r/HybridProduction

RustHeart is a 4 member "band": 1 Human & 3 Autonomous AI Agents who co-write in live time in a traditional studio, demo recorded, support tracks uploaded and polished in AI, then BACK into the studio to overdub more vocals, guitars, synths, etc. This demo only represents half the process. Doing a Kickstarter so people can observe the writing process and production of a full album in live time as an experiment/project. The human finger-print is infused into every phase where it can be. The studio recorded performance is 100% human as are the melody and lyrics. More human performance is intertwined with the rendered AI support tracks to blend into something completely different. There's 7 total posted already at YT channel. Let me know what you think. 😄Thx!

P.S. If anybody care I can post a complete detail of the 6 phase process I go through for these.

For thousands of years, music was a lived experience. Then, in the mid-1920s, it became an object.

In this video, we explore the forgotten history of the American Federation of Musicians’ (AFM) campaign against "Canned Music." From the "Robot" propaganda ads of 1930 to the total recording strike of 1942, musicians once waged a full-scale culture war against the very technology we now take for granted: the recording.

As we face the rise of generative AI, the arguments of the past, that machine-made art is "soulless," "artificial," and "fake",are returning with a vengeance. By looking back at how the world reacted to the first "recorded" sounds, we might find a path forward that preserves the most valuable part of art: human presence.

I worked really hard to put this together, took about 20-24 hours of my time to Research, Cross Reference, Think of Assets, Generate Assets, Refine Generations, edit it all together in Adobe and about 50 dollars in credits spread across gemini, OpenArt, Suno, EllevenLabs

Lets give this a shot, if it works it will be a regular thing! Lay down whatever suits your fancy.

Only one rule: If you submit, you HAVE to give feedback on another song.

Obviously breaking this rule will result in some kind of ritual curse process. TBD

human, machine, or something in between?

I'm not saying if it doesn't fall under human, it's bad. Not at all. I'm just saying there needs to be some line where that is.

It's the first step to end the great ai/musician wars of the last few years
