Release of album Odes to My Triceratops, Vol. 2

On By Jon UreñaIn Arte, Escritura, Inteligencia artificial, Música

Back in 2021, during a blessed period of unemployment, I wrote the strange tale of amateur songwriter William Griffin, his love interest slash next-door neighbor Claire Javernick, and their pal Lorenzo, who is inexplicably a sentient triceratops. They spent their growing years in a nowhere-town that William can’t imagine ever leaving. Through this project of producing the songs contained in that story by exploiting the revolutionary AI service Udio, I had to rewrite plenty of songs or even ditch them altogether, but I felt that at the core was a poignant tale of a passionate if misguided young man too raw for this broken world.

In this volume of the four that will contain his story, the trio have left behind their tween years, and are now full-blown hormonal teenagers. Expect rage, rebellion, sexual urges, weird cravings, and a twist toward the end that will constitute the turning point of William’s story.

A 34-song, two hours-long wild ride of an album, one of my favorite creations. I know some of you have downloaded individual songs belonging to this album before (it appears in the stats), but I urge you to download the whole thing anyway, because I’ve tinkered with the sound levels, and fixed minor other stuff.

I wouldn’t have been able to produce these songs if it weren’t for the magnificent AI service Udio.
