Was that vocal in English? It was pretty but I honestly could not understand a word. I have a musical hobby similar to yours, but flipped. I write songs and I can sing, but don’t really play any instruments. I would love to be able to generate accompaniments!

So very cool! I can’t wait to try kits.AI

I actually went the opposite direction in one of my recent recordings, using only organic instruments including an empty water bottle and a Turkish Cümbüs made from a rice kettle. It’s the only version of the Rolling Stones classic tune Paint it Black where you will hear a bedsprings solo!

Always interesting. As someone who is pretty into music from grassroots, non-commercial artists and scenes more broadly, I read a lot of expectation in this, perhaps your own but I think a big forecast of mainstream opinion. Nevertheless, I'm glad you get a sense of satisfaction from this, and I couldn't agree more with you on hobbies. I see these things as the real fabric of the human experience, to eschew the alienation so prevalent in our existence to engage in activities with sincerity. I'm also curious for you to expand on your use of 'ambition' in this piece.
