Caught Staring

Acoustic, electric, ambient, soundscape, instrumental...maybe a little shoe-gaze...

I'm basically a solo act. I do mostly instrumentals - my lyrics are 'undeveloped', and I don't sing very well (less so as I get older!). At first I was doing a lot of studio time, then more live & open-mic thing, now back to studio. With the lack of performance opportunities, I've gotten back toward songwriting and recording, which is very gratifying, though I admit I really like performing!

In the Streets Tonight

Mike The Guy Who Likes A.I.

The name is self-explanatory.

I came up with this artist name on a whim when Suno insisted that I create one. I use this alter ego of sorts to differentiate my AI-generated music from my other recording hobbies. I used Chat GPT to make the lyrics and then ran them through Suno to turn them into music. Some of my songs required manually combining parts of different generative attempts in order to get the finished song.
