Nine And ¾

I survived!! 🥳🥳

Now you’ve given me the idea to keep sending songs until April for the Lumina season 😂🥳 (then from May to September for Aurea, and until the end of the year for Noxara) But it looks like the first song I planned fits Aurea more 😭

Hey, having a thread in this section mean posting a new song when it comes out? Sorry I didn’t pay attention. I opened my first thread for a country in the Buzzjack contest yesterday.

Meet Ennea Capital City: Enneon Four Regions: First Quarter: Korya Second Quarter: Sylva Third Quarter: Veyra Fourth Quarter: The Lost Quarter Geography and Mythology The river Enneora flows through all four quarters. For this reason, the symbol of the state is the Moon Fish, the only known being believed to both inhabit and pass through the Lost Quarter. The Moon Fish is said to be visible only as a reflection, never as a physical body. Its name comes from the legend that it shimmers like moonlight on the water at night. It is said to reveal itself in its full form only to those who have crossed three quarters of the path toward the final Lost Quarter. Three Seasons: Ennea experiences three distinct seasons, each lasting four months: Lumina – the bright, fertile season when the river swells with spring rains and festivals begin. Aurea – the warm and golden season of harvests, calm rivers, and long, luminous evenings. Noxara – the dark, mystical season when fog rises from the Lost Quarter, nights dominate, and Moon Fish sightings are said to be most frequent. The flow of the Enneora mirrors these cycles, rising and falling with the seasons, connecting the quarters and guiding both nature and the people through the rhythm of the year. The name Ennea derives from the Ancient Greek word ἐννέα (ennéa), meaning nine. In Ennean belief, nine represents completeness and perfection, a symbol of wholeness, balance, and the full cycle of existence. Governance and Political System Ennea is governed through a system known as the Ennearchy. Authority is embodied in the Ninefold Council, a governing body composed of nine members: three representatives from each of the First, Second, and Third Quarters. Governance in Ennea operates in a nine-year cycle: ᯽ For six years, the Ninefold Council governs the state. ᯽ This is followed by a three-year period without any formal authority, held in honor of the Fourth Quarter - the Lost Quarter. These three years without formal authority are not seen as anarchy, but as sacred years, during which people are especially mindful of their actions. In Ennea, power is not something that is held continuously. It must disappear from time to time, so that people may relearn how to carry responsibility themselves. “The absence of rule is the highest form of rule.” Population The exact population of Ennea is unknown, particularly due to the mysterious nature of the Lost Quarter. Communities are concentrated along the banks of the Enneora in the first three quarters, but no census has ever fully captured the number of inhabitants.

In general, I think artists have always sought inspiration, shortcuts, or examples to base their work on. They didn’t take it from AI, but they did borrow from each other. There were plenty of cases of copying, especially from musicians in faraway countries who you’d never hear on your local radio or TV back in, say, 1980. Today, everything can spread much more easily, and copying doesn’t happen in the same way it used to. Samples are used, and big stars have built new songs on someone else’s melodies, shaping their careers in the process. AI doesn’t invent melodies out of nothing either, it creates music based on what already exists ( stylistically, vocally, melodically ) doing essentially the same things humans did before AI, only illegally, since it doesn’t pay anyone for copyrights on voice, style, melody, etc. Whether AI has a soul or not, I think, is an individual question. People are the ones who put soul into something and experience it in their own way. Some collect crystals or stones at home, believing they have a soul or emit energy, while others see them as just rocks to throw into a river. Ultimately, for me AI isn’t creating anything truly new. I also believe that everything in life can be both good and bad, depending on how we, as humans, use it. But we are just humans, and we will inevitably misuse everything, and that’s the biggest problem. People are a bigger problem than AI itself. AI is just a manifestation of everything around us, of ourselves, and ultimately of today’s music industry. It’s a reflection for me.

I sent something I like. I don’t know its potential, it’ll probably flop, but that’s okay. 😃

Now that I’ve officially submitted other song for the pop contest, I can share the first whose composer/vocals are AI too. Honestly, even after in the comments, nobody noticed anything. Song

Ooo, this looks really interesting!

Can I claim this territory? Territory

Thank you! I’m glad I inspired you! Now I’m trying to figure out what to click on the Postimages site, they have some links you can click, like thumbnail for forums, for websites, hotlink for forums, for website... 😅 How do you post an image using a hosting link so that the image actually appears on the forum, instead of just showing a link?

Oh, OK. Which image site do you use here? P.s. saw now Postimages suggestion 🙈 Here’s the Google Drive link: Flag

I’ve made a flag for Ennea. Flag Flag 2

I submitted a song, and then I apologized and said it’s no problem for me to find another one. But even if they accept it, if I’ve already revealed here what I wanted to send, people would know it’s my song, so it might not be fair except here or for the Buzzjack contest, where I could post it for you to comment on.

I’ve had a song saved on my playlist for a few months, and now that this spinoff appeared on the pop forum, I came across it again. I wanted to send it, but when I googled it to confirm that it belongs to the pop genre, it said that it’s a project by someone who uses AI but not entirely. Apparently, he writes the lyrics himself and participates in the music, but also gets assistance from SUNO, which is even explicitly mentioned in the song’s description. I had never looked into this before because the song sounded way too realistic to me. The singer’s name isn’t listed, so I assume it’s AI, which I never would have guessed. And now I feel a bit sad because I liked the song.

On my ex forum, for my first contest, I posted a screenshot of one of my favorite songs because the music video reminded me of something. I didn’t include a link, thinking people wouldn’t bother searching for the song through the image. But somehow, it was found anyway. 😄 By the next contest, the song had already been submitted by someone else. The person who took it later admitted it, back then I was a bit naive. Now it feels so weird and wonderful that no one steals anything hahah 😄
