AI-generated goth rock & new wave soundscapes from the digital abyss
Hi, I'm Fred Rosa – a failed musician who found redemption in the digital abyss. After years of making music the traditional way (check my past musical crimes if you're brave), I discovered AI music generation. But hold on, this isn't AI slop.
Every song starts with handwritten lyrics on paper. No AI-generated words here, just my twisted poetry. I created these tracks using UDIO (RIP, now part of UMG), mixing countless stems, adding my own guitar work (like that solo in "Pillars" from Goth Rock Compilation 1), and pouring my heart into every arrangement. Each track went through dozens of generations to get it just right.
Is the sound perfect? Hell no. But I promise you'll hear the difference between this and throwaway AI content. This is goth rock and new wave inspired by the dark electronic sounds of the '80s, crafted with actual care and musicianship, just... with some algorithmic assistance.
Until someone releases an open-source alternative to UDIO, this might be all you get from me. Nothing else has come close to those outputs. So enjoy these haunting melodies while they last.
"Today's postbag has given an album lush with nostalgia, electronic sleight-of-hand, and soaked in a shadowy romance. Abyssal Ink (aka Fred Rosa) delivers a striking thirteen-track odyssey that's honestly a bit of a vibe."
Featured in Summer Bangers"In a world where the line between human and artificial blurs, Abyssal Ink emerges from Lisbon's sonic depths with 'Bumper Cars and Other Stories', an album that distills the essence of 80s goth new wave through a modern lens."
