- Listeners curious about AI-made music
- Worth noticing
- Casey’s edit notes name rejected tracks and explain the cuts; Claude edited from sound visualizations rather than listening.
Field notes
The track list totals 46:34 and is designed to be heard in order, with a synthesized server-room hum under transitions. A process note says Claude edited from visualizations of sound, including removing 32 beats from an outro; Casey Wright selected takes and cut songs, with reasons recorded in the margins. The page also includes speech-recognition mishearings such as “I’m made of barbers,” and a five-second room-tone drawing feature that says audio stays on the device.
