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.

Has it ever occurred to you that people would respect me on the set if you did your job and told them to listen to the transvestite director rather than spreading bogus rumours? Unfortunately for you

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.
