My Broken Tooth

Music maestro Mutte Fjutt in Uppsala, Sweden and punk rocker Clive Flatenbad—a k a rap duo realPfft— continue their odyssey through the world of AI-generated sights and sounds.  

Mutte accessed the Suno music app at Microsoft Copilot, using the prompt: “Create a song about a broken tooth.” AI generated a complete track— music, lyrics and singing voice— even if the music was fuzzy, the vocal only 37 seconds long and the singer forgot some of the lyrics. Mutte deconstructed the music and re-recorded it, adding flourishes, solos and final mix.   

Graphic artist Kuny used Bing Image Creator DALL-E for the artwork. Prompt: “Show a handsome man and woman kissing.” AI rules!

Since March 2018, Mutte and Clive have been grinding out their quirky version of hit music. They started their collaboration doing political satire and have branched out from there into rap, hip hop, rock, pop, R&B, soul, jazz, bebop, K-pop and whatever else tickles their funny bone. “Everything we do is comedy,” insists Clive.

Sweden is joining NATO (my old stomping ground), Donald Trump is up for re-election, there’s heartache in Ukraine and headache in Gaza. Extreme weather plagues the planet and mass extinction looms on the horizon. Rarely have we been more in need of a laugh. Love that funky music!

My Broken Tooth

It tasted blood on my tongue

When our lips collided, something came undone

A rush of pain, a moment’s hesitation

But I couldn’t resist the thrill of your sensation (ooh-yeah)

You left a piece of you in my broken tooth

A bittersweet reminder of our reckless youth

Every time I smile, I’m reminded of the past

But I wouldn’t change a thing, those memories last (yeah-yeah-yeah)

In the Woods Cast in Shadow

For the second time in a row, Sweden’s Mutte Fjutt in the rap band realPfft has used A.I. technology to produce an exemplary track. ChatGPT created the song lyrics. TTS Free, a text-to-speech program, gave us the voice and cadences of cozy Uncle Sven. Cover art by Fotor based on the prompt “A troll walks in the woods.” The trap melody and musical arrangement are, however, created by the boys themselves. Been there, done that, with great success. Swedes, they wanted to try out Artificial Intelligence in Swedish. Here’s an English translation of ChatGPT’s slightly cheesy Swedish song lyrics:

In the Woods Cast in Shadow

I go in the woods cast in shadow

Where silence joyously sings

Among the secret leaves and pines

I find peace in my beating heart

A lone angel flutters past

In night’s shimmer, soft and clear

In starlight, a quiet music

Woven of dreams, timelessly plays

In the dance of shadows, nighttime smiles

Though I wander alone, I am not lost

Nature’s whispers fill my soul

While in the cradle of creation, I am reborn

Silently I go in moonlight

Amidst the rustle of trees and the quiet of night

I find peace in every neck of the woods

Where my being and nature become one, in faith
