1994, perhaps 1995. That’s my guess on how early we are in AI compared to the early days of the internet. This is the moment when all of the potent life energy that was secreted away in the lairs of Google, Microsoft, etc pops forth as a seed from the darkness of the soil. That was just weeks ago. So…
No, you’re not too late.
You’re not too late.
One upon a time you were
a little one with big dreams
you promised you'd make real one day.
– unknown
Maybe the keys to that dream are about to be revealed in amongst the catalog of incredible AI tools popping forth more every week. The keys have indeed appeared to me.
This morning I spent my practice hour downloading song stems from Grimes and learning how to use them as samples. The just-released Sensory Percussion AI drum kit allows me to play with musical wonderland toolkit that I dreamt of all my childhood. As a drummer in the school marching band in Paragould, Arkansas I would’ve died if this had shown up under the Christmas tree. As a 42-year-old I died of happiness anyway.
It’s not too late.
Part of me never believed such an amazing piece of technology would be mine – a big part of me. Fortunately, that fear was wrong. Part of me never believed I would be talented or practice enough. Those fears were also incorrect.
When the magic comes together and I’m making gorgeous sounds, fireworks of pleasure ignite in my brain as I’ve never experienced before. The fact that I have song stems on my hard drive made by from a visionary A-list artist currently blows my brain and heart wide open even more.
I want this experience for you. I want you to have this deep knowing that inside you is a creative force that’s rooted all the way down to the core of mama Gaia AND is supported by your tribe of co-conspirators of people who get that technology, sacredness, and art go together like peanut butter, chocolate, and honey.
Here’s the leap of faith you’ll have to take to become an artist that shines your light into the world. You must take these magic spells into your bones:
Great artists have teams that help them make their art.
They deserve it.
I do, too.
I will receive the help I require once I step out into the void and surrender my fears into the hands of grace.
Great artists have teams. Here are the credits for Beyonce’s song Alien Superstar. Look at this list of twenty-four names!! She had massive help on this song, but also her entire way along as a musician.
You will too if you sincerely embark on this journey into the wilds of your inner creative heart. Have this faith. Stand on it. Make it real for yourself by taking actions that align you to becoming this person that is a more real expression of yourself.
You’ll need friends with whom you’ve built a deep trust and rapport. We build this layer by layer like a pearl, and it is much more precious.
If this adventure into your heart calls to you, join us this Thursday. We’ll be doing a form of embodied communication you’ve probably never experienced but don’t worry – we’ll show you exactly how to jump in. All are welcome.
We will be doing them every two weeks, so mark your calendars. Free and open to all.
