No, I don't use AI to write music

Not even a little bit. Only in rendering out the Sibelius scores. Everything else is done via mechanical processes (reversing, pitch-shifting). There's no generative AI of any kind being used. That's why it's good. I don't auto-tune the voices. What I sang is what you hear. People have spent years attempting to discredit me, but I'm a fully capable musician. They just find it hard to accept that a transvestite part-Māori is a genius.

For the trivia nerds: I improvised the keyboard part for Moments Flow. All of Amanda Michelina 2 was essentially me overdubbing myself or Sibelius exports. No, I didn't use any tools to create Crying To Myself. I can produce vocal multiphonics. Feedback and reverb enhanced it, but my voice is special, as it produces Māori tones.

If people had been willing to work on my VFX post-Riddell Productions, then I wouldn't have needed to use AI to generate the VFX. It was a necessity which worked out well.
