Beyond the Rodeo

Original music by SpaDogs presented with a collection of original artworks created using a modern hybrid style.
A diffusion model was trained using SpaDogs original artwork. Then Meta’s Llama 3.1 was used to help create prompts based on “Beyond the Rodeo”. The resulting artwork was repainted to create the final works. Final touchups were done using Affinity Photo.
The music was inspired by young love at the San Joaquin County Fair and Stock Show Rodeo, August 25th 1971 (51 years earlier to the date).

It is an interesting way to proceed with the artwork. And it is a most beautiful, analogue music that accompanies the creations. AI is not capable of that quality yet... Much feeling and skill in both. The Luminous lasso is my favourite

Thanks. “Luminous Lasso" is an interesting painting. It really shows what the model was trained on as rainbow swirls are in a lot of my work. Here's the prompt: "Iridescent pastels, soft red, blue, and green shimmer across the canvas, suggesting the magic and wonder of the rodeo's most thrilling events." Likely not what you would expect had it not been for the model training. As for process, I'm trying to find ways to keep the humanity in it. I have four upcoming releases recorded on analogue tape, two with Synth V. Vocals :-) So hybrid for sure.

Synth V is a good instrument to keep the humanity in, it being AI-trained but hand-made/composed. I like your all-embracing vision and practice of art, not a common thing.
