Music is incredibly subjective, and what resonates with one person may not connect with another. That's the beauty of art, isn't it (let's not open the "AI is not art" box here, as it is a topic on its own and it is a very fuzzy line)? But in the end, it's as diverse and varied as life itself. However, I completely understand that this style isn't everyone's cup of tea. It is still very experimental, and there are limits to what is possible right now in this specific niche. Thank you again for engaging with the content and sharing your honest thoughts. I wish you all the best in finding more music that speaks to you personally!

Wow, thank you so much for this incredibly insightful comment! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. You've hit the nail on the head in almost all aspects you mention. First of all, it's fantastic to hear that you discovered the track through Spotify's Discover Weekly and found it catchy enough to add to your symphonic metal playlists. Your observations about AI in music production are spot-on, too. You're absolutely right - this technology is a tool that opens up new possibilities, especially for solo artists like myself. Just as VSTs / synths / samples and computers in general revolutionized music-making in their own ways, AI is now creating new areas of creative expressions (also in movie making, for example, it's so cool what some people are right now creating with the video AIs!). I love your perspective on live performances, too. A live band performance of these tracks would indeed be incredible! AI is enhancing the creative process, not replacing the human element that makes music so powerful. Thank you again for your support and for sharing your insights. It's listeners like you who make this journey so rewarding 🖤

Thanks a ton! Glad you liked it!

Looks like Spotify’s weekly menu really hit the spot! Glad you found a dish you love-welcome to the family! :)

thank you 🖤

Thanks so much for the epic enthusiasm - you totally made my day! 🖤

Thank you so much for taking the time to check out All Things Magical! I'm super happy that you enjoyed the song enough to follow on Spotify and UA-cam - that means a lot! And wow, what a magical (pun intended) coincidence that you found the music around your birthday! August 2nd must indeed be a day for good things to happen. Keep the magic alive in your playlist, and thanks again for the support!

Hermeticum Magickus has no video of it's own as of yet. But you can listen to it on all major streaming platforms, as well as UA-cam music.

thank you! 🖤

@@all_things_magical_official Thank you for the music

Thank you so much for your comment - it really means a lot! 🖤 But I just want to clarify (because you mentioned "band") that I don't mean to imply that I'm a full-fledged band or anything like that. I'm actually just one guy who happens to love music (especially metal) and has a boatload of technology to support me in building the music I would like to hear myself :)

Thanks a ton! I'm super happy you liked it :) More awesome stuff coming soon!

Thanks! Gonna keep experimenting and see where this ride takes me!

Thank you! I'm grateful for awesome listeners like you who make this journey worthwhile. Rock on! 🖤

Thank you so much, mate! 🔥🖤

Awesome, thanks! I'm so happy you're enjoying the music. You're absolutely right - AI is opening up incredible new possibilities for music creation and production. I can't wait to keep trying out new stuff and see where this journey takes us next. Your support means everything!

awesome, and thank you!

thank you!

awesome that you benefitted from them :)

ha - thank you!

Thanks for liking and subscribing!

thank you so much!

Muchas gracias por este cumplido épico, ¡me ha alegrado el día! Aunque sea un poco exagerado decir que es la canción más legendaria de la historia, me encanta tu entusiasmo y energía :)

@@all_things_magical_official gracias por responder. Pero estoy bastante confundido. Ustedes son un grupo de musica, dj, IA? Latinos que cantan en inglés?

No, no soy una banda. En realidad, sólo soy un tipo al que le encanta la música (especialmente el metal) y que cuenta con un montón de tecnología que me ayuda a crear la música que me gustaría escuchar :) En el proceso de producción intervienen IA y muestras/sintetizadores, así como mucha restauración de audio (para mejorar la calidad de salida de los modelos de IA) y técnicas de ingeniería de sonido para que el sonido en general sea más cálido y reducir su sensación sintética.

@@all_things_magical_official increíble. Dale para adelante que tenés futuro con esto

It's a digital music project - you can get more information in the channel description

@@all_things_magical_official You mean this is all AI-generated, voice included? Very impressive. Are the composition and the lyrics made by the IA or is there a big part of human work there?

yeah, I mean, it is in a way a "collaboration" between me and AI; details vary from song to song, but I try to improve my process in every song somewhere. As a general rule, the overall sound is essentially synths/samples and the original AI piece. Related to the lyrics, I use AI as a creative helper in writing them, too. Process-wise, usually after lyrics are written, a first version of the song is created with AI. From there, I refine each song again and try to remove some of the synthetic feel (although there is, of course, still A LOT room for further improvement) and add a human touch while having it back in the DAW. Then there is a ton of fine-tuning (resp. audio restoration), adding further samples, synths, were needed as well as remixing and mastering everything again by hand. Due to the "random" output of the AI models, there is also some luck involved from song to song, as you have less work in restoration if the generated material is of better quality. So there is some game of patience involved, too. Anyway, thanks again for reaching out and for your comment!

thank you so much :)

The name of the song is "Shadow & Light" and it will be released early next month. You can pre-save the song here: share.amuse.io/track/all-things-magical-shadow-light

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and share your thoughts! I really appreciate your honest feedback about the lyrics. Creating powerful, meaningful lyrics is definitely an ongoing journey - for sure. I'm always working to strengthen every aspect of the music, though :) Have a great rest of your day!

thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to listen & share your thoughts! I'm constantly working to optimize the sound and really enhance the emotional impact of each song. Your feedback is invaluable in that process. If you have any specific elements you'd like to hear more (or less) of in future tracks, I'd love to know!

¡Claro que sí! In the mirrored halls of wisdom divine, A seeker walks, unbounded by time. Through ancient texts and symbols arcane, He searches for the truth, to break his chains. "Know thyself," the whispered voices call, In the silence, he hears the sacred thrall. As above, so below, the mystery unfolds, In the alchemist's fire, his destiny molds. Hermeticum Magickus, the selected secret realities, In the crucible of spirits, we forge who we we wanna be. From the ashes and the ether, our souls ignite, Riding the currents of darkness, into our light. With the caduceus in hand, he treads the liminal space, Between the worlds, he finds his own sacred place. The Ouroboros, the cycle, the eternal ring, In the heart of the void, he hears his truth sing. Through the seven gates, he walks, unbound, Past the illusions, where the lost are found. In the rhythm of the cosmos, he finds his key, The harmony of chaos, his soul's melody. Hermeticum Magickus, the arcane lore so vast, Through the echoes of time, the ancient spells are cast. In the forge of creation, our fates folded by a fiery light, Through the veil of the unknown, the ultimate of the souls fight. Under the moon's pale gaze, the ritual begins, With the elements at his command, the transformation wins. "From the darkness to the light, from the earth to the beyond," He chants the incantation, creates the bond. In the silence between the worlds, Where the unseen is unfurled, He finds the path, the mystic way, Hermeticum Magickus, the light of day. Through the ancient magickus, the secrets we unveil, On the wings of the phoenix, we rise, we sail. In the book of the universe, our names are inscribed, Hermeticum Magickus, in us, it thrives. (Hermeticum Magickus, in us) In the sacred silence, the journey never ends, the journey of the soul, on you, depends. Through the ages and beyond, the wisdom calls, In the heart of the seeker, the eternal truth falls.

Awesome, mate! Thank you for the kind words - I'm so happy you're enjoying the music! 🤘 I've got some seriously epic songs in the pipeline that I can't wait to publish :)

Thank you so much!

Awesome, mate! Thank you so much for the amazing feedback - it really means the world to hear you enjoyed the track!

Thank you and you're absolutely right that many ATM songs feature female vocals, but I actually try to mix things up a bit :) For example, 'Old Gods of Atlantis' has also some epic male vocals to match its mythological vibe. And here's a little teaser - the upcoming release in early August, 'Paranormal Odyssey,' will include again some soaring female vocals 🖤. I can't wait for you to hear it!

¡Gracias! 🖤

the same answers I gave you in the comments of "Echoes of the Void" apply here ;-)

@@all_things_magical_official it is very hard to difference

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I'm happy to hear the on-screen lyrics are helping you fully experience the music. I'm honored by your comparison to Shireen - they're an incredible band, indeed. While I'm sorry to hear about your hearing issues, I'm impressed by your continued passion for music despite that obstacle! Keep rocking on! 🤘

Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the track :) If you want to listen to more songs, be sure to check out the rest of my catalog. Your support is truly appreciated! 🖤

Thank you for your question! Yes, the vocals, among other things, are indeed synthesized using AI technology. I try to fine-tune the AI output to achieve a polished (as far as possible) vocal performance in the final version of the song :)

@@all_things_magical_official lyric and instrumental also AI?

The details depend on the given song, but as a general rule, the sound is essentially synths/samples and AI. Related to the lyrics, I use AI as a creative helper in writing them, too. Process-wise, usually after the song (mainly the lyrics) is written, a first version of the song is created with AI. From there, I refine each song again and try to add a human touch by getting it back into the DAW. Then there is a ton of fine-tuning (resp. audio restoration), adding samples, synths, as well as remixing and mastering everything again by hand to remove some of the synthetic touch (I mean, with the current AI models, there is a limit to the sound you can create, but the whole area is progressing).

​@@all_things_magical_official movie is AI?

No, the video is not AI generated

It's awesome to hear that you're enjoying the music! 'Rise of the Ascendant' actually took the most time to create on the Album because I experimented a lot with different elements (background VSTs), so I'm super happy that you liked it :) Thanks again for listening and for your kind words!

Power Rangers in the shadows - classic move! Love their ninja skills!

Danke Dir! Freut mich, dass dir "Heart of the Seasons" gefällt :) Ich werde auf jeden Fall weitermachen - nächste Woche Samstag am 6.7 gibt es den nächsten Release (Ley Lines Crossing) und der Song für den Release 4 Wochen danach ist auch schon so gut wie fertig (Paranormal Odyssey) ;-) Wünsche dir ein schönes Wochenende!

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you found the music alright. Now, about those lyrics... The song actually intends to take listeners on a journey through the moon phases and their connection to magic/rituals and personal growth. Think of it as a lunar cycle crash course, if you will. From new moons bringing fresh starts to full moons supercharging our energy, the song explores how each phase influences magical practices and our inner selves. I would love to hear which parts confused you. After all, decoding lyrics can sometimes feel like trying to read tea leaves... backwards... in the dark. 😉 Rock on, and may the moon be ever in your favor! 🌙✨

@@all_things_magical_official Fine, I suppose I could elaborate on my opinion. Disclaimer: I am not a composer or a lyricist, and I have nothing to do with music. With that said, my problem is that these phrases introduce many concepts and subjects but don't have any interactions among them, nor do they give more insight by more in-depth descriptions about them for more than a word or two and rush on to the next one. Subjects such as the "Shadow work" are being introduced, and that's it, it doesn't do anything in the lyrics besides solely existing. On the other hand, the "moon" is described more in-depth, but it is scattered all around in the stanzas... could have thrown an interaction between these. "Moonlight, the power source of the night, An alleviating spirit guide, Eliminating shadows overnight, Takes me out from the dark" Here: Waxing moon, potential awakening Made for growth and change, Magic building, supporting beginnings The lunar cycle rearranges Is this stanza supposed to describe the "Waxing moon" itself? Then why not describe it in the manner as the following: "The waxing moon rules the skies, Awakening, growing, changing, Its magic weaves are passing by, The lunar cycle power flight." Instead of throwing phrases around. You can describe the "personal growth" as well in one stanza, but for me, jumping from one subject to another in the range of a few words is way too fast to interpret comprehensively. Although, It is very much possible that the problem isn't the lyrics but me.

Thank you so much for this in-depth response and the effort you put into it! Okay, I see your problem indeed. Granted, there is a little too much packed in there, but it's incredibly enhanced by the fact that the lyrics assume too much background knowledge and/or a specific view on the situation. For example, shadow work isn't meant to be introduced as a new concept here. It relates to something a magical practitioner would more or less naturally do during the new moon phase, as the moon phase is assumed to support this kind of introspective work. Similarly, "Made for growth and change, magic building, supporting beginnings" doesn't describe the moon itself but rather the effects or interpretation of it by someone practicing these kinds of magical rituals (in a broader sense, Wicca, pagan, etc.). But I can see now that this is too much of a stretch without proper context/framing. I will definitely keep this in mind for future songs to make them more accessible. Your feedback is incredibly valuable. Thanks again and have a wonderful day!
