Seven artists.
Seven worlds.

The underlying songs featured on this channel were written and recorded by me years before today’s generative AI tools existed. I own the original compositions, including the lyrics and melodies. The newer recordings are reimagined versions of those pre-existing works using modern production tools, including AI-assisted technology. The use of those tools does not change my ownership of the original human-authored compositions.

No. The songs themselves were written by me. Many began as demos I recorded more than 20 years ago using traditional instruments and recording equipment. AI-assisted tools are used as part of the modern production and presentation process.

SOLA’s recording artists are virtual artist projects created to represent different styles of music from my catalog. The songs, however, come from real compositions and recordings that existed long before the virtual artists were created.

Some of the modern recordings use AI-assisted or synthetic vocal technology. That technology is used as a production tool to perform songs that were already written, arranged, and developed beforehand.

My catalog covers very different genres, from rock and metal to pop, country, punk, and jazz-influenced music. Creating separate virtual artists gives each group of songs its own identity, sound, and visual world.

Yes. The older demos and live recordings shown in the video are recordings from the original era in which these songs were written and performed.

Many of these songs were never given a proper release. Modern technology finally gave me a way to revisit the recordings, improve the production, and share a catalog that otherwise might have remained sitting on old CD-Rs and hard drives.
