Quick 5h party prod compo filler demo made with AI. Human made music
recorded near the party place. Made on top of custom 95+% handmade demo
engine.

Won Black Valley 2026 Wild compo at Blaker, Norway because there weren't
many entries and all other entries were photos.

First part of codise's AI.EXP series where the mission is to answer the
questions for does it make sense to use AI for making demos and
specifically were does it make sense.

Greippi told that he made the music in about 3 hours:

"Music was field recorded nearby the party place next to the horse
stables. I had my nylon acoustic 4/4 with me.

I didn't have metronome with so I used fence charger tapping as the tempo.
Later on I figured out that fence chargers do not keep up their tempo,
they have their own built-in groove. It took 1 hour to figure out the
correct tempo map.

Rest of the music is largely based on SID emulated clap plugin
(ChipSynth). All in all, the music was not as much AI-generated and the
name suggests. I've concluded it's more fun to use actual instruments for
making songs."
