A musician has successfully blended artistic skill with artificial intelligence to conjure a convincing fictional music artist from the 1970s. The artist not only composed, performed, and produced all the music but also leveraged AI tools to generate the singer’s visual identity and vocal performance. This comprehensive approach effectively resurrected a bygone era of music, resulting in a fully realized character. The project, and the creative process behind it, has generated considerable discussion and a range of responses. The creator detailed their experience and workflow in a Medium article, providing insight into the process of bringing ‘Dane,’ the fictional singer, to life. The original Reddit post documenting the project can be found here: [https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1p1ibpe/i_created_a_fictional_late_70s_singer_named_dane/]
