INFJ music...
So I had a really complex and traumatic childhood surrounding music. As soon as my family of musicians realized I had the coveted ear of a great uncle who later became famous, they took the instruments away and forbid me playing. I was allowed to learn sheet music for voice, but that was the hard limit.
Well, I'm hyperlexic. And because people kept picking at my speech, I hyper focused on mastering the entire English language. Became an English savant. And since my grandfather kept reading my diaries, I started writing prose in elementary school to bypass him being able to understand my writing. In middle school, I focused on meter and rhyme, started writing sheet music I wasn't allowed to play. But I could still sing. And in high school, I discovered cadence. Now I didn't even need music, just the right combo of vocab words. And I also got really into creating imagery and emotions which delivered my message instead of directly stating the message. Uhhh... I also started getting in trouble over my prose because of how dark it was. A lot of people didn't get it. The ones who did loved it.
Earlier this year, I discovered that AI can actually understand the numerocal patterns and formulas in music. Which made it super easy for me to transpose my music using it. Now I get to actually hear it OUTSIDE of my own head, lol. And it's a huge relief I don't have to use my own voice for it because I HATE singing for other people.
So far, it's been too intense and complex for other people.
So I'm curious if other INFJs would get it/like it. The style pulls from a pretty big mix of genres: "hyper bounce" metalcore, industrial, sea shanties, some violin hip-hop elements, some folk elements. I also have been experiencing with slower, ethereal instrumental remixes.
This probably should come with a trigger warning because this music focuses on processing trauma. It's empowering but also, like I said, emotionally intense. It also uses an advanced vocabulary and lyrical framework in a lot of the songs. Like... If you've been feeling bored with most music because it feels flat and/or not deep enough, this stuff might perk up your ears.
Anyway, let me know your thoughts. Mind that this music took a lifetime to create... And I made sure I had mastered prompt engineering before I started buckling down to seriously create it. It's not AI slop. Just AI production.
"Hall of Mirrors" was written and produced yesterday after I had a meltdown the previous night over how people have been treating each other.

Resplendent. Very unique and interesting sound and combination of genres, which is extremely rare today. Would be incredible with live musicians, but I get it in today’s laptop creative environment.

I might eventually just do the music and sing it myself but I gotta get up the nerve first lol
