88TiMES

For years, I've been immersed in the world of music remixing, a creative endeavor that involves re-imagining and reshaping existing tracks into something new and often dramatically different. This process has been both challenging and rewarding, providing me with a platform to hone my skills and explore the vast landscape of musical styles and techniques. However, remixing, by its nature, meant that I was always working within the constraints of someone else's creative expression.

Recently, I embarked on a new venture with this channel, creating 88TiMES, a project that marks a significant shift in my artistic journey. This new path is not just about altering existing music but about creating entirely original compositions. Here, I'm not confined to the original elements of someone else's tracks. Instead, I start with a blank slate, allowing for an unrestricted flow of creativity and personal expression.

This transition from remixing to creating original music has been liberating. It enables me to inject my unique voice and ideas directly into my work without filtering them through the lens of another artist's vision. The freedom to compose original music means I can dictate every aspect of the track—from the underlying melodies and rhythms to the textures and dynamics, and even the lyrical content.

The introduction of Ai into my creative process has been instrumental in this transition. While Ai tools offer expansive possibilities, they also present new challenges. They require a deep understanding and a careful, often intricate, manipulation to truly serve my artistic intentions. Crafting original music with Ai allows me to explore sounds and combinations I might never have considered, pushing the boundaries of my creative potential.

Despite the complexities and the steep learning curve, this new venture is profoundly fulfilling. It's about creating music that is entirely mine, reflecting my personal artistic narrative and musical influences without compromise. The process is time-consuming and sometimes arduous, but each track that emerges is a true representation of my artistic identity and vision.

In the end, the shift from remixing to creating original music with 88TiMES isn't just about leaving behind the constraints of working with other people's music. It's a broader journey towards self-expression, innovation, and the endless pursuit of creating something wholly unique and deeply personal.
