• “What on earth is this??”It’s a Toto(?) album that doesn’t exist!Did it come from a dream?An alternate reality?Is there a difference?something something electric sheep / living in a simulation / what is consciousness…

• “Oh…kaaaay… so, what is this really?”A fun experiment in AI-generated music! Each track that makes up this album was generated from start to finish by an artificial intelligence trained on over a million songs across various musical genres, with no musical or lyrical prompting provided by me except that its output should be in the style of the band Toto.

• “So an AI did all the work?”Far from it! Despite the music being 100% AI-generated, my creative direction played a fundamental role in the sound of the finished product. I built each track incrementally through a process of randomly generating a large number of 4-second-long alternative continuations, then selecting the version that appealed to me the most and repeating the steps from that point – essentially, navigating an infinitely-branching tree of musical possibilities (spoilers: most of those possibilities are ugly, nonmusical nonsense). This was a painstaking process – left purely to its own devices, the AI would have been exceedingly unlikely to produce results as intentional and coherent as what you are hearing. That is why I credit myself as co-composer.

• “Did you do anything else with the audio after the AI generated it?”Aside from some judicious trims and fades at the boundaries of tracks, I have not edited the audio for content, resequencing, etc. – everything you hear came directly from the AI! I did put considerable effort into making the end product sound as high-quality as possible, however. The finalized audio of each track consists of a blend of several alternative AI-powered upsamplings of the original low-quality generated audio, mixed in a manner that maximizes clarity and provides a pseudo-stereo effect. The resulting tracks were mastered for uniformity across the album.
