MATT1993:
Here's some random things I've been meaning to show you:
https://jukebox.openai.com/ - AI-generated music in the style of various artists, or even combinations of two artists' styles! Sadly there are no examples with either video game music or Enya - the two I most wanted to combine. But there's several examples with Céline Dion, and a Moya Brennan one and a Sarah McLachlan one, so I'm happy about that :)
Guess what??? There's FINALLY an online interface for an API similar to this except it actually lets you generate your own music instead of just listening to pre-generated songs! (well, supposedly there's a way to do so with the other one too but it seemed a lot more complicated to set up compared to this) AND it lets you put in an arbitrary MIDI file to start from! And there's a LOT of genres to choose from, including not just video game music in general but also Nintendo specifically, AND a lot of individual artists including Enya!

This means I can finally hear Mario music in Enya's style!! Or, inversely, Enya music in the style of... well, Nintendo music in general or video game music in general because there's not an option for just Mario. But good enough!
I'm so ecstatic that the insanely specific mashup that only I have ever wanted to hear is finally possible with AI. :P
In other news, I know I haven't posted much lately but don't worry, I'm feeling much better in general than I was over the past couple of years. I know some of my posts from that era were pretty heavy but don't worry, my mental health has been a lot better as of late. It helps that society is actually starting to care more about mental health now, and less about making people feel bad about themselves for not wanting the changes to last forever or being bad at following the guidelines. And I no longer have to worry that most things may never return to the way they were before the pandemic because, well, right now life for me is already a lot more similar to life before the pandemic than I ever expected it to be.
The only thing I'm really unhappy with as of late is... my journal. I keep thinking about stupid things I've written years ago (most of which I thought at the time were better than something I'd written prior, but... they really weren't) and worrying that future entries will be like them. I feel like there's only a few people who would still like me if they saw ALL, or even half, of the things I've posted on LiveJournal.
