1st August 2026
It was a grey day, rain was forecast intermittently, and we had the shopping to do.
Holland city had decided that the roads needed resurfacing, meaning that most routes had diversions. There is never a good time of year to do this work, so everyone has a moan about it, for me, well, take it easy, no rush.
We did our task, it didn’t take longer, we got what we needed ,and headed back.
The dogs were waiting, they were glad to see us. Winnie, now weighing forty two pounds, is a formidable animal, when she jumps on you it’s like being hit by a bag of cement.
They are excited to see what is in the bags, just in case there is food for them.
I spent a couple of hours in the music room working on three songs that Matt, Kelli’s brother had written using AI. As I have said, I am not really a fan of it, because it can seduce people into a false state of creativity. But Matt is a talented guy, some of the best songs I have recorded have been his, and I have been trying desperately to convince him to write again.
My aim is to use these AI examples to recreate them with real instruments and using his real voice. I hope this will kick his ass into gear and get his own creativity back.
