Title: Totally under appreciated music channel
Post by: Matthew on January 28, 2025, 05:58:16 PM
AI generated, and the videos are "iffy" at best, BUT the music itself is much better. The music is "loop it for hours" worthy, at least for me.

I know that taste in music varies, but the Aragorn song (bottom) got 5.9K views. In 1 month. Come on!
It's way better than that, you gotta admit. 

I've seen idiots post absolute garbage on Youtube and get 100X that. I was shocked at the view count of some of these videos. Even the "best" one only broke 220K views. Most people that would enjoy it haven't found it yet, it would seem.

This one is by far the best:

This one reminds me of 90's pop music, another great song --

Maybe it is just me, but I just don't think AI can recreate the soul of an actual band and singers.  Though it is catchy and tolerable, I feel that something is missing.  

I wonder if I would have felt the same thing if I wasn't told it was AI.  :cowboy:

The music is AI generated? I'm not surprised. The level of distortion is high, and the various elements it makes use of sound cliche in a way, as if to say "I have analyzed much music, and have included all of their unique elements into this composition based on the style of the most well received compositions of pop music." It seems unnatural, though it brings to mind the kind of music associated with Japanese anime or something like that.

What would Bishop Williamson say? It's inverted; rhythm first, then harmony, then melody last, if there's much melody at all.

I don't know about looping it for hours, but some of the best looping music is found in video games, as you no doubt know. Of course it's a lot easier to find music to listen to looped over for long periods when you are busy and therefore distracted enough to not notice the less desirable qualities found in some such music.

One of my favorites

I went through his channel and I thought this one was really well done.
