Artificial Intelligence and Blues Music Art

The world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is growing exponentially and the technology is maturing daily. I’m experimenting with this newfound technology to make blues and rock music-related art. I’m using words to make the Ai model generate the image and if I want to tweak something I have to refine my words, terms, and phrases, called prompts. This isn’t such a stretch because musically we do the same thing with lyrics. The words we use help color the sound of a song in many cases.

When making these images I had to particularly think about how I wanted the image to look and then write the description, or prompt.   The computer then digitally realizes that and if I’m happy with the results, I clean them up in photo editing software, maybe adding or taking away an element, text, or some other graphic. It’s a new medium for me to experiment with as I have never been very good at rendering images with paint or drawing. My images have always been generated by various cameras and rendered digitally or physically by chemicals and paper in film media.

What I find fascinating about these images is that the colors fall right in line with my own vision in most cases. But the best part is that if they need to be tweaked, just rewrite the description. It’s an infinite creative outlet for me.

Here’s a small gallery of the results I’ve been able to achieve.
