No AI was used in the making of this music.
AI (GROK 2) was used to make the cover pic of the cat playing guitar on stage.
NOTE: The first song, “Dem Dems Dodging Da DOGE” is also called “How Experimental is TOO Experimental?” (same as the album) some places, due to a typo that I didn’t notice until after I’d released to some sites. I can’t change it on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, etc. without deleting the album and starting again, which isn’t that important.

I am a fan of this band’s music. It’s different, that’s for sure.
I like EDM, which this isn’t, but that’s the whole point: there are many sub-genres of electronic music and Biptunia’s music does in fact seem different from the rest…it’s not Electronic Dance Music, nor is it “New Age” droning, but something all its own.
“Writing about music,” Frank Zappa said, “is like dancing about architecture.”
My recommendation: listen to Biptunia’s music and decide for yourself. You’ve nothing to lose and a lot to gain.
