Authentic
Represents work created primarily with traditional methods, without relying on AI to generate significant content.
Authentic Music: All instrumental parts (guitars, keyboards, drums, etc.) are either performed live by me or programmed manually. Vocals are fully performed and recorded by me. While loops, samples, and effects are used, all songs were produced traditionally.
Authenic Artwork: Created entirely through direct input and traditional skills. This includes illustration, painting, or designing using physical tools like pencils, ink, and paints, or digitally through software like Photoshop, Illustrator, Procreate, and Cinema 4D. Though some of these tools provide enhancements, filters, and effects, all visual elements originate from traditional skills and decisions.
Synthetic
Represents music, artwork, or writing created in collaboration with AI tools, where AI played a significant role in generating the final output. These works are crafted through meticulous prompt engineering and hands-on refinement, with AI serving as an advanced tool to realize my creative vision.
Synthetic Music: The core of each track—lyrics, themes, and stylistic direction—is prompted and directed by me. I often provide AI software like Suno.AI with music samples to illustrate how I want the sound to evolve. Rather than allowing the AI to generate freely, I maintain tight creative control, ensuring the final piece reflects my original intent, with AI serving as a tool to extend my capabilities. I often edit outputs in traditional skills and tools such as Apple Logic and Adobe Audition to further refine until the song is finished.
Synthetic Artwork: These pieces are created using AI tools like Midjourney, DALL-E, and Runway ML, but the direction and creative concept originate from me. I enter the process with a specific idea and stylistic reference, iterating through advanced prompting techniques and refining results until they align precisely with the vision I have in my mind. While AI generates the visual elements, my role is to guide it meticulously—shaping, tweaking, and selecting until the final work fully represents what I intended. I use additional software, such as Photoshop, to make further edits when necessary, enhancing the output from AI and adding finishing touches to ensure it meets my standards.
