GPT write me some lyrics which get automatically sung. 

The whole concept, and also the Mermaid song, were also inspired by a feeling I had as a kid listening to this haunting  Beatle-esque pop song by ELO where he sings "my old world is gone for dead" which had me imagine coming from an alternate world or other planet to this world and never being able to return back 'home' - so this farewell kiss is forever..

 

Blue Elfin Queen

This AI Art piece was created while I was watching the film Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves in the Bigscreen VR app. There was an Elf girl in the movie and it was my friend Blue's birthday who we were going to celebrate in VR afterwards. I made her this Blue Elfin Queen in the style of Picasso blue period which she loves.

Red Hector - I Was Once A Mermaid

I made a series of sad mermaid AI Art pieces and put a few of them on Instagram called "Dreams Of Distant Seas". I ended up trying a new AI song generator called SongR and had Chat GPT write me some lyrics about how the mermaid was remembering the freedom and beauty of living as a mermaid before coming to live on land for the rest of her life. (a metaphor, of course) I edited together most of the picture outtakes to go along with the music. SongR even has a couple of voices to choose from that will sing your lyrics you provide.

Aziya - Atomic

So far this is my favorite song and video discovered in 2023. I like the new wave pop energy and how it gets off the beat and slams back to the killer hook. YOUR LOVE IS ATOMIC! She teased the hell out of this song on her TikTok and I definitely looked forward to the full release.
 

Unraveling The Mystery

This piece was inspired by the films of my favorite director David Lynch, specifically Mulholland Drive. The surrealistic film noir explores the darkness behind Hollywood and how the two main female characters work together to unravel the mystery of their own selves.
