youtu.be/v7qqxDYRCrk?... This poetry is mine, 3 stanzas from my 30-stanza, 2,346-word poem called "the metapneuma psalms". The image is a 2023 Midjourney painting-style render of a younger photo of me. HeyGen cast the still image as animation. I paired that with Suno's jazzy audio. #poetry #aivideo

I've been writing again, probably my best work. This excerpt from my longest ever poem, written for a special artist, is called "the metapneuma psalms" & is 30 stanzas/2,346 words. I'm so proud of it. My muse had long been absconded to parts unknown but I hope she's decided to move back home #poetry

This is an Archaic Thrâvënar sample, 1 of my ChatGPT-aided conlangs. hillaryahays.substack.com/p/thulme-vel... It includes 15 diacritical marks, 3 consonant clusters, 4 affricates, 7 special characters, & incorporates elements of up to 17 linguistic traditions. Šarvëyná sings "Thûlmë vel þrôsk".
Thûlmë vel þrôsk (A Song Beneath Smoke). This is a Cabaret-style song sung by Šarvëyná in the archaic form of Thrâvënar, my complex ChatGPT-aided con-language
Thrâvënar weaves elements of up to 17 languages & is being brought forth with the help of ChatGPT. I have textbook-style chapters compiled to assist in learning the language but need to update them

I deleted my Midjourney acct & no longer make these photos.app.goo.gl/9r81ZQdUs8Zp... I sought to convey David Bowie w/ depth. Most AI images feel hollow. Mine don't. Maybe that's the problem. I did what some would rather I not, showing the tech can express & mirror us. No reference photos were used

A professor & fan of Jesse Welles saw my writing abt how wonderful Jesse's music is & published it in his fanzine called "Everything's Folked". I hope I've conveyed JW's talent & importance. Prof Andy can send you a copy of this issue of Everything's Folked for $10 via Venmo/PayPal. Pls see below!

hillaryahays.substack.com/p/a-poem-i-w... The tale of poor mother Gennie, her mute daughter Mellinde, beggar Paolo & cat Fru. I saw their tragic lives transpire thru my poem "Riven" when meditating, but only after its translation into my conlang Thrávënar. Past lives or old souls in need of requiem?
A poem I wrote called "Riven", translated into my conlang Thrávënar, brought forth into Mythopoetic Lament for the remembered long ago lives of Paolo, Gennie, Mellinde, & the cat called Fru
I wrote a poem called "Riven" which, when translated into 1 of my conlangs, Thrávënar elicited a deluge of—memories? I enter into a meditative state akin to lucid dreaming. "Ón mël-lindë"...Mellinde.

Here is a new poem by me inspired by an intoxicatingly beautiful flesh being who'll never see me. My writing is usually like wading waist deep thru metaphorical heartsick word syrup so this little being surprised. ChatGPT translated her into one of my conlangs, Thrávënar = 12 linguistic traditions

hillaryahays.substack.com/p/am-i-writi... Others may have come upon similar techniques, however it hadn't occurred to me to find a story I'm writing while in seated or dance movement-based meditation. To ask the tale to tell its story to me. Details I couldn't see w/ my waking mind became apparent.
Am I Writing This Book or Is It Writing Me?
How ceasing to author, entering into meditation & free-flowing dancing may help resolve writer's block, bringing forth the stories in us that want to tell themselves & which ask us to help tell them

I'm not a musician but wrote the lyrics for this emotional song in the style of Celtic folk, based on an old poem of mine. I used a music generator to hear potential melodies, but would ❤️ for the song to be composed & sung by a human. I don't know how to arrange intros, choruses, bridges, or outros
