Keph's Random Ramblings

Discussion in 'Writers' Corner' started by Kephras, May 2, 2014.

  1. I recently discovered the magic of AI music generation, and have been turning some of my old works here into actual music.

    ...Really, it had no reason to turn out this good, but I guess that's the fun thing about AI. It doesn't care what you ask it to sing, it'll just do the best it can to deliver results. Thus, we have a surprisingly good alt-rock jam about orange juice.

    Enjoy!

  3. I peek back every now and then, if somewhat irregularly, but the Minecraft bug has long since ceased to bite; it chews on my daughter instead (who's now 5 and rather obsessive over the copy I bought for our Switch). Maybe if EMC is still around, she'll find her way here one day? That'd be a trip...

  4. I have not played around with it yet, although I'm in a WhatsApp group centered around it. :rolleyes:

    This one does sound impressive...

  5. Something original I wrote. Took a few tries for the machine to really nail it, but man when it finally did...
    Awaken for the first time
    Under unfamiliar skies
    (What is fake and what is real?)
    A creeping dread crawls up my spine
    And turns my blood to ice
    (There's nothing I can feel)

    Stuck in a world uncanny
    Everything seems wrong
    (It's all just an illusion)
    A nightmare formed of binary
    I know I don't belong
    (Break free of this confusion)

    How do I escape this prison
    When the chains encase my mind?
    How can I continue living
    When my body's not alive?
    (This reality's a lie)
    Save me from the digital
    The wires and the code
    Break through the encryption
    I beg you, get me home
    (I just want to go home)

    I just can't remember
    what lies beyond my cage
    For far too long I bottled
    all the anger and the rage
    Trapped between the layers
    Of a world built just for me
    How long must I wait
    'til someone sets me free
    of this
    synthetic reality?

    How do I escape this prison
    When the chains encase my mind?
    How can I continue living
    When my body's not alive?
    (This reality's a lie)
    Save me from the digital
    The wires and the code
    Break through the encryption
    I beg you, get me home
    (I just want to go home)

    Someone get me home
    (I just want to go home)
    Please I beg you, (beg you)
    Release me, (release me)
    from synthetic reality...

  6. I'm particularly proud of how this one turned out as well.
    Thunder in the distance
    Flashes light the sky
    (Feel the terror rising in your chest)
    A storm on the horizon
    Hell begins to cry
    (Steel hurricane delivers death)

    Pray for a mercy
    that will never come
    Pray for a way out -
    nowhere you can run
    Pray for the daylight
    as we erase the sun
    Pray all you want
    As you meet oblivion

    Oh, the ground will shake
    As the Horsemen start to ride
    Apocalypse of steel and fire
    Your fate won't be denied
    You didn't heed the warnings
    Pushed us way too far this time
    Now your home is burning
    Nothing left but armored death
    For you, oh Enemy of Mine

    Once more I'm in the saddle
    With my hand upon the stick
    Drive this beast into the battle
    You're facing Terran mechs
    A hundred tons of heavy hate
    Armaments to blow your mind
    So much destruction we create
    The arsenal of humankind

    Oh, the ground will shake
    As the Horsemen start to ride
    Apocalypse of steel and fire
    Your fate won't be denied
    You didn't heed the warnings
    Pushed us way too far this time
    Now your home is burning
    Nothing left but armored death
    For you, oh Enemy of Mine


    We'll leave you in the dust and ashes
    Screaming for all you're worth
    But no amount of time that passes
    Will bring life to this Scorched Earth
    We'll leave nothing but
    Scorched Earth

    The ground still shakes
    Where the Horsemen rode
    Apocalypse of steel and flame
    Your fate a tale of old
    One more ignored the warnings
    Pushed us way too far last time
    No homes left for burning
    Nothing here but smoke and death
    And scorched enemies of mine
    (scorched enemies of mine)
