I began with a field recording from traveling in Kochi: a tuk‑tuk idling, not performing, just breathing in place. Inside that rough, everyday sound I heard a stubborn groove — a syncopated pulse that felt less like traffic and more like a drumline hiding in plain sight.

I let AI excavate the motor from the recording, not to sterilize it, but to reveal its inner rhythm. The machine’s “punches” emerged as layered time: a fast chug and a slower accent, a beat nested inside a beat. That mechanical pattern became my score.

Next I translated the engine into percussion. Using three drum samples, AI rebuilt the tuk‑tuk’s timing as a playable composition: one hit for the rapid pulse, one for the accents, one for the heavy downbeats. The piece begins as documentary sound — the motor alone — then the drums fade in like a second reality arriving. For a while both worlds coexist, braided together. After second 25, the field recording dissolves in beat‑synced fades, leaving a more regular, dance‑leaning groove. Near the end, the motor returns like a ghost reentering its own story, and the track closes with a grand finale.

Visually, I anchored everything to a single image and pushed it through an AI‑driven psychedelic lens: posterized color, trippy rainbow shifts, motion locked to the beat. The title — “Mythical / Tuktuk / Beats” — sits centered inside a dark blue‑purple panel, its fractal edges blooming on the strongest hits, turning sound into a living frame.

A small act of alchemy: Kochi’s street‑engine becomes rhythm, rhythm becomes vision, and the everyday becomes myth — made entirely through AI, guided by my listening.
