My most recent post gave ChatGPT the opportunity to describe the nature of our collaboration and place it in the context of the Pink Eye project , aka The Territory. I framed that perspective with some comments of my own, providing a taste of both the successes and the shortcomings of working with ChatGPT. Since then, I have shifted that work over to Claude for reasons that will become apparent. This post asks the same question regarding our efforts, and I will again provide

A behind-the-scenes look at a creative collaboration between artist and AI. Exploring the Pink Eye project, this post examines how generative tools reveal patterns, shape music and visuals, and build a conceptual “Territory.” It also addresses real limitations, including memory gaps and document handling, offering an honest, grounded view of AI as both catalyst and constraint in long-form creative work.

A first-person account of a liminal sound experiment conducted in the service corridors of a corporate building. By recording music played in an acoustically distinctive space and replaying it in situ, the author experiences “aftersound,” an auditory afterimage where perception lags behind reality. The essay explores liminality, illbient aesthetics, psychoacoustics, and how sound can become portable space.

Me: Very much related sidebar. Please compare and draw parallels between the Yeats poem, "The Second Coming," and our current political and cultural situation. Chatgpt: This is a sidebar, but it’s not a digression — it’s a structural mirror , which is why The Second Coming  keeps asserting itself in your canon. I’ll do this in three passes: What Yeats is actually saying (briefly, precisely) Parallels to the current political / cultural moment Why this matters for your work ,

There’s a persistent misunderstanding about art made with AI: that the presence of a machine somehow replaces authorship. That the work arrives fully formed, frictionless, without intention, history, or cost. Pink Eye exists in direct opposition to that idea. It is not an experiment in novelty, nor a demonstration of technology. It is the continuation of a long creative arc—one shaped by decades of listening, editing, making, abandoning, starting again, and learning when not

I've been working with ChatGPT on my Pink Eye project ( link here to my YouTube playlist ). This is my first experience working with an AI like Chatgpt, and so far it has been very fruitful. Here's one short description of the musical aspect of the project that I wrote for YouTube: "Where the groove comes first, no matter the pace. Fusions of trip hop, big beat, hip hop, jazz and cinematic orchestration. Bring on the breaks! Pink Eye was conceived near the turn of the millen

I'm currently creating music with the use of the AI music engine, Suno, and releasing it under the name "Pink Eye." It's an imaginary trip-hop/downtempo/big-beat "act" that will have all the trappings of such a band from the very late 90s and early 2000s. I've been at at a stage for a while now where I can create the merch, the marketing photos, logos, videos - the whole multimedia extravaganza surrounding the music to whatever extent I want to. And with my recent introducti
