 I always enjoy deep conversation. Lately, the topic of AI seems to hum everywhere. Most are baffled at how fast things are happening. How quickly the AI is getting better.
As musicians and artists, we often talk about how many of our former opportunities are disappearing due to the ease of use of AI. We easily foresee human-written jingles, movie or television programming cues (those are the little bits of music that appear underneath the storyline), making the humans, who formerly based a great deal of their income on having these unique skills, obsolete.

 When I was a little girl, I loved horses. I would ride whenever I got the chance. I even helped train and break them in for riding. I volunteered at stables and the local riding school just to be close to them. Our family could never afford to own one (or even co-own one). I participated in 4H and learned everything I could about these magnificent creatures. And since I am also drawn to the arts, even as a child, I would draw horse after horse, as anatomically correctly as I possibly could.
 Mixing music and painting is not at all uncommon. I have been to several events where an artist paints while a musical act performs. My friend Olivia Brownlee blends her talents of drawing and music (and even poetry) into a unique concept of collaboration and art. It has never felt like a straightforward venture to combine all my talents into one artsy direction, but now that I am stepping back a bit from music and stepping into my visual art, I will explore this idea. That's not to say it will ever be "my thing", but I will not dismiss it out of hand.
Being the kind of person who has several creative outlets, I have often been faced with the dilemma of how to consolidate all those different aspects of my creativity. I don't necessarily consider myself the quintessential "jack of all trades, master of none" although one could argue that it is impossible to be an expert at that many crafts.
Whichever statement may be true, I do not wish to confuse anyone on the receiving end of my output. Trust me; there are many ways to be confusing when you wear many hats. |
