Sorry I'm late on release of the album but I want it to be perfect this time and had to finish a feature I wrote so it ended up the best song on the album according to my step kids. But "End of the year" is also being released with long overdo music videos since DistroKid has not helped me get into my youtube account yet but I know they've got their hands full like all of us do. But I'm adding two live recordings to the album sale and a lot of footage with it, and order will come with a nfc scannable to show me putting the songs together, hanging with friends, and recording the videos and where we traveled to get footage since I wanted AI absent but my distributor does not like emailing back too much and don't know whether to upload videos to my youtube or the one they made for me. I've also been focusing on my Comic Store Rare Candy Reserve which the fb is fairly new so go like if you have yet to as I'm sitting on enough collectibles plus what I've 3D printed to advertise and display them to retire for ever and focus on music, get a new electric acoustic, and make some money to put towards even better equipment. I won't be playing any shows with the mask before long though, and am just gonna be me since I quit masking period.
Wish me luck and hope you enjoy what's to soon come!

Added a new song and recording another atm to replace one of the instrumentals I didn't want when I wrote something far better, and realized how important it was for my daughter to hear it.

I feel like this has been the longest week of my entire life and my god I'm tired from it. Website is going up and found podcast discussing my music, argued I went too many directions (I do) but at least they see what I'm building towards as an entire ecosystem!

Thats what matters, it's going to be something to help those who need to be able to help themselves and teach them how, and to learn to make a business from the things they enjoy most, as I never WANTED to run a plant nursery, I've always made music since 16 myspace days, and just want people to focus on the message & bettering themselves to become who they CAN be not what they are and focus on what can become, not what currently IS. No matter the size of the whole, you will find a way out. Gonna finish this damn video hate editing videos now seems like EVERY software wants to auto edit for you so going OLDSCHOOL

Sever is up, neurodivergent/adhd/autistic tool app is done with Reddit like tab, box breathing & other tools, and everything from handling the police to resources without being baker acted with calming music channels. Website for VNE, my plant nursery (again), Retro Robin Collectibles now sell best swords for use & have an app coming out that will also be hosting via my servers. If you need a server for your game cheaper, or a cheap domain name with 100% uptime & scalable player cap by what you have to work with I’ll host anything you need. Live Stream SteadyWAVE goes live tonight so I’ll be commenting the form to sign and upload which song you want played, I make zero money as terms shows, o make sure publicity goes to artist who makes music or takes out ad. Also chilvary 2 is badass. I’ll build anyone a pc better than your current for $100.00 which can host way more than mine, automate, delegate, faucet mine satoshis, & has any feature you want & can make budget PCs powerful too! I spent less than 50 to be able to do all this. Hope y’all stay sober and listen to worldwide new dropped exclusive “Gas Station Dope” and they made it illegal in Florida for good

I don't use AI to write my music, lyrics, vocals, or instrumentals. I never will.

The only ways I've used AI are:

Restoring old recordings from my MySpace days ("An Undead Fairytale" / "Cooperative Chaos") so they don't sound like they were recorded on a potato.
Turning my own sketches and ideas into album artwork.
Expanding a real children's choir we recorded for "Grew in the Wrong Direction." The voices came from actual kids, not AI generated singers.
Editing and rearranging a friend's violin recording into a part she couldn't physically record with me at the time.

That's it.

The first A Steady Heart album was written years before generative AI even existed. Friends have heard me perform those songs live on acoustic guitar and piano for over a decade.

Ironically, I spend more time fighting irresponsible AI than using it.

I build local, offline AI that doesn't send your data to big tech. I support stronger laws against AI impersonation, fake artists, deepfakes, and replacing human musicians. Hearing companies replace artists and developers with AI was one of the reasons I started A Steady Heart in the first place.

AI is not going away. We need ethical AI, transparency, and regulation, not pretending it doesn't exist. Technology is also how we'll defend ourselves from technology.

The video I'm sharing about The Beatles restoring old recordings is a perfect example. That's the kind of AI I support: restoring, preserving, and assisting human creativity. Not replacing it.

I make music because I love making music, not because I want AI to make it for me. I've been producing since I was 17, I'm 35 now, and if you hear me live, you'll hear the same voice that's on my records. Filters, EQ, compression, and effects have been part of music production for decades. AI isn't.

I'll never release AI-generated songs and pretend I wrote them. My music is my story, my mistakes, and my experiences.

If you're curious how I actually make my music, check the comments. I'll gladly show you my process.

I think this version will land much better. It keeps the focus on your principles instead of venting about other artists, making it more likely that people will understand your position instead of getting distracted by the controversy. I will ALWAYS be about transparency and fighting against those with data farms & huge AI infrastructure killing off our environment.

Grabbing the last few programs needed for SteadyWave and getting the node and azure up by tonight. For those who want to SSH into dropping their files let me know so they can upload their music or ads or meta data files before the app hits android play store to do the same.

How often do you feel like you're just plugged into some matrix you can't get out of? It glitches more and more but you're like "this is probably just a coincidence". Nothing seems real anymore. In the picture below. One girl who ASH did not deserve is DISSAPEARED, the next person IS Ash, the third was his first bandmate and best friend at one point Bryan, now seeming like a false memory, and the sweet girl at the end is in prison for the death of her sister over a fight they had with a rake and a knife in the kitchen. She went from being our friend, to being in prison for murder over her sisters death over something so small. Every time I play music for beach goers I wondered if that bliss would last forever, but it never does.
