It's time to be considerate, and... Consider It. (Kuukiyomi: Consider It) starting now!
I'm watching a series of videos on psychology in hooks & content, and the guy who made the course points to an example video he made.
THE BACKGROUND TRACK HE USED IS THE INSTRUMENTAL NUMI USED FOR THE NYA NYA/I'M A CAT SONG
I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING
My yapping streams with the Oddities are always super fun! Thank you all for coming, special thanks to taffyforever for the raid! We raided shinon_shn for even more good times!
Tomorrow, we're playing Kuukiyomi: Consider It. See you there! π
I'm not late! You're just early! Let's yap!
Eurobeat legends Clara Moroni (Cherry) and Alessandra Mirka Gatti (Domino) are making short-form videos about eurobeat, and they're awesome.
...maybe I should try, too? What could I talk about in them, if I did?
β¦also. I just dropped a THESIS here, I'm sorry π
I've done some thinking on the matter, though chances are there are spots where I'm being shortsighted or have a bumpy perspective.
β¦I'm just so tired of all the slop clogging my YouTube searches for Eurobeat. π
[β¦]to qualify as creators. And I do not think that generative AI allows for even a nonzero portion of that. IT makes the decisions, not the prompter.
AI as a tool for objective tasks (e.g, green screening, EQ, dynamics, noise removal, etc.), seems to allow, not hinder, creative decisions.
[β¦]if the sound it is controlling is also consciously sourced, be it a sample, loop, or synthesis), for a work to be considered a production.
I count music as a Humanity, alongside visual & performing artsβ with "Human" core to it. I believe we MUST have at least some role in our expressions[β¦]
I do firmly believe that a nonzero amount of a song's elements must be consciously sourced and manipulated (loops/samples/elements selected, aligned/timed) with some amount of manual control and choice during the creation process (toggling an arpeggiator's random number generator counts to me[β¦]
I recognize Suno's ability to export stemsβ and believe someone can be a remixer of those elements. However, IF the remixer's nature is made evident (that the original arranger/decision-maker was Suno), it tends to be a buried detail and not a readily stated fact until I read the video description.
With a prompt, it's... suggestions, to a hallucinating plagiarism engine. Other than writing words and hoping the machine gets it right, a human is not choosing the instruments, mix, timing, expression...
A prompt wielder's role becomes less of an artist, and more one of a client.
With so many things in music, I can find some conscious human decision in the raw source material. Samples/Loops are chosen, arranged, and manipulated consciously. Even randomness in arpeggiators have reasonable human control/input (how many octaves, what scale, toggle on/off, etc). [β¦]
I'll set aside my frustration, and ask folks using gen-!β to make "eurobeat", a genuine question.
Why use gen-!β, instead of finding a free DAW & samples/synths, and making it yourself? Do you fear something about that process? Do you feel you'd otherwise lack the tools?
I GOT SO MANY GOOD CARDS!
Thank you all for coming today! We raided Rin Penrose to keep the good times rolling!
Tomorrow we'll... hang out and chat~! See you then!
WE'RE OPENING A BOX-- VCard: Divine Chaos! C'mon in!
This week we're opening cards, making eurobeat, and... considering it? π€
Dear YouTube: You have a tag on videos that discluse using gen-!β, can you add an option to search that allows us not to see those videos?
Searching for "Eurobeat" on YouTube has become an awful mess. I want to see what PEOPLE make, not what plagiarism machines puke for them.
My attempts to make a standing desk "work" without lifting the screens & keyboard/mouse simultaneously have failed. Putting things back into a seated arrangement already feels healthier, easier on the neck/back/shoulders.
I'll just get my standing-up time elsewhere~
Between a tired body and an equally tired voice, I'm making the decision to cancel today's stream.
We'll get back together on Monday next week. I'll see you then. π
LISTEN TO THE PIZZA IN THE COSMOS REMIX IN THE MEANTIME! www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2ww...
Contemplating a short get-together on purple place or cancelling. Strangely tired today. If I do start, it may be late.
π TODAY!
My eurobeat remix of Akuma Nihmune's "Pizza in the Cosmos" drops at 12:30PM PST on YT!
It's a little late for her 5 year streaming anniversary, but I hope it's still a fun celebration of one of my favorite Vtubers AND musicians of the last 5 years!
I LOVE HOW THIS SONG IS GOING SO FAR!

No time to waste! There's eurobeat to make, starting now!
Sorry for ending stream a little early, I want to make sure my voice is in good health! Also thank you for coming, special thanks to highlandvalor for the raid! Chibidoki is raising funds for American Heart Association so we raided her!
I'm not 20 minutes late, I just-- okay, I'm 20 minutes late. But let's start anyway, let's start right now in fact!
MY HEART π₯² Thank you all for coming! Big thanks to HeyItLoki and Project_Lilim_TTV for the raids! We raided StarlightDaryl for more tugging at our heartstrings!

A little late to celebrate her 5th year of streaming, but I've made a remix of Akuma Nihmune's "Pizza in the Cosmos"! π
Numi has very quickly become one of my favorite vtubers & musicians, so let's celebrate together on Mar 6th @ 12:30PM PST! Here's a sneak peek! π½οΈ
