G’day guys & girls,

Somewhere along the lines I read on a thread (I now can’t find) a suggestion by a member that an update of the 1987 C’mon Demons tune would be a good idea.

As a music producer, amongst other media making roles, I had it in mind to tackle an original update to the tune. Lo and behold, over my post NY break I took to producing some tracks to experiment with AI. Yep I know! Many of us in the music industry are either embracing the tech or sh*t scared of how music will be/is evolving.

Anyways, I’m after some feedback on a medley of tunes which are in effect an homage to the C’mon Demons release of ’87. Utilising the old track as a ref, the original lyrics and directed prompting.

So if anyone has the time or inclination checkout the demo (only) mix link.

BTW, if anything appeals to the likes of the podcast team i.e to replace the ol’ opening tune let me know and I can put some real polish on what is essentially a rough mix. FYI, I have forwarded a submission to the club for any reaction. I personally would like to see, in an ideal world, a collection along these themes with a group of singers from the club and the fan-base - to produce a complication. Potentially exploring a wider array of music genres celebrating the club and fan-base in song.

In all there are about 7 music tracks/segments presented as a medley. Be warned the mix is loud and in-your-face. But hey sports anthems and the likes are designed to be.

I hope you get some enjoyment, if you take some time out to have a listen.

Not bad! Will have a proper listen later but there's plenty to work with there.

Good to see that you're having a go with the AI and seeing what it can offer.

Another lifetime ago I was in the scene myself and an amateur song writer/arrangement maker. I still do it as a hobby occasionally. This AI stuff is a real love-hate thing because I've always really appreciated the craft of songwriting/sound design/mixing and mastering and love seeing a professional do it. After 15 - 20 years of in and off music making I have a hard drive somewhere with around 100 ideas and arrangements and of those, about a dozen completed songs. Yet these programs come along and produce in a click what took me weeks, months and sometimes years of work! On the flip side it has proven to be a way to get ideas down much quicker and help prevent the writer's block. I am worried about what it means for the industry but we'll just have to see how it develops.

Will give it a proper listen today 🙂

Well done on putting this together. I got a Stone Roses - Fools Gold vibe in the opening, which was short lived and then felt like you'd taken us to Revolver at 3am. I think the lyrics need to be more pronounced. It doesn't appeal to me. It doesn't really feel contemporary at all. Kind of lacks flow and wouldn't really rev up a crowd imho. Respect the effort though

I'm not sure it would rev up the crowd, I think it needs something with a bit more emotion. Something Springsteen Ish echoing resilience and hope.

Something like this. Addicted to the Red and the Blue ==> https://youtu.be/QVTCinojCI8
