This is what happened when I woke up with Worf Voice.
The Klingon Files
I woke up with a distinct case of Worf Voice:
Of course, it sounded better to me due to bone conduction, but still…
Naturally, recording some of his best lines became a moral imperative:
Sadly, I had to interrupt my fun to head over to the main campus; however, when I got there, I happened to walk up behind a guy who was wearing a very heavy tool belt…
Life is amazing.

What if… Love?
While my parents were supportive of me and my brother, they were in some ways abusive. I largely understand why because I know quite a bit about what had happened to them; in comparison, I know that some people have grown up enjoying very constructive relationships with their parents, or so they tell me, and I have no reason to doubt them.
Simiarly, I am who I am, and would not wish away my divergence; nonetheless, I also sometimes wonder what it might have been like to have grown up not quite so different… maybe even just 2 or 3 standard deviations instead of 5 or 6.
I do not wish that my life had actually been different, as this specific path has led to joys and wonders that I would not risk changing (as in the movie About Time); however, I still mull over the possibilities, as that can inform decisions about my navigation into the future.
Taken all together, I wonder how love might have been different in my life, and – more improtantly – how it might be different.
Currently, you can’t make minor changes to lyrics in Suno without generating a whole new song, so I ended up with two similar versions that differed mostly in terms of their lead vocalist. The first is the one with the more conventionally feminine voice:
And this one has a more typically masculine lead, and seems to have a more cohesive feel to it:
Here are the lyrics.
Pshymmer
I created some “shimmer psychedelic” songs on Suno without providing any lyrics (with two very minor exceptions), and just let the hallucination do its thing. I named the songs after what I heard in the chorus. After that, I processed in Logic Pro X.
Because my phone and computer are far out of sync, I needed another way to turn this set of songs into a playlist that I could access in my car (which is an acoustic bath environment). So I officially copyrighted the material, selected a distributor (TuneCore), signed up with a performing rights organization (BMI), and so forth.
Today I bought my album on iTunes for $10.
Problem solved.
My way. :-)
The album is also available on YouTube, Spotify, Pandora, and so on. Click the album cover for the YouTube link (i.e., listen for free).
One song offered up no lyrics, but seemed to profile the bassline very nicely, so I fed it one lyric: ‘bass’. The AI then provided “…for your face,” which I think is marvelous.
Another one that had no lyrics, but which I wanted to save just because I liked the music, made me feel “skip and shout.” so I fed that to the AI just as a kind of decorative detail.
