I do not USE AI to write music, or audio master my work. I am glad Bandcamp banned it.

Clara HembreeI just sent in our song!
JuZ ShoWAwesome! Thank you so much. I should be able to play it sometime during the year - I have over 30 submissions to do! :)
Victim of Existence
Sometimes I am traumatised
by every single thing
that I remember.
I am not used to my routines,
balance is exhausting.
Yet, I am always searching.
There is so much I need.
So much to do.
I wanna cram myself in
So these thoughts cannot find me.
I’d move forward faster,
I am hard on myself
even though I do a lot.
I am inside a box
that I call home.
They tell me I failed,
They tell me that
no one owes me anything.
I get it wrong,
everybody hates me.
Yet, you try to exist.
you’re still there.
I wasn’t built for the noise
that keeps pulling me in.
Almark *we have a blogger if you want ot use it :)
JuZ ShoWI am just working on some ideas for lyrics - I wrote two songs worth of lyrics in the past month lol who knows some of them might work.
Almark *i see
Dan PruettGreat. That would work for lyrics. Also stands alone as a powerful poem.
JuZ ShoWYeah I thought so, Dan. Who knows it may work as everything lol
and0rod madnessdjthats impressive I just use my bedroom
JuZ ShoWThank you!, Andriod. I have been using my living room for years. In fact each part of it has been categorize to suit everything I do. I have a reading corner, a desk where I do coloring in and quilling, an area where I can set up, and perform live on places like tiktok or mixcloud, and of course a place where I can rest and watch Netflix or amazon prime. The stuidio is situated in the corner next to my TV and sound system. I only upgraded my studio monitors and screens recently - the studio monitors were a birthday present from my parents.
Almark *the lights subdue the eyes into a sleepy slumber.
JuZ ShoWyeah it is very relaxing!
Almark *ZZzzzzzZzzz
Goodbye, Threads. It was nice knowing you.
No more sharing stuff about music, and having gatekeepers, and other musicians trash you for it. No more making a post and having people telling me I have failed. No more posting photos your DJ controller, calling it turntable., and be slammed for making a mistake. No more making posts, getting slammed for it, and not have anyone defend you or support you.
Fuck those assholes. I keep my peace.
You won't get that on #WEATNU .
JuZ ShoWI agree
Jason NorwoodThere are the people I refer to as "audio bros"--supposed experts in audio engineering and music production who don't offer advice, they just tell you what you're supposedly doing wrong.
Almark *they are the worst man
Almark *I see those fools all over YouTube, any time I see a video that says 'you're mixing wrong all this time' or you read that book wrong, I avoid it. Waste of space.
JuZ ShoWJason, I know right!! It really drives me insane - like as if I didn't know which way my monitors should be - horizontal or vertical. Those sort of musicians are very controlling I reckon.
Blast from the past!
Check out B.B.E with Seven Days and One Week , which came out in 1996
(Takes awhile to get going, But listen til the end)
Almark *The Yamaha DJX was right on time when they made their synthesizer. (rompler)
It has a beat just like, the thing is full of many electronic dance beats, it was unique to its time.
Remember these sounds squarely.
I have mine, over there, behind me, it's the 2nd one, I had to find a replacement years ago, the keys became so brittle under the plastic - sponge died out
Watch out for music industry scams.
I just had someone from Nigeria claiming to be a DJ from a radio station asking me to pay 35 dollars AUD for radio promotion via whatsapp. They had no credentials. I just reported them and blocked them.
JuZ ShoWy7eah but you cant get a following, and as a musician you're basically feeling out of place.

Almark *I've felt out of place online since the day I joined the internet, doesn't matter how much I post it's always been hard.
Dan PruettI've felt out of place since I exited the womb.
JuZ ShoWI felt out of place before I was born!
My break from all the big social media platforms is going well. It's almost been a week. I am even depending on my mobile hotspot much less, which is basically my only connection to the outside world. But I am in control. I don't need to be connected all the time. That's what the government wants so they can track us, control us (which is bullshit anyway) . I often feel quite normalized without the noise, and I reckon I will continue to take breaks from it when it all gets up in my face.
These days social media is a tool to help me spread my wings even though algorithms stifle the little guys. I need it for my music. I need it to keep trying to promote myself no matter how hard it is. I got people out there who do support me, and that is my focus. I could never delete the platforms completely. My tiny fanbase understands how important it is for me to stand back every so now and then. I don't need to post every single day. I don't need to make something new all the time. I have built it all all as far as my sanity can take me. People who are still around on those places who love my music? That is the reason why I stay.
My first update for 2026.
It's onward and upward with all my projects - I have decided to postpone my next lyrics video and move forward with writing my album. I have about 2-3 unfinished songs so far.
During the production of my last album I gave everyone little teasers - Now I am keeping everything on the down low. However I may share some of my progress for Patreon members or Tik Tok Subscribers when I get back from my social media break.
I am pretty easy to find on both platforms - So look up TheJuZShoW (capitals and all)

Thank you for your support!
Almark *it's ok, i was kidding. Before this mish-mash word salad, content was not a dirty word.
JuZ ShoWIt should be a dirty word - I cringe when I have to use it or hear it.
Almark *there is one web that uses it exclusively, so much that I avoid it. Odysee.
JuZ ShoWoh really? I dont log in there . it is impossible to market yourself there.
Almark *from what I see, yes, it's a weird place, you have to find a niche, good luck
JuZ ShoWI call it cheating because fully prompted AI music is not real music.
Almark *it is cheating to use only it.
Dan PruettIt is cheating to use it at all. If you can't mix and master, then learn how or find a friend who can master your track for you. I personally want nothing to do with AI. I haven't even enabled voice control on my phone. Or Microsoft Copilot. The one AI app I use sometimes on my phone is Claude, which I use mostly as a web search engine. I ask it specific questions an d it comes back quickly with specific answers.
But if someone told me I'd have to do my next B. Hasemeyer album using an AI-based recording software or else I'd have to quit being a musician, I honestly don't know what I would do.
Almark *as a tool it helped build this website, but it didn't make this framework, humans did. All I did was ask how to get a website like this up and running. This isn't a typical website, it needed Apache 2 to run it.
JuZ ShoWDan if I had someone ask me to do that I'd tell them to piss right off - blocked lol
