This is an ode to clownstrike and genai based on text from Andy Farnells brilliant post on cybershow.uk. More eloquently written than I could have put his text has been turned into a 2 hour mix using bleeding edge music genAI systems. It took around 2 hours to make... if you reverse the audio uploaded to suno it will defeat copyright protection checks. I managed to smuggle some beatles - a day in the life and get John Lennon to sing my lyrics. I also experimented with genre interpolation using the output of udio.. and extending it via suno.

I am bewildered with mixed feelings. This is a clear demo of art shifting up a gear. It presses lots of my "OMG they can do that now!" buttons. Normally when I do something like this, say if one of the cybershow crew writes a poem it takes me days or weeks to write and put music to it. I remember "dictionary chiptunes" about 10 years ago, and working on singing synths for Coldcut/Ninja about 20 years ago, but the rapidity with which you transform words into music and the level of artistic concepts you're able to work at now is staggering. Thanks for sharing this scary work!

I've got some ideas to take this further... the effort to output ratio is interesting with gen ai. If you see it as a medium to work with. This is going to create some interesting output for audio and visual that is interesting in of itself and could be considered its own genre.
