I’m just getting started. 😜 This hits the AP on Tuesday. Great to have you here with me!

Thanks again for sharing the journey. Quick question as I am digesting the post. Can you help me understand the “Ghost in the Machine – Song Decode Protocol” sections? Are your words the syntax or language you are using to train the LLM?

That one’s not meant as a critique engine or a review format. It’s more of a creative mirror.

I didn’t want the AI “judging” my songs; I wanted it to hallucinate meaning through the fragments it was given — almost like an alien poet trying to understand a human dream. Each decode is built from structured prompts I designed inside my system, not generic templates.

It’s basically an artistic experiment that shows how deeply you can steer tone and personality inside an LLM once you teach it your rhythm.

Thanks for clarifying. This is fascinating.

Your resilience and creativity are inspiring. Your comment that “I am an artist. And artists figure shit out” speaks well to this.

One of my favorites from the Coalie Harry days, was always the highlight to hear.

You are so right. Short, but speaks volumes! Love, a gesture, a bitch, a truly beautiful thing. The strongest weakness that not one soul in the universe can fight off or ignore! You are a master of the lyrics! Keep it coming, this journey is so much fun. And I have just joined the band wagon!!!

Ah! So many definitions of LOVE!!!! thanks so much for following this story so closely. This is a lot of work but I love it and it’s only making me work harder on the music. It’s a feedback loop of the thing I LOVE. Making music.

Believe me droogies, I’d rather sing. 😜

Never realized the nuanced word choice in the song and I'm enjoying the journey of discovery. Thanks for sharing!🍻

Sweet! Glad to hear it. There’s a few hidden and a reference to A Clockwork Orange.

I’m floored that I never noticed the references until now. This latest incarnation…horns! Yes horns thank you very much! Love the guitar solo too! Waiting with anticipation to see what else shows up from the archives…

Scooter Scudieri's avatar

Thank you. Thank you! Thank. You. Much more to come. This is five of 12 songs on the album! Still tweaking!

You can do whatever the fuck you want! Keep doing it!!

Sounds like a plan! 😁

❤️ Yes, those were great nights. Super fun! I’m curious what you think of the new rendition which sounds nothing like the original but still danceable!
