Pie and AI, a delicious combination.
I love experimenting with the latest AI tools like Midjourney and Chat GPT. And as a musician, I was intrigued by the AI music generation tool Suno. It allows you to plug in your own lyrics, create specific prompts for music styles and then create a finished song.
As the holidays approached this year, I had an idea to create a holiday album for our client Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop. Their brand is the perfect blend of classic and modern stylings. So for the album, I wrote the lyrics to new holiday classics like Holiday Pie Coma, Eating My Feelings, I Wish I Was A Pie, and many more.
While it sounds as simple as pressing a button, believe me it was a lot of work wrangling this new AI tool. I did all the writing, had to spend lots of time crafting the right prompts, and then I had to edit together the audio to piece together the best working parts from some of the iterations. I also created the imagery we used to promote the idea with Midjourney. Check out some of my favorite parts, pieces and songs below.
Holiday Pie Coma
Ever wanted to hear a Henry Mancini-inspired orchestral holiday song about the overstuffed, pie-induced food comas that happen around the holidays? This is your chance.
This is another throwback to the retro jazz holiday albums from the distant past with a song about pie being perfect or any holiday moment. Eat it while you dance. Eat it and don’t wear pants. You do you.
Pie Anytime
Ok. Let’s face it. The holidays can be a little stressful, and even a little depressing sometimes. But hey, eating a little pie can go a long way to making you feel a little better about it all.
