I've got a pretty good synthesis engine built, but I decided to take a crack at automatic phoneme alignment - basically, simplified speech recognition - but it's a hard problem, and LLMs are way too optimistic about their abilities.

The mood certainly fits the title.
Heh. I resisted the urge to add a bridge using a whole tone scale. You know that cliche, where the harp does a run as the film does a dissolve shot on someone thinking and rubbing their chin. laugh

It looks like a lot of work, but isn't it great to hear it in print, so to speak?
Yep. It's actually a bit less work than it "looks like", because BiaB did all the heavy lifting. But now I need to write a song without all shortcuts.

Thanks for stopping and commenting.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
