#musicrelease — Public Fediverse posts

Omg, the release of my upcoming album gets closer and closer.
Inlay for track notes and greetings is almost finished!

And yeah, I do those final steps in Libre Office - works for me.

Btw. The release could have been happened ahead like 3 months ago, if I just would use AI for doing cover art. Just prompt what I want. Done. Easy.

But not me. I'm not the type. I'm not the guy who is yelling about not using AI in his music and then doing some cheap cover AI slop. It's a question of honor, it's a question of responsibility, it's a question of fairness, it's also about caring for the future by not normalizing something that shouldn't be "shoulder shrug"-normal at all today: Generative AI.

While trying hard using Gimp and Inkscape and during the process throwing away my early drafts multiple times it also happened that I changed tiny bits of my music (for the better I hope) to get closer to the vision I have. It's a wholesome experience - at least if there are no imminent deadlines, like in my case.

Also the final and most elaborated teaser video for the release is finished now... (not published yet)

This week I'll have to prepare my next radio show mainly, next week I'm part of the orga team of #fediAmSee / @[email protected] (check it out!) but after that, end of August, the Album Release gets serious!

Stay tuned!
