It's hardly the worst aspect of AI, but seeing so much obviously (and badly-written) ChatGPT content full of this kind of thing is infuriating. You'd think people would generate the text and then try to make it *not* sound like AI...

Could be a big week... crossing all available digits for a couple of cool things I've pitched for. 🎼
There's been a lot of discussion recently about positive male role models, and having stumbled upon some of the big (British) YouTubers recently I was really surprised that most of them seem...really nice.
Positive, supportive, open & thoughtful as well as daft/entertaining/watchable.
we're all (rightly) worried about the impact of GenAI on jobs, culture etc. But this is predicting some much bigger storms, and within the next 5 years too. ai-2027.com #AI
Happy #PianoDay (yesterday). So happy Piano Boxing Day I suppose. I hope Father Piano treated you well, and there's enough Piano Cake left for today...
Some more noodling purely for the joy of it. As a perfectionist it's a challenge to *not* over-prepare and practice!

Full thing here, if you like that sort of thing.
And my wobbly desk is fine by the way, that's the trade off if you want a sitty standy setup...

I love a bit of wool
Testing out a new camera setup for future BTS soundtrack vids. Thought I'd do something very hastily thrown together and very much non-rehearsed for #pianoday2025 #MUSE

50 points to anyone who can guess what I'm trying to play here... 🤔🎹
Well, as expected #Adolescence was great. Going through some of the BTS stuff while I emotionally recover! Hugely impressive from a technical point of view - the amount of effort required from the crew and actors, let alone doing some of the shots and camera moves they accomplished. Top-tier stuff.
good writing stands out even more in the current landscape of AI slop...

Jessica Lee Gagné's work on that latest Severance ep is so, so good. Those film sequences looked gorgeous!

I keep thinking there must be a little door on the side of that Bear pit he could just walk through if he really wanted... Launching himself off a helicopter doesn't give him any advantage over just walking in 🤦🏻♂️
Can't help but feel Bear's dedication to camouflage is somewhat undermined by the cameraman stood next to him. #celebritybearhunt
Colour for me, hopefully there are some better contrast options than we had for the pebble time. I'd be fine with exactly that screen again though.
Many thanks for the vibes. All went well, time to write some more music now!
Lovely new bit of studio decoration from corgi
He makes himself big
Send good vibes if you can. Just sent off a pitch for a videogame soundtrack. Great project.
Not sure if having detailed metrics on Reelcrafter for how/where people listened, skipped through etc is helpful or not at this point!
Very excited about this
I'm sporadically having a completely unproductive argument with an AI evangelist on LinkedIn, which could probably just be summed up with the sentence, 'Curation is not creation'
You do good work Seth, but this blatant AI slop isn't helpful. If it's a Suno creation (which it absolutely sounds like) then it looks weird crediting it to a band.
Conquest by Norman, Music by me. On iPlayer now!
Very very very very very good stuff, this.

Thanks to @sound-dust.bsky.social for pointing me towards Bobby Fingers - exactly the kind of thing YouTube was made for and a lovely antidote to the mental white noise that saturates a lot of that site.

Some cues from this new series of Lucy Worsley Investigates, now up on my site. I will do a video at some point, once there's a window of time - probably talking about the overarching theme/motif that spans the four episodes, why it's used and how it's implemented...
Just noticed the mis-spelling of our fabulous presenter's name in that graphic. Not my fault - sorry Lucy!
