I consider myself an old-school romantic, and as a result, I have long been very fond of ghost stories\u2014for decades, in fact.<\/p>\n

'Revontulien alla', a song in Finnish and Spanish inspired by the work of J.R.R. Tolkien<\/a><\/rel>
\nThe song of Bilbo, a little teddy bear who dreams of being a pilot<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

When I began experimenting with AI-generated music a few months ago, one of the first themes that came to mind was a car ride through a deserted city<\/strong>. It\u2019s not an abstract concept; it\u2019s what I call a \"ghost circuit\"\u2014my term for revisiting places where, years ago, I used to walk with friends who are now far away. The song explores what I call \"ghosts of the living\"<\/strong>\u2014indelible memories of people whom you sometimes catch a glimpse of, as if they were still walking through those very streets.<\/p>\n

For this track, I used the AI \u200b\u200bplatform suno.com<\/a>. I asked it to generate a song in English based on that idea, and after a few adjustments and tweaks, the result was: a song titled \"This ghost town knows my name.\"<\/strong> You can listen to it here:<\/p>\n
