1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Get Commanda, don't get supremely Da Megzi coming.

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, welcome here. It is the podcast version of

3
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:18,320
Matt Connorton Unleashed, and it is oh No, November eleventh,

4
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,199
twenty twenty five. I'm used to doing this on Saturday morning,

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,320
but we do occasionally do the podcast version when we

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:26,239
have something special. And of course if you are streaming

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,480
the show live, also I should say Happy Veterans Day.

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,199
My father is a veteran, so I don't want to

9
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:33,000
forget that, and of course thank you to everyone who

10
00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:35,960
has served our country and Veterans Day very very important.

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,560
And we have joining us today right now. It is

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,399
a little bit before six pm in the Eastern time

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,359
zone and Eddie Singh is with us live on the podcast.

14
00:00:46,359 --> 00:00:50,119
Hello Eddie, Hi, how you doing. Matt very well. I'm

15
00:00:50,119 --> 00:00:51,920
excited to talk to you, as you know, you know

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,359
we talked the other day and I was dying to

17
00:00:55,399 --> 00:00:58,439
have you on the show because well, we should start.

18
00:00:58,439 --> 00:01:00,560
I guess we should start with what you're doing currently, right,

19
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,399
and maybe we can kind of work our way backwards

20
00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:05,680
a little bit. But you've got this great new release

21
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:08,599
and let me get this this. This picture is so

22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,319
cool too. This album artwork. Of course it's American Split,

23
00:01:13,359 --> 00:01:17,000
but it's actually American Split. AI is officially the name

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:17,959
of the album, right.

25
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: Correct, correct, because the original I had an original album

26
00:01:21,519 --> 00:01:25,159
two years ago that was released on January sixth, twenty

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:31,640
twenty three, with intention for the date, you know, symbolic intention,

28
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:36,120
and I've yeah, I've remade the album using AI tools

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,000
and I've really pleased with the results, and it's it's

30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,719
really helped my vision come alive for all the songs.

31
00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: So part of what is so interesting about this, well,

32
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,599
there's there's many things that are interesting to me about it.

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,359
But and the album is great. So the original album

34
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,280
is great and you can hear it on the website,

35
00:01:55,719 --> 00:02:00,000
excuse me, but but the AI version is even better

36
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:04,040
and and it's to me, it was kind of interesting

37
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:07,799
to sort of compare and contrast the two because I

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,240
actually heard the new version first, because you had sent

39
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,439
me the entire album, the AI version, and then I

40
00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:15,840
went back to the website and it was for me

41
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,520
hearing the AI version first, it was almost like the

42
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:22,439
like the original version, It's almost like hearing the demos

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,039
of of of what the final product is. But I

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,599
like the you know, but so the original versions obviously

45
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,240
are a bit more raw in that sense, but I

46
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:33,400
like them both. But one of the things that we

47
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:36,800
discuss a lot on the program is AI and it's

48
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,120
impact on AI and all sorts of creative arts, but

49
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:44,560
especially in music. It's really interesting to me and and

50
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:46,479
to our audience and a lot of our audience as

51
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,680
people in the industry too. So it's it's something that

52
00:02:48,719 --> 00:02:52,360
directly affects everyone. But but the things that you can

53
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,400
do and what you've done, and we should be very

54
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,680
clear about this for our audience too. It's not like

55
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,400
you know, you didn't. You didn't just put a bunch

56
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,199
of prompts in to Suno or something and create these songs.

57
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:07,080
You made the songs first, but then you used AI

58
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,719
to kind of change and enhance them, And I'm curious

59
00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:12,159
to know more about that process.

60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,479
Speaker 3: It was it was the highlight of my life, taking

61
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,599
making Americans Split AI, but taking so many of my

62
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,159
old songs that were just me and a guitar or

63
00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:27,039
me and a piano that I literally recorded on my

64
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:31,199
phone and then use the tools I did use Suno,

65
00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:34,560
so I'd feed it in, I'd feed in the lyrics

66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,439
so and then you have adjuster so you can make

67
00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:40,360
it sound more like you or less like you. Yeah,

68
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,159
mostly you have to type in precisely what you want.

69
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:48,560
So whenever I write a song, I always hear the

70
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:50,400
full version in my head.

71
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,439
Speaker 2: Yeah.

72
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: This was just really just luxury that I now can

73
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,639
you know, have the ability to say, all right, I

74
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,680
want to extra percussion here, I want a walking bassline here,

75
00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:06,560
I want a female singer to do harmony on a

76
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,599
specific section. And that's what I did with American Split AI.

77
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,439
I fed the original album in, went song by song

78
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,879
and spent hours and hours. I mean, it wasn't like,

79
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,199
you know, I just pressed the button. Yeah, you can't

80
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:22,480
do that with Suno, and it's it's a great tool

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,720
for that. But I really think with there, they now

82
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:29,639
have a production studio where you can manipulate all the

83
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,800
stems and you know, really get to work at it.

84
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:37,360
So I use that as well. And I was just

85
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,360
really pleased with and I recognize that, you know, AI

86
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,920
is like, you know, it's kind of like the Boogeyman

87
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:48,240
for for musicians and for performers. Now, uh and and

88
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,439
with good reason. I'm I'm very into AI. I'm getting

89
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:57,759
a phone call very into AI in general and the

90
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,920
whole Edny sing grew out of an AI concept. He

91
00:05:03,079 --> 00:05:06,720
grew out of this game called Scaped in Fronted where

92
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:10,319
Eddie Singh comes back from the future as you can

93
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,319
see from the picture, to save humanity from the rabots spiders,

94
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,360
who are an AI platform that is rewriting the Internet.

95
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,959
And this was again, I mean, the album was a

96
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,639
long time in the making. It came out in two

97
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,639
thousand and three, but I've been working on it for

98
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,839
years and so to actually see, like have the AI

99
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,759
catch up to the storyline, it just seems like the

100
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,319
perfect time to utilize those tools. The ray Bat spiders

101
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:44,600
are basically changing the Internet and giving machines and bots

102
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,439
credit for where where humans used to have it. Like,

103
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,680
that's the storyline.

104
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: That's interesting, kind of changing history in a sense. I'm

105
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,480
fascinated too by you know, and I think I said

106
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,319
this to you on the phone too. It's prophetic, right

107
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:03,399
you because you this originally two thousand and three is

108
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:05,160
when you came up with this concept, right.

109
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was back in the day. The truth is

110
00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:12,560
Eddie Singh is the mastermind. My real name is Brian Mannix,

111
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,959
and I used to be a teacher and I developed

112
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,319
this game called scaped in FROMPTED which means create your

113
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,839
future in Danish, and it was an alternate reality game

114
00:06:22,959 --> 00:06:25,120
for education and it was played in like over one

115
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:28,079
hundred and forty countries around the world. And I got,

116
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,560
you know, some awards for some of the stuff I

117
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:35,160
did with that, and it was really attached to like

118
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,680
social studies and having the students go and check primary sources.

119
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,439
So I like altered a bunch of sites and put

120
00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:46,279
up some fake stuff and then we have clues and

121
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:48,120
hopefully in a couple of weeks, this is all going

122
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:51,879
to be digital. Because the first album had the cover

123
00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:55,120
of it was was the board game and that led

124
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,920
you into the arg and now it's just going to

125
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:03,160
be like Shazami the songs and getting clues and challenges

126
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:03,680
and stuff.

127
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: Well that's really cool. So this is this whole sort

128
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,759
of this sort of Eddie sing universe. It's like, it's

129
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:09,800
it's pretty amazing.

130
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,439
Speaker 3: It has because I made a video called The Story

131
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,920
of Eddie Singh Yeah, probably about ten years ago, and

132
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:22,360
it is it feels like most of the weird thing.

133
00:07:22,439 --> 00:07:22,639
Speaker 1: You know.

134
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,439
Speaker 3: My brother said, my god, it's so so odd, you know,

135
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,120
he didn't understand it all and now I feel like

136
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,720
with the Internet being half AI, now like it came true.

137
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:34,920
Almost yeah.

138
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And tell us about Eddie Sing. Tell us about

139
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:40,279
the character of Eddie Sing, because as you mentioned, you know,

140
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:45,399
you did reveal your your true identity. But who is

141
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,639
Eddie singh.

142
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,199
Speaker 3: Eddie Sing is the character that I was able to

143
00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:52,639
create and step into. Eddie Sing is a lefty. I

144
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,319
learned to play pool lefty, which was helpful and a

145
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,079
little bit of hustling once in a while, but I

146
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,439
really adopted this personality and stepped into it somewhat to

147
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:08,639
take away my nerves and to just be like a

148
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,920
ziggy stardust kind of character, you know. I mean, Bono's

149
00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:15,639
done it, Lady Gaga has done it, and I wanted

150
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,959
to create this persona who's the leader of the you know,

151
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,600
the resistance against the corruption is what we called it

152
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:27,639
in the game by the Raybot Spiders. And the whole

153
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,399
idea is that I lean with the game. On the album,

154
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,639
it's fun stuff. I mean it's a lot of it's

155
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:36,440
serious stuff, but a lot of it is just fun

156
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,639
stuff where you get to share, you know, with someone

157
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:43,240
that you love. A video on TikTok, or you need

158
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:45,799
to tell tell someone that you had an argument, that

159
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,159
you're sorry, or whatever it may be. There's literally, like

160
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:53,679
I think it's like six hundred different options within the

161
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,679
album once once the scanner thing is up and running.

162
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 2: Oh wow, we should mention too. You've just got a

163
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:06,399
really great article review in indie boulevard dot com titled

164
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:09,720
the Groundbreaking AI remake of the debut album American Split

165
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,799
by Eddy Singing in the thirty one days changes the

166
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,440
game's rules. And when I put this up on YouTube

167
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,240
after I'll drop a link to this, to this article

168
00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:22,240
in there in the description. But really really good, And

169
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,000
I mean, how do you feel like do you feel

170
00:09:25,039 --> 00:09:27,919
like a trailblazer? Do you feel like you're like like

171
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:30,960
like like or the word groundbreaking. That's a lot to

172
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,200
live up to, right, But but you are the first

173
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,360
person I've encountered in the industry who has really done

174
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,960
something this this interesting and this sort of complex.

175
00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate that. I don't know if I'm the first,

176
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,120
but you know, I've I do think outside of the box.

177
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,440
I've always been a creative thinker and someone that that

178
00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:57,559
isn't good with structures imposed on me as a teacher.

179
00:09:57,879 --> 00:10:01,600
I literally abolished grades at the school I was at

180
00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:04,159
after like a three year process of doing the research

181
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,039
and everything, and I wrote narratives for the students and

182
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,440
focused on their skills and really, you know, I had

183
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,320
like a one page thing that I would give to

184
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,320
all the students getting so that they'd get to know,

185
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,879
you know, the parents would get to know exactly what

186
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:22,480
it meant to get like a seventy seven, you know,

187
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,039
And so we abolished it. But with Eddie saying, yeah,

188
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,919
I do, I feel like it is a little cutting edge.

189
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,840
I mean the Indie Boulevard article was overwhelming, to be

190
00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:36,360
honest to read. There were so many quotes in there

191
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,639
where I was like, Wow, this is you know, I

192
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,440
was humbled and I'm excited. Yeah, I think I think

193
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,600
it is a new frontier. I think AI is a

194
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,360
tool and it depends how you use it, just like

195
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,720
you know, anything else, just like any door system, any

196
00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:56,519
vocal effects, any you know, click track timer. I mean,

197
00:10:56,519 --> 00:11:00,559
these are automated things that gradually, one by one were

198
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,279
not accepted by the industry. I think Boston made their

199
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,919
album without a click track because they were so opposed

200
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,440
to it. Right, I'm pretty sure that's the case, and

201
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,799
I think you know, little by little it does get accepted.

202
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,000
I mean this to me, is that just another huge

203
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,399
Suno and other apps like it. It's just a huge

204
00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:26,440
creative well that people can can gather and use to

205
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:29,759
really make whatever they hear in their head, which I

206
00:11:29,759 --> 00:11:32,559
think is a great service to musicians.

207
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:37,039
Speaker 2: I agree. Do you think that kind of looking at

208
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,480
it from the other side, do you think there's any

209
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,759
danger in it? Like you do you think as a

210
00:11:40,759 --> 00:11:43,559
creative person, do you feel threatened it in any way

211
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:45,840
like that you can so for example, you know, because

212
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,159
you talked about Suono, I've experienced with Suno also, I've

213
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,120
I've just but not doing anything like what you've done,

214
00:11:51,159 --> 00:11:53,440
but just putting in prompts and telling it, you know,

215
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,120
make a song about this, about these concepts in this

216
00:11:56,279 --> 00:11:59,320
style and then just seeing what it comes up with.

217
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,360
And I've been pretty impressed with what it comes out with.

218
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 3: It's really amazing. I mean I had I made, you know,

219
00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:12,840
for each song on the album, I probably made forty

220
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,080
songs and subscribed it in different ways until yeah. Right,

221
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,200
But you can make them quickly if you want, and

222
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,840
they all sound good. I mean they really the AI

223
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,080
does a great job. I again, mine was a little

224
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,759
different because it had my audio as a basis, So

225
00:12:30,799 --> 00:12:33,399
I haven't really used it for anything but that. But

226
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:35,639
I know, even if you don't have a song, if

227
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,120
you're just a poet, you could certainly put the ad

228
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:42,840
to music. But yeah, I don't. I think it's something

229
00:12:42,919 --> 00:12:44,679
that's here to stay. I don't think it's going to

230
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,879
be going away. No, but I think it is somewhat

231
00:12:47,879 --> 00:12:50,000
of a threat. I mean, it depends if it's it's

232
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,559
like anything else, if it's ethically used, if it's used

233
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,440
the right way, I think it could be really productive tool.

234
00:12:57,759 --> 00:13:02,639
Speaker 2: Exactly as you were going through this process using Suno

235
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:09,000
to enhance these songs, did any of them really like, like,

236
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,320
how surprised were you, Like, did you know going into

237
00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:16,559
going into this, going through this process, were you expecting

238
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,519
them to come out as good as they did? Or

239
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,159
were you kind of shocked?

240
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 3: I was amazed. I was amazed. I mean I was

241
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,120
literally the first time I did it, I was just like,

242
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,559
oh my god, I just I couldn't believe the sound.

243
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:33,639
And and and again, depending on how you set it up,

244
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,559
because there are a lot of different you know, sliders

245
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:41,480
and different ways to make each song you can really have.

246
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,840
You know, you can change the song entirely if you want,

247
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,600
or you can keep it almost exactly the same. There's

248
00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:51,360
a few of the songs again it's all AI, the

249
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,360
American split. AI is all AI. My my my own

250
00:13:55,399 --> 00:13:59,159
mother doesn't believe me. There's a few songs that they

251
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,559
sound so much like me. Yeah, and I get confused.

252
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,080
I'm like, is this me singing? You know? It really

253
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,039
was spot on. And then I was able to use

254
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,559
for some of the songs where I wanted a different

255
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,679
type of voice, like stand Up being one of them.

256
00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:20,679
I've absolutely loved the voice that I created using Suno

257
00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:24,039
and I just think it has this cool vibe and

258
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,840
it really adds to the song.

259
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,399
Speaker 2: So, speaking of the songs, so when when people listen

260
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:36,039
to the entire album, one thing, well, I mean you'll

261
00:14:36,039 --> 00:14:38,519
you notice it immediately, you notice it by the second song.

262
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,000
Actually that you've got a lot of different genres, sort

263
00:14:42,039 --> 00:14:45,200
of a sub genres covered here, right, because the opening track.

264
00:14:45,879 --> 00:14:47,759
So when I sat down and listen to it for

265
00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:49,960
the first time, I was surprised because the opening track

266
00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:53,679
some justice opportunity, I you know, I was like, oh,

267
00:14:53,679 --> 00:14:57,720
it's hip hop. I didn't expect this. And then but

268
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,759
really really good, like really good, you know, and then

269
00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:04,679
it gets and then it gets to the second song

270
00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:08,279
and and it's like, oh, this is a change up.

271
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:10,759
And then I wonder, I wonder if this is the

272
00:15:10,799 --> 00:15:12,519
style that the rest of the album is going to be,

273
00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:13,960
you know. And then it gets to the next song

274
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,879
and it's and and You've got a variety of of

275
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,480
genres represented here, but they're they're all really well done

276
00:15:21,639 --> 00:15:25,720
and and the album as a whole it works. You know,

277
00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:29,399
it's not because when you do something like that, you know,

278
00:15:29,639 --> 00:15:32,360
it could there's a risk to that. It could it

279
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:35,440
could seem disjointed, it could seem kind of like it's

280
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,600
all over the place, or it can all work together.

281
00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:41,720
And this album it all works together. Maybe because there's

282
00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:44,000
there's kind of a common theme behind it. I'm not sure,

283
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,919
but uh, but but it it works. It's really effective

284
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,080
and it's a if you listen to the whole thing,

285
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,080
and I encourage people to do that. It it kind

286
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,320
of makes us really makes a statement, and it makes

287
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,240
you think to the lyrics make you think.

288
00:15:57,679 --> 00:16:01,559
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Yeah, some justice opportunity unity came about

289
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,360
years ago when Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri.

290
00:16:06,919 --> 00:16:11,399
I literally I saw the two news coverages on MSNBC.

291
00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:14,840
They were saying there were protesters in the street, and

292
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,559
Fox said there was, Uh, there was rioters in the street,

293
00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:21,600
of course. And I had been taking a sabbatical to

294
00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:25,919
work on a company h that I created called Babysitting Barter. Uh.

295
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,480
But this was before care dot com. And I immediately said,

296
00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:32,720
you know, I was off and I had I was

297
00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:35,440
expecting to go back to teaching the year after if

298
00:16:35,519 --> 00:16:37,840
the baby Saint Barty will work out, And I just thought,

299
00:16:37,919 --> 00:16:40,759
I have to go there. This is this is My America.

300
00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:43,519
That's one of those songs, is this Our America? And

301
00:16:43,799 --> 00:16:46,639
so I went there and I was there with when

302
00:16:46,679 --> 00:16:50,039
the riots were taking place, and I interviewed all kinds

303
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,080
all kinds of people. So the first version has uh,

304
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,840
you know, audio clips of all the different people I interviewed,

305
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,480
and then the speech at the end, which is on

306
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,759
the Everything's on the new one. But the speech at

307
00:17:05,759 --> 00:17:08,240
the end was with two guys that I was talking

308
00:17:08,279 --> 00:17:11,119
with when we were standing next to the ride police

309
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,839
and they were shooting tear gas with tanks and I

310
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,200
was like right on the front lines. And it's a

311
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,839
lot of it deals with America's issues with racism and

312
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,279
just with our political divide, not dealing and not helping,

313
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:31,119
not being fair and being somewhat racist and sexist and homophobic.

314
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,519
I mean, you know, it's kind of the trifecta. And

315
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,640
I feel like we're at a real you know, turning

316
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,440
point for America right now, and I hope that this

317
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,400
kind of talks about the landscape. Is this our America?

318
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,799
Stand Up? I wrote the day that Roe Versus Wave

319
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,400
was overturned, and I just couldn't believe that mostly that

320
00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:56,640
someone that was raped or a victim of incest would

321
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,119
be forced to have a child. And that's what that

322
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,400
song is about. We got to stand up against that

323
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,480
kind of thing. Yeah, and stand Up is really like

324
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,160
kind of a rallying cry that I think that I

325
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,599
would love to like move on to just take it

326
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,119
or plan parenthood to you know, go ahead and use

327
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,599
the song for the rallies or for the movement.

328
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,279
Speaker 2: Maybe there's an opportunity there, but yeah, yeah, it's it's all.

329
00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:25,640
It's very very powerful. Yeah, stand Up that's another very

330
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,359
powerful powerful song. Is this our America is great that

331
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,279
of course, you know, the first the first single, it's

332
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:34,200
going to radio. That's very, very excited about that.

333
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 3: You had the world premiere on Saturday.

334
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: It was absolutely. Absolutely can we talk to a little bit,

335
00:18:42,839 --> 00:18:44,480
just kind of shift gears a little too, because I

336
00:18:44,519 --> 00:18:48,880
want to know about your radio background when we talked

337
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,759
on the phone the other day. You're a radio guy too.

338
00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:55,319
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely. I used to work for w l I

339
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,480
R and w g R E and Party one oh

340
00:18:58,519 --> 00:19:02,319
five on a long island back when I was out

341
00:19:02,319 --> 00:19:06,920
of college and during my band days, my first band days,

342
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,839
when I was about twenty years younger, and I ended

343
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,839
up I was an account executive working at the radio station.

344
00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:19,119
But then I hosted. I started and hosted Tri State Sound,

345
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:22,400
which was a local show, which was one of the

346
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,240
best experiences of my life. I mean, and we spoke

347
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,799
about this, how much fun it is to listen to

348
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,519
new music and be able to pitch to radio stations

349
00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:33,519
and stuff. I got to listen to the greatest talent.

350
00:19:34,319 --> 00:19:38,599
I had bands like Ryan Starr, the Montgomery Cliffs, early Edison,

351
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,680
people that really went on to fame afterwards, but they

352
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,519
were local, local accident and I had a lot of

353
00:19:46,559 --> 00:19:49,559
live performances. I did that for about three years.

354
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,519
Speaker 2: Oh wow, okay, why did you Why did you leave

355
00:19:53,519 --> 00:19:55,759
it behind? I mean, I know, there's not a lot

356
00:19:55,799 --> 00:19:56,359
of money in it.

357
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,039
Speaker 3: Times. It wasn't that I went back to teaching. I

358
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,200
left the job and I got back to teaching. I

359
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:08,039
went into teaching. I got married, I had a few children,

360
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,279
and I thought that you and I love history, I

361
00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:17,079
love social studies. My sixth grade grandfather was Richard Henry Lee,

362
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,960
who proposed the decoration of Independence. And that's something that

363
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,480
I always kind of like wear around me and feel like,

364
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,039
you know, this is my country and I want to

365
00:20:26,039 --> 00:20:30,079
make it good for everyone. And yeah, I'm sure so consciously.

366
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,680
That's one of the reasons I flew to Ferguson. I

367
00:20:32,759 --> 00:20:37,680
went to Charleston when the when the massacre happened, and

368
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,720
it was just blown away by the contrasts between how

369
00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:46,519
Ferguson handled the riots and the killing of Michael Brown

370
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,039
versus what happened with the Charleston Nine, which were two

371
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:56,359
vastly different reactions, and Charleston that were holding hands across

372
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,519
the bridge. It was beautiful and Ferguson so much.

373
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Now do you have do you have

374
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,079
plans for for more music beyond this? I mean, obviously

375
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,000
you're focused on the current project, but but I'm always

376
00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:17,160
curious because you're you're a creative guy, so I'm sure

377
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,319
you've got more ideas beyond or maybe more ideas that

378
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,000
are connected to this, because obviously it's not just the music.

379
00:21:24,079 --> 00:21:27,160
It's it's there's a game, there's there's everything, right.

380
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I definitely want to continue with it. I

381
00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:36,319
frankly have already redone Election Day, which was the album

382
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,200
that followed American Split the original, and I've redone it

383
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,599
with AI. But I have another album called Sex and Politics,

384
00:21:46,519 --> 00:21:49,160
which I think it has nine songs on it right

385
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,160
now that I also use the AI again using the

386
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,880
seeds of my you know, piano playing or whatever, my

387
00:21:57,279 --> 00:22:01,960
poor production, you know, basically doing it on the iPhone

388
00:22:02,759 --> 00:22:04,680
on a lot of the tracks, some of them were

389
00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:08,559
recorded in legit studios. And I've had a great mentor

390
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,319
in Richie Kanada, who has given me more than he

391
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,160
ever should have, I'm sure, in terms of his time

392
00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:19,359
and his his guidance. He was the he's the sax

393
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,200
player for Billy Joel for like his first five or

394
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,200
six albums, and he has a recording studio where he

395
00:22:25,319 --> 00:22:29,400
launched like Mariah Carrey, Whitney Houston and he was, yeah,

396
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:34,039
he was. He was very big influence in the in

397
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,880
the actual finished product of the original American split, two

398
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:39,160
of the.

399
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,759
Speaker 2: Tracks, oh wow, okay, okay, very good, very good. And

400
00:22:43,839 --> 00:22:47,559
then do you do anything musically? Do you do anything

401
00:22:47,559 --> 00:22:50,599
outside of Eddie sing? Or is it all about Eddie sing?

402
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 3: And the it's all about Eddie sing. Yeah, it's the persona.

403
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,720
I think I'll probably at some point go back to

404
00:22:56,759 --> 00:23:00,880
Brian Mannox, probably to make my mom happy. She's really

405
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,720
yeah Stan calling me Eddie and you know that's funny. Yeah,

406
00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:08,079
it's kind of a thing. But yeah, I think eventually

407
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,720
I'll go back to Brian Mannix. Uh. You know, I

408
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,839
previously released the Mannox Project. And years ago I was

409
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,440
in a band called forty two Wetmen, which is the

410
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,920
first well, I was in a band in college too,

411
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,240
but the first like real band outside of college was

412
00:23:24,279 --> 00:23:26,759
this band called forty two Wetmen, and we got a

413
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,960
radio play and we we had my my partner, one

414
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,680
of my good good friends, a soulmate uh heuh. He

415
00:23:35,839 --> 00:23:39,160
was a piano player on Broadway and he was like

416
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,440
the orchestrator of the band and we were like it

417
00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:45,599
was like right as we were about to get signed,

418
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,559
the band like blew up and we broke up. And

419
00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:51,279
then yeah, it was like it was it was sad

420
00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:54,200
and then uh. In one of my big moments when

421
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,359
I opened for Cake at the Vanderbilt in in Long

422
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,279
Island and I got offered a record deal back in

423
00:24:01,279 --> 00:24:05,640
the day, and I turned it down, like maybe a fool, yeah,

424
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,400
because I wanted more control over the over the publishing

425
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:09,960
and everything.

426
00:24:10,319 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, well you never know too, I mean, uh,

427
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,160
a record deal isn't always uh you know, I mean

428
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,440
they might they might pour a lot of money into

429
00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:21,640
the project once they sign you, and and you might

430
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,920
end up being a big star, or you might there's

431
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,559
a lot of horror stories too, you know. You go

432
00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:28,759
and record a record and uh, and then the record

433
00:24:28,759 --> 00:24:31,359
company shelves it for whatever reason and they and you

434
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,759
don't even own your masters and they keep everything and

435
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,400
uh that was part of the deal.

436
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 3: It was kind of like they were just buying my

437
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:43,599
finished product. And that album I made with Mike Sapone,

438
00:24:43,599 --> 00:24:46,519
who I think he's won a Grammy. He produced brand

439
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,039
brand brand news.

440
00:24:48,839 --> 00:24:49,559
Speaker 2: Okay, brand new.

441
00:24:49,839 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he produced a lot of their stuff.

442
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 2: Oh okay, great, he's incredible. Yeah yeah wow. And are

443
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,799
you still in So you're in New York.

444
00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 3: I'm in Brooklyn. I'm in Crown Heights, and I am

445
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,000
doing a little bit of AI educational consulting as well.

446
00:25:06,319 --> 00:25:10,279
Speaker 2: Really interesting. Okay, Okay, so you're really you're really invested

447
00:25:10,319 --> 00:25:13,880
in AI. That's good, that's good. Yeah. Well, eventually we're

448
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:14,720
all going to have to be.

449
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 3: Much. I mean, I look at it as we have

450
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,839
a whole bunch of Einstein's in the room that we

451
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,480
can utilize for just about any project, or just just

452
00:25:27,519 --> 00:25:31,440
about anything, any question, any real world uh you know,

453
00:25:31,599 --> 00:25:34,880
science thing you want to know, or even interpersonal stuff

454
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,880
that you know most people like you're talking you're telling

455
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,400
that to a bot, but you know, when they're that smart.

456
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,559
Even though it's just one character at a time, or

457
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,720
you know, it's just a stochadic parrot or whatever people

458
00:25:48,759 --> 00:25:51,759
want to call it, it works for me.

459
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,559
Speaker 2: It's also been with us too, for longer than people realize.

460
00:25:55,559 --> 00:25:57,720
Because what I tell everyone is if you've ever gone

461
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,519
on to a a if you've ever talk to a chatbot,

462
00:26:01,559 --> 00:26:05,000
on a website for customer service. I mean you're literally

463
00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:07,160
talking to a bot that's not a real person on

464
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,319
the other end. That's why sometimes it's so hard to

465
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:10,400
get anywhere.

466
00:26:11,559 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 3: Exactly.

467
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 2: But but that'll improve too. But but no, I I

468
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,279
I love AI. There's so much you can do with it,

469
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,319
and uh, the number one thing that I use it

470
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,720
for is coding, because I also build websites. Really but yeah,

471
00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:27,160
but I don't code at all anymore, like ever, I

472
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,039
literally I tell I tell AI. There's a couple of

473
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:31,880
different ones I use, you know what I need, and

474
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,279
it builds it for me, and then I put it

475
00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:33,839
into the.

476
00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 3: You know, I might have to do it.

477
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: I might have to tweak it, but I don't. I

478
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,559
don't write code anymore.

479
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,759
Speaker 3: Right right, It's amazing, no reason to really amazing.

480
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 2: So is there anything else you want to tell us about? Uh,

481
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,880
in terms of the game, because again with Eddie Singh,

482
00:26:51,319 --> 00:26:53,480
there's the game and everything, like what I want to

483
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,359
make sure people know about that, and then we'll remind

484
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,119
people too about you know, they're going to be hearing

485
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,279
hearing the single on the radio soon. But any any

486
00:27:01,279 --> 00:27:02,880
other part of this that we didn't touch on that

487
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,960
you want to make sure people know about well.

488
00:27:05,079 --> 00:27:09,759
Speaker 3: In hopefully a week's time or less, the app will

489
00:27:09,799 --> 00:27:13,440
be up and running on my website or on a

490
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,880
separate domain name. It would probably be a web app.

491
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,200
And basically you can listen to the album and you know,

492
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,640
sort of shazam it, uh and listen whatever part you're on,

493
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,079
Depending on the song and the minute that you that

494
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:33,599
you record, it'll give you a choice of options. Uh,

495
00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:38,160
it's like, no, I always forget this. It's like no action,

496
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,599
share or alternative. And then within that once you pick

497
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,480
one of those, like no is like you know, trivia

498
00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:48,799
questions and stuff like that. Action is asking someone to

499
00:27:48,839 --> 00:27:52,640
share something on social media. What was the other one?

500
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,519
Alternative is just kind of kind of a popourri of

501
00:27:55,599 --> 00:28:01,079
things and uh was it no action? Uh, I'm forgetting

502
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,160
the other one. But then there's subcategories of what the

503
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,400
album is all about, love and sex, which you know,

504
00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:10,319
please you and come on, come on, certainly represent that

505
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,680
and the love of Mineola screaming your name in the night.

506
00:28:14,839 --> 00:28:21,319
And then there's subcategories so love and sex, racism, sexism, homophobia,

507
00:28:21,519 --> 00:28:25,759
and technology, and then you get to share and earn

508
00:28:25,839 --> 00:28:31,400
points within that ecosystem and really be like interacting with

509
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,079
the music in a way that previous to the technology.

510
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,519
Now you know, it's so advanced. And again I've been

511
00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:40,079
kind of waiting for this. I mean I had this

512
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,799
idea a long time ago, but I wasn't able with

513
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,000
my skills then to create a hizam. But now, like

514
00:28:47,079 --> 00:28:49,680
you said, not having the code, I mean I can

515
00:28:49,839 --> 00:28:51,920
just I can build it. And I was able to

516
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,359
build it. It's working perfectly in the development environment. I

517
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:56,720
just have to push it up live.

518
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 2: Fantastic. Well, congratulations on that. That's exciting. Yeah, really looking

519
00:29:01,519 --> 00:29:04,559
forward to that. And of course, uh, is this our America?

520
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:05,319
Speaker 3: Uh?

521
00:29:05,559 --> 00:29:07,799
Speaker 2: I have the title right right? Is this our America?

522
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,079
Speaker 3: Is this America? It was called this My America?

523
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: Right right? Yeah?

524
00:29:12,279 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 3: And I changed it because it's really our America, it's

525
00:29:15,519 --> 00:29:16,119
not mine.

526
00:29:16,359 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, excellent. And uh so that's uh, that's going out,

527
00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:23,039
that's well starting now. Really it's going out to college

528
00:29:23,119 --> 00:29:24,799
radio and and people will be able to hear that

529
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,799
soon and and uh and hopefully too they'll get into

530
00:29:27,839 --> 00:29:29,799
the game and and all of it. But well, we'll

531
00:29:29,799 --> 00:29:31,680
make sure people know about it. That's for sure.

532
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely great stuff.

533
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: And I encourage people to check out the album too,

534
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,799
and uh, and of course if you go to eddiesing

535
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,240
dot com you can find well, the original is there too.

536
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if the original is still on. I

537
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,160
think I might have just replaced it with the with

538
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,359
the updated version. But you can, oh gotcha. You can

539
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,480
certainly learn everything you wanted to know about me or

540
00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:53,000
the band.

541
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

542
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 3: My electronic press kit is is you know, a little

543
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,960
too long. It's a prezzy where you can go in

544
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,359
and see who I am in my background, my life,

545
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,440
and then each of the albums you can go and

546
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,319
see the lyrics and who produced it and everything.

547
00:30:09,799 --> 00:30:11,599
Speaker 2: And I got to watch. Looking at the website too,

548
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,519
that reminds me I gotta watch that. I haven't watched

549
00:30:13,519 --> 00:30:15,240
the video yet, but I'm going to the story of

550
00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:16,799
Eddie saying I need to check that out.

551
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was years ago, in the first

552
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,920
one I made, and it was it was, you know,

553
00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:26,799
kind of just I had this experience where it was

554
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,759
I was typing, uh, and I was writing like just

555
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:35,279
a creative writing session, and I wrote about this translucent

556
00:30:35,359 --> 00:30:38,759
girl and then I went to stop writing and I

557
00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:43,319
got hogandash out of my fridge or freezer, and they

558
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,559
had a QR code, which i've at that point i'd

559
00:30:46,599 --> 00:30:51,839
probably never scanned a QR code of someone else's. And

560
00:30:52,079 --> 00:30:55,079
I scanned it and you downloaded an app. It was

561
00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:59,119
called the Concerto app, and outgrew a three D image

562
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,279
a Halgram like Princess Leigh and Batman and Star Wars

563
00:31:03,799 --> 00:31:07,039
playing the violin. And it was like the most beautiful

564
00:31:07,079 --> 00:31:09,680
thing I'd ever seen in my life. And I was like, whoa.

565
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,599
And then I sat back down at the computer and

566
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,920
I was like, I wrote about a translucent girl in

567
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,279
the computer before I saw this thing, and I'm like,

568
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:19,480
what is going on?

569
00:31:19,599 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 4: I'm like, am I seeing the future? I'm like, well

570
00:31:22,359 --> 00:31:27,000
predicting this? It was so it just it still haunts me.

571
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,640
I don't know, Yeah what exactly who threw that seed

572
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,119
into my subconscious?

573
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,039
Speaker 3: You know? And yeah, yeah, preview, but that was kind

574
00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:38,599
of how that thing started. And I believe that's in

575
00:31:39,559 --> 00:31:41,599
the Eddie, the story of Eddie.

576
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 2: Saying Okay, okay, yeah, I gotta watch that tonight. I'm

577
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,559
