I mean the main melody is a direct lift from that Rihanna track ā€œPlease Dont Stop The Musicā€ or whatever its called. I canā€™t stand AI videos/art and honestly, Iā€™m not convinced the music isnt AI either as a result of the video. Something to consider.

it sounds so incredibly generic.

Nothing else? :joy:

@AndreaChiglien Wasnā€™t the music generated by AI?
If this was created by a human, it would be amazing in a way, and I am a little curious.

The dynamics and timbre are a little static, terrible AI video aside, Iā€™m glad people are bringing trance back

Hi, thanks for listening to my song. Iā€™m really happy to talk about music and answer questions and curiosities. as you can see, in fact, I have not responded to the provocations and poisons of people who have no content, and spit poison for no reason. but letā€™s get to the song, flap of Wings was written by a well-known Sicilian conductor and closing the trilogy of trance songs released for Gothic records limited. the three videos were created with a mix of 3D/ai/photo editor, and assembled with Sony Vegas. unfortunately, there are no big budgets for making videos and I preferred to animate it rather than put a static image in the center (you may like it or not, no problem).

@AndreaChiglien Thanks. Below is a question out of my mild curiosity.
If you can answer it, I would be glad to know.

Q1.

Did you really create the music yourself? Did you really create it yourself, using only Renoise?

Q2.

What is the basis for this?

Yes :hugs:, I use trackerā€™s from 90ā€™, my first is MED on Amiga ( sorry for my bad English). Usually I use Renoise and vst and hardware . For the exclamation ā€œhitā€, the first print of vinyl is sold out in preorder and the previous songs are on top 100 of most downloaded trance song .

Why shoudnā€™t he be able to create that kind of music by using a tracker? Isnā€™t a tracker like Renoise the very best for creating electronic dance music of any kind? What makes you guys think that it could be AI generated music, do you really hear anything special thatā€™s ā€œtoo complicatedā€ for being created by a human? Isnā€™t this song a typical Trance song like many others? What about popular artists who are also using Renoise like for example Mitch Murder, do you assume itā€™s AI generated music, too, just because itā€™s well composed and produced (which is not the case in case of AI generated music)? Everybody could produce that kind of stuff in Renoise. Itā€™s not the fault of good producers that there are also ā€œbadā€ producers that are using the same gear, right?

I saw that you released some vinyl on discogs, I just donā€™t like your music.
However, you should still try to make something yourself without the use of AI.
People used to put a lot of effort into music videos (Oribital, Afx, Talking Heads, Etc,) and now when people use AI for album covers or videos and stuff, nobody takes it seriously because it lacks humanity and completely takes the listeners focus away from your music and onto the video.

Imagine if this song had an AI video, nobody would give them the time of day.

But if you want people to focus only on the music, a static image would likely be better for that.

I am simply asking out of mild curiosity, which is certainly a bit amusing, but I also feel that if it clears up some vague doubts that others may be feeling as well, then itā€™s not such a bad thing.
Sorry if I have offended anyone.

I see. I think I am beginning to read the situation a little better.
The song Andrea Chiglien e Piero Zeta feat. Linares - FLAP OF WINGS is a song that you made with a non-Renoise 90ā€™s tracker (which tracker what is it?). You have made a vinyl record with that song, and the first edition was sold out at the pre-order stage?

Since I do not speak English either, I am conversing through a translation service.
If you translate simple expressions in your native language into English using deepl or other translation services, you may be able to communicate more smoothly.

Q3.

I couldnā€™t find it on discogs, when and where was it released?
https://www.discogs.com/search/?q=FLAP+OF+WINGS

Q4.

How many first editions were sold out?

Q5.

What is the song?

Q6.

What can I refer to to verify that these above are true?


No, I just felt that from my point of view, that simple, ā€œnot too complicatedā€ expression, like that trance dance music template, was AI-like. However, I donā€™t think it is desirable to make such assumptions, which is why I asked the question about the question I felt. Isnā€™t that what dialogue is all about?
And the answers seem to be gradually becoming clearer now.

Any kind of video or cover art has nothing to do with the music, whether itā€™s AI generated or made by human. I can only speak for myself, but personally I give a shit about videos and cover art. Itā€™s about the music only, everything else is an accessory, which is irrelevant when it comes to the music, especially in case of electronic dance music. Yes, there are some ā€œhistoricalā€ famous cover arts, but on one hand it didnā€™t improve the music at all and on the other hand no one is thinking about cover arts or videos while listening or even dancing to music, right?

He wrote that he started creating music in the 90s by using OctaMED on Amiga, whereas the current songs were created in Renoise, and heā€™s using VSTs and hardware, too.

Iā€™m also generally interested in seeing some global download charts regardless of the genre. Andrea must be referring to other charts than these charts:
Beatport Top 100 Trance charts
Juno Trance charts

Oh, thatā€™s right. I guess I wasnā€™t reading the context. Thanks for letting me know.

I havenā€™t figured out Q3 and Q4 yet,
But, hmmm, well, I kind of get it.
A lot of people probably needed your music.
I donā€™t care if it was similar to others.
I just thought it was interesting that it was manually created by a human being.

truth be told, i wanna hear this track now because thereā€™s so much of this ā€œoh it must not have been created by a human beingā€ pushback.
iā€™m not expecting to be blown away or anything, i have a firm notion of what standard trance will sound like, but this whole backā€™nā€™forth just makes me curious.

To be fair, my main observation was that the awful AI video could lead to people doubting the authenticity of the music itself - a worry that was reinforced for me by the similarity of the main riff being so close to a Rihanna song I am aware of - happy to be proven wrong however. Nothing about the music suggests it is beyond human ability, more so that it felt like an amalgam of a lot of other ideas and could pass for AI generated. As I say, happy to be wrong.
