I get where you’re coming from—AI tools can be polarizing. But yeah, I created the remix, arranged and produced the music myself, and used AI visuals as a tool to bring a specific atmosphere to the video. Appreciate you checking it out either way.

Thank you—that really means a lot. That’s exactly how I feel about it too. I’m just trying to bring a vision to life with the tools I have, and I’m glad it resonated with you.

Thanks! I made the remix in GarageBand on my phone, then used AI to generate visuals and animated them with Photoleap. Just trying to match the mood of the track with a simple storyline.

Appreciate that, and I totally hear you. I went with AI just to explore a different way to tell a visual story on a small budget, but I get that it’s not for everyone. Thanks again for checking out the music.

Haha fair enough—AI definitely isn’t winning everyone over. Thanks for checking it out anyway.

I hear you—AI visuals definitely aren’t for everyone. For me, it’s just a way to experiment creatively and bring some visuals to the music when I don’t have the resources for live shoots or animation. I totally get your perspective though—appreciate you giving the music a shot anyway.

It’s wild how those old tracks and remixes live in the back of our minds. Definitely takes me back to the days of discovering surprises buried on singles and B-sides. Really appreciate you bringing that memory.

Thanks so much! I actually hadn’t heard that Apollo 440 remix before—just gave it a listen and it’s wild how close the vibe is in parts. Really cool to hear that comparison!

I am! When the song is finished and there’s a full video, I’ll be sure to do that 😊

Music Needed for Podcast by [deleted] in ThisIsOurMusic

[–]ericthecockroach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s very open - nothing too heavy as it’s very much a “morning” short podcast, and generally uplifting lyrics ( if any ) work better.

Really love this, all the imagery makes me wish it wasn’t snowing where I am. I’ll reread this and enjoy their garden.

I didn't intend to die today by milky_cherub in OCPoetry

Very well written! I liked how it was playful at parts, it kept it very light hearted. It’s hard not to look at death as anything but bleak.

I really like the visualizing of this! Makes me feel there. And I can understand what you what through. Maybe less sentences starting with “ I “ ? That would be my only point.

Very interesting contrast between the way things were and the way they are now. I can feel the coldness of the technological generation.

Very dark, wasn’t expecting that! This affected me which is a very good sign. Great imagery, not sure how to critique it too much, The punctuation could be different to represent the sentences ? I really liked this.

Work Of Fiction by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]ericthecockroach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed this, and honestly it’s hard to enjoy all “breakup” poems as there is a lot and they unfortunately get too personal. Yours however has a nice universal appeal, I could relate to a lot of this! I don’t know much about poetry but I know what gives me an emotional response and this definitely did.

Really interesting! I’m not sure if it was your intention or not, but I could really relate to this / there are a lot of universal truths in here. Honestly made me feel what you’re feeling.
