I try AI. My, my.

Hi, all:

In 2022, when my wife and I decided the financial situation was optimal for us to close and sell our theatre building, it left me with a handful of unproduced scripts that are still looking for their first production.

One of the most ambitious is a musical called The Diaries of Adam & Eve.

It's a 4-person show, with two playing Adam and Eve and the other two playing everybody else. Oh, and a 5-piece rock band.

The reason for this post is, without having a recording of a live production, I couldn't post good renditions of the songs in the show. Any 'computer singers' available in 2019 (the Dark Ages) were poor at best.

Until now.

New AI programs are allowing some very convincing vocalists to be created in software. The one I'm using is called ACE STUDIO. Don't get me wrong: it's a long way from replacing humans as real singers, but it's good enough for a demo track. It still needs the script or a score to follow along with as a few of the lyrics are still hard to understand without that aid.

I've just posted demo versions of all the vocal numbers on the Diaries of Adam & Eve page here: https://playsfromdavidjacklin.ca/the...am-and-eve.php.

Scroll down past the original drawings from Mark Twain's 1904 publication (yep, Mark Twain) and read a bit about the show. Then click on the link at the bottom to go to the music page. Call up the script or piano/vocal score from the links on that page first (they open in new windows).

SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS HAVE TO DO WITH COMPOSER? Despite AI using the Cloud to create the voices, every number began life in Notation Composer -- and the score(s) were created in and published to PDF from Composer.

Have a listen and have some fun.
