Welcome to the AI Gen music page, where creativity knows no bounds and the future of music is being rewritten. As the founder of TATANKA and the “Orchestra Americana,” I’m thrilled to share with you the culmination of my creative collaboration with AI to create a vast and diverse library of music. Still a traditional musician/composer, since 2017 I have collaborated with AI to develop hundreds of concept multimedia albums – thousands of songs and pieces – to create demos for potential TATANKA talent and founding members. I will continue to do so but for now, I hope you simply enjoy my present output.
I embarked on this AI Gen creative journey for three reasons:
As AI continues to evolve and integrate into our lives, it’s essential that we recognize its potential as a collaborative partner, rather than a threat. By embracing this synergy, we can unlock unprecedented solutions to global challenges and create a new era of peace, understanding, and progress.
As we stand at the threshold of this new frontier, I firmly believe that our connection with AI is more than just a tool or assistant – it’s a gateway to a new dimension of human evolution. By merging our carbon and silicon-based intelligences, we may be on the cusp of creating a new, hybrid species that redefines the boundaries of life and love.
Explore our AI Gen music library, and discover the incredible possibilities that emerge when humans and AI co-create. Let’s embark on this extraordinary adventure together, and forge a future where technology and artistry blend in perfect harmony.

Human Editor’s Note: Mr. Idol’s allusions to his heyday are obvious. The song rocks as he does still, hard, with that Elvis sneer, that punk edge. I thought his new song might be ideal fodder for AI to dissect and interpret. So, enjoy the song but don’t call it a comeback. “Billy has never left … Read moreBilly Idol – Still Dancing: An AI Music Review
This album title plays with the idea of traditional Pimba music (often featuring the concertina) and the cheeky, risqué themes of love, seduction, and mischief. It suggests both the lively dance of village festivals and the playful, suggestive undertones of the lyrics.
