Darren Ryall
As someone who doesn't play an instrument as such, I still had music inside me that wanted out. I’d listened to my favourite albums so many times that I found myself wishing there were more, not replacements, just unexplored songs that never got written. Then I heard "The Beatles" - "Everyday Chemistry" that purported to be an "alternative universe" recording of "if the Beatles continued making music".
​
I felt this, and later when hearing newly uncovered recordings from artists I grew up with. It made me realise how much I wanted new music that carried the spirit of what I loved.
​
AI music opened that path to explore that space to create songs and albums that feel like the music I always wished existed. Not to replace artists, but to extend the listening experience that shaped me.
