I broke AI to make it work creatively

When I created the David Lynch homage album I had wanted to somehow have lyrics that gave it a Lynchian edge, unsettling prose, or random words but nothing came. Something that hinted at the backwards talking in Twin Peaks but not using that technique.

I experimented with various vocal synths and vocoder ideas but it all sounded ‘predictable’ So I released the album as an instrumental, and was very happy with it.


I found an AI App by Adobe that cleaned up vocals, so instead of feeding it words I fed it each of the instrumental tracks from the Lynchian album.

Misuse of AI is the only way to truly create art from AI.

Sometimes it gave me a female voice, sometimes male, or sometimes it was an English style voice or American tones. It was dependent on the music it was trying to work with. The more dense the music the heavier male voice and the lighter sounds became feminine vocalisations.

The vocals themselves sound like a language you have never heard, and only hearing random words of an overheard conversation.

I don’t know if you’ve ever listened to people speaking in another language you don’t know and sometimes a word jumps out in your native tongue? Or at least sounds like it is. It’s like that.
