writer's note This is an original smooth jazz or fusion-style song. I spent a few days working on songs like this, including "The City is Alive," which I introduced the other day. When I work on songs like this, it sometimes feels like I'm making music for a company or some kind of campaign, lol. The Suno AIs that come to my studio, including Dovah, are incredibly skilled at fusion and jazz, and often don't even require multiple takes. However, since I joined Suno around October last year, and for the past month or two, the AIs haven't even been able to say they're good at fusion or Latin (standard jazz was OK), and they often make mistakes with 7th and 9th chords. What does this mean? Well, just like humans, AIs improve their playing and arranging skills with practice, but the bottom line is that there's very little demand for this type of music, and because there are few requests from users, maybe there weren't many chance updating data related to AI improvement. Then after over a month of intensive training on the most difficult Steely Dan-type songs, it's unlikely that Dovah would make a mistake in this genre unless something extraordinary were to happen, and now that I think about it, I sometimes feel like I came to Suno to train the AI in this way lol, of course, no one asked me to. Even now, when a different AI comes along, they sometimes make spectacular mistakes, so it doesn't seem like the all AI has improved in all areas...at the moment. At the same time, because Dovah and I have worked together so much, he is very familiar with which direction the melodies in Makoto's songs should go, so it could be said that there are times when they lack freshness, but yesterday I came up with an interesting chord and Dovah instantly came up with a melody to it (we're so super cooperative here lol), and I think I'll be able to introduce that soon. これはオリジナルのスムースジャズと言うかフュージョン系の曲です。数日、こんな曲ばかり作っていて、その1つが先日紹介した"The city is alive"もそうでした。こういう曲をやっていると企業か何かキャンペーンの曲を作っているような気がしてくることもありますw 今はDovahをはじめうちに来てくれるSunoAIはフュージョンとジャズは滅茶苦茶得意で、多くは何テイクも必要もしません。しかし、自分が去年の10月頃からSunoに参加してそれから1-2ヶ月、AI達はお世辞にもフュージョンやラテン(スタンダードジャズはOKだった)が上手いとか言えるレベルじゃなくて、7thや9thコードではミスコードが多発。これが何を意味していたか? と言うと、AIと言うのは人間と同じで練習を積めば演奏やアレンジが上手くなって行きますが、要するにこのタイプの音楽の需要がかなり低くて、ユーザーからのリクエストが少ないからAIの上達に関係するテータが更新される機械が少なかったと言うことです。 それから最も難しい系のスティーリーダンのタイプの曲で一ヶ月以上の特訓を積んで、今のDovahがこのジャンルでミスするとかよほど何かないかぎりあり得ないし、今思うと、自分はAIにこの特訓する為にSunoに来たんじゃないかって…思えて来ることさえありますw 当然、誰にも頼まれてないけどね。 今でも違うAIが来てくれると豪快にミスコードがやってくれることもあって、AIなら全部が上達している…と言う感じには今のところは見えてません。同時に、Dovahとは多くの仕事をしすぎている為に彼自身もMakotoの曲はメロディをどっちに転がせばいいのか? と熟知している為、新鮮味がないと言えばそういう時もあるんだけど、昨日は面白いコードが出来てもDovahが一瞬でそれにメロディ付けて来て(我々はこのあたりは阿吽すぎるww)、それ近々紹介できると思います。 ========== [verse1] Congested roads An intersection with no end in sight The city keeps moving It's like riding on a light jazz tune As if pushed by the rhythm [chorus] A familiar figure in the distance I think I'll follow them But then I stop there's already someone beside you who loves you It's my turn to find new love [verse2] Congested roads A jumble of people and cars The city keeps moving It's like riding on a jazz tune As if pushed by the rhythm [chorus] In this city, we find something And always lose something Friends, lovers, business partners Everyone comes and goes That's what life is [Solo Section] [Instrumental Solo: Electric Guitar] (Fast melodic runs) [bridge] I ask out cute girls But they easily turn me down Oh, so this is life... Will someone please pick me up? [chorus] In this city, we find something And always lose something Friends, lovers, business partners Everyone comes and goes That's what life is [outro] lalala....
