Some of you have seen that I have been experimenting with having AI help me create music. I put a few tracks on BR, and since then I have changed up and refined those tracks a heck of a lot and I now have a total of 10 songs:

1. All the Places You Will Go

2. Bait Monkey Blues

3. Big 'Uns

4. Chasing Shadows

5. Fishing or Me (your wives and girlfriends will appreciate this song)

6. Five Fish Dream

7. High Dollar, No Bass

8. Motor On, Paddle Strong

9. The Ballad of Kayak Koz

10. Kickin' Bass

I kid you not, I cannot believe how good these songs came out. The song styles include rowdy honky tonk, upbeat modern country, and more. But I like the rowdy honky tonk beats.

What started off as a lark is becoming a bit more serious. And believe it or not, I'm in the process of getting these published on Spotify, iTunes, etc. There's a bit involved in getting them published, including things like cover art, album art, and even band art. I'll post again when the album is released, and maybe some of you will take a listen. It's really fun music and it will get your motor running on the way to the lake. Stay tuned for Kayak Koz and the Minnows.

Here's my first concept for the bank art:

I will definitely take a listen.

I'm going to add one more song that was inspired by someone right here on BR. The premise is "You shoulda bought a bass boat!"

hey koz, is it a generic voice that is singing?

I have tools that allow me to customize all aspects of the voice. This allows me to come up with the tone, modulation, style, etc. that I’m looking for as a whole and each line and section of the song (intro, verse, chorus, bridge, etc.).

The more I get into it the more I learn.

Last two of the album:

1. Shoulda Bought a Bass Boat

2. 100 Inches or Bust (title might change Five Big Bites)

Everything should be on iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, etc. within the next month.

i heard somewhere that the music industry might have to come up with a new category for AI songs,

It wouldn't surprise me. Personally, it doesn't bother me at all. I don't even care if no one downloads or streams the songs I'm going to publish. I think they're great. It's mostly high energy music that really gets me pumped up on the way to the ramp or on the way to work.

For me, there's quite a bit of work as I come up with most of the lyrics. Then there's all of the vocal settings, style settings, instrument choice and style, and a host of other options. I can't even begin to count the number of rewrites and iterations of each song to get it to where I want it.

I would also bet that major artists are also using AI in music creation. It's a fascinating tool. If I didn't tell people my songs used AI for the vocals and aided in production I don't think they would evert know.
