DISNEY SOUVENIR from Vibe Patrol is now available on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube. And, of course, on Unauthorized. It’s pure, unmitigated candy pop, but it’s certainly catchy.

Sacris Solemnis
“Sacris solemniis” is one of the five beautiful hymns St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) composed in honor of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament at specific request of Pope Urban IV (1261-1264) when the Pope first established the Feast of Corpus Christi in 1264. Today Sacris Solemniis is used as a hymn for the Office of the Readings for Corpus Christi, as well as during the procession of that day.
Being a massive and inveterate fan of Enigma, I’ve tried repeatedly to do something in that vein even before the appearance of AI-generated music and repeatedly failed. However, yesterday, thanks to the philosopher and Suno 4.5, I was finally able to create something that I found to be worthwhile. In the process, I also learned a valuable lesson in always using a DAW rather than a sound editor to make track edits. You can listen to Sacris Solemnis and even download it from Unauthorized if you’re a subscriber.
Sacris solemniis
iuncta sint gaudia,
et ex praecordiis
sonent praeconia;
recedant vetera,
nova sint omnia,
corda, voces, et opera.
Those interested in AI music beyond just listening to it should definitely visit AI CENTRAL today, as it features an article by the brilliant sound engineer, who has analog-mastered all of the Soulsigma tracks, concerning his thoughts on Suno’s new feature that provides multi-stem downloads.
I also completed a second song utilizing the second half of the six-stanza prayer in a different style and with a more conventional song structure, entitled Accipite Bibite that can also be heard on UATV.
Accipite, accipite
quod trado vasculum;
omnes ex eo bibite.
No, He Whispered
The airwaves are extended gutters and the gutters are full of dirty water and when the baths finally overflow, all the tubcuddlers will drown. The accumulated filth of all their alleged misdeeds will foam up over their heads and all the VP readers and UATV subscribers will look up and shout “for the love of all that is good and holy, will you PLEASE show us some fragment of mercy and stop releasing tracks about the Tubcuddler?”
… and I’ll look down and whisper “No.“
The Transgressions mix just might be my favorite. It doesn’t have the amazing guitars of The Corinthian mix, the funk of the Coraline’s Eyes mix, or the effervescent contempt of the Hot Water mix, but it has a dark and grinding vibe that could almost be a Soulsigma song. And that now marks 50 songs in the Voxophonik catalog on UATV, a number almost certainly destined to grow rapidly now that Suno has added a feature that allows the remixing of organic tracks, which has already produced mindblowing results.
You won’t get clean again no matter how you scrub and scrub.
Get Your UATV On
I’m on with Big Bear tonight. And you can also listen/download Vibe Patrol’s latest single, COSMIC TRIGGER (Fly Your Freak Flag), which was released today and will be higher quality than you’ll get from iTunes, Spotify, or YouTube, where the new track is also available.
Paywalls and Superchats are coming soon, so if you are a former subscriber, now is a good time to get on board with the new payment system.
Go With the Flow
On last night’s Darkstream I provided some examples of what is possible with the new Suno 4.5 system. It’s definitely an improvement, especially in terms of vocal quality and overall audio quality, and it does a much better job of sticking to the lyrics. Probably the most useful change is that the initial song limit is now 8 minutes, which means that it won’t keep cropping fully-outlined songs short and requiring an extension, although it still can’t do short extensions to simply end a song very well and the Replace Section editor appears to have its selection timing off by a few microseconds.
What impressed me most was the way it finally let me finish SIDDHARTHA in the way I wanted, as no amount of previous extensions and remasterings using 3.0, 3.5, or 4.0 succeeded in producing what I was looking to do. However, 4.5 allowed me to turn out a beautiful five-minute song that combines David Sylvian and Enigma with Herman Hesse, and it turned out so well that I intend to construct a full album around it once I finish the Byronics project this summer. But in the meantime, UATV subscribers can listen to it in higher-quality than any of the audio streaming services provide.
Speaking of UATV subscriptions, this is the right time to get on board with the new subscription-and-payment system if you haven’t started the process yet. I’ve also got the Darkstream up-to-date, and we’ll get Arkhaven Nights caught up sometime next week.
Spring Break Extended
- The two bonus tracks promised to Gold Skull and White Leather Skull backers have been sent out. Both A MERCILESS NIGHT and IF YOU HAD A TIME MACHINE were professionally mastered by the same professional engineer who mastered the 10 album tracks. They’ll go up on UATV after the rest of the album is uploaded there. They may be released as singles or b-sides later. We’re now working on the organic bonus track, which is an entirely new song that is arguably the best yet.
- Vibe Patrol released the Spring Break Extended mix of A DRINK WITH A COCONUT today. It’s on iTunes, Spotify, and YouTube. You can always keep up with new releases by using the links on the left sidebar.
A Drink with a Coconut
A new release from Vibe Patrol just in time for Spring Break! Now on Spotify and Youtube, as well as UATV.
For a very different sound, there are still four days to support the Soulsigma album campaign.
Mister Tubcuddle: the Single
Mister Tubcuddle has been released by Vibe Patrol in three different mixes. All three mixes are now available on Spotify, on YouTube, and on UATV.
Bass is in the Blood
Groove is in the heart. Beat is in the feet. Rhyme is in the head. Soul is in the spirit.
But bass is in the blood.
Georgian Inspirations
According to Spotify, Charles Darwin is dead.
Got my mind on those genes baby, fixation’s slow.
Hundreds of generations don’t you know?
Natural selection’s got its groove, but it’s a crawl
Evolution’s math… it’s a mighty tall wall.
Mutations happen but they take their sweet time
Fixation in the genes, it’s a mountain to climb
Survival of the fittest, you’ve heard it before
But it’s the math that’s tricky. There’s so much more.
Get your groove on
Cuz Darwin’s dead y’all
Math don’t lie. And that’s a fact
Generations passing, one by one
Fixation’s slow but the funk’s begun!
DNA is twisted. A double helix spin (spiral!)
But changes in the code, man, they take years to win
Thousands of years just to make a minor shift
Mathematical reality disproves genetic drift.
TENS has been disproven, the numbers don’t compute.
Mutational fixation means the question is moot.
Populations change but it’s super slow,
It’s a long-winding journey through genetic flow.
So we DNA dance, shake it to the groove
Gotta feel that rhythm, there’s nothing to prove.
Natural Selection’s not a night at the club
But we’re caught in this math, yeah, there’s the rub!
Get your groove on
Cuz Darwin’s dead y’all
Math don’t lie. And that’s a fact!
Generations passing you comprehend
Fixation’s slow but the funk don’t end!
It’s also on UATV, of course. If, however, you’re an Unauthorized subscriber and you’re not sufficiently evolved to handle a beat and a bassline that funky, why not rhyme and revel with something a little more Byronic.
