I could really use some support: I'm asking for help.

I’m going through a really tough time right now, and I’ve started making music as a way to cope and build something positive. I’m not asking for money—just a like and share would mean the world to me.

Here’s my new album, Ashes of Silence — a journey through the quiet rooms of a broken heart:

Listening now!

Sounds good!

Unfortunately this board only has room for 1 bum, and that's me.

Wow dude,

this is actually pretty fuck*n awesome! Subscribed and Followed you on TikTok ;)

Keep it up!

And just like that, a new star is born. Suno for the win!

*Ashes of Silence sounds good though.

Is there a reason you chose Suno over Udio?

License usage is the most likely the reason.

There will be many lawsuits in this arena in the very near future. It's just another form of piracy really. Many have copied data and used it for training purposes, so choose your provider carefully.

Oh fuck off.

Dude, you really are a fucking idiot. I don't make shit up like many others. Here's something to get you going, knock yourself out:

Eat shit you fucking goof. AI music is the future.

The music industry is faker than fuck and props up shit musicians who are pre-chosen for fame.

Never said otherwise, only to simply to choose your provider wisely. Do you think I don't know about this shit jackass? Did you ever consider that I'm already involved in this myself? Most likely not, because you are a serious tool.

Now that you've show to be a complete and utter idiot ONCE AGAIN, please explain how the article I referenced doesn't back up what I said.

Post any music you've made?

Why would I do that? To prove to Huggles that I'm doing it? Or so the other fucking losers on this board can try and go find or make up dirt, twist it and some how use it against me?! Sort of like your good buddy just did? Yeah, no thanks....

I'm not here trying to hustle the board for dollars, but you are. Where's the music you've made? You are really good at evading and not answering questions and twisting things, maybe that could be your next job calling -- Puggles the Politician :1orglaugh

I make music for my videos... where's yours?

You gonna start comparing yourself to Elvis or Elton John, how about Bob Marley or maybe John Lennon? Might not be everyone's favorite, but seriously, you want to compare yourself to a legit Artist now because you can enter a prompt into a box?

Get ready for the puggles parade folks :1orglaugh :rasta :1orglaugh

Where's the music, not a screen shot dumb ass. Post links! If it's good, I'll even give you a nice plug.

Dis you?

Or this?

To dis me? :1orglaugh

And you think these baiting efforts actually work?

Big diff between in here boasting and bragging about I'm doing this and I'm doing that, and I'm the best thing since sliced bread and GIVE ME MONEY. Don't see me doing that, now do you? Your captain is still lurking, don't you have some ass to be licking?

Oh, and ....

Hey GFED we should talk - I am doing something similar tho it is less metal than what you've done. Good listen!!

And to answer your question, yah, dat me. Same answer.

What is interesting here is in one conversation, tubes are bad, they robbed the industry. Or whatever copyright infringement issue occurs, it's bad.

But according to Huggles, he wants to somehow justify the piracy in music and completely dismiss it, as if no, nothing going on here and artists are frauds. Even after the CEOs of the two mentioned AI providers (link above) admitted to copying songs to use for their training models. Reasoning was because they were publicly made available.

I get that you two are really trying hard to make me look bad, but you gotta try harder, or give it up. :1orglaugh

Oh, and before you try and say I'm doing a fine job of that myself, I'd like to say in advance GFY.

Back to normal programming ...

This is something I've been wondering as I watch more and more AI songs pop up on youtube, implying they are by major artists. They make fake videos to accompany the song using the artist's likeness but never directly state the artist is behind the song. I'll usually see 100's of comments under the video from people thinking its some new collaboration from the artists. I'm wondering how long its going to be before those artists sue youtube to take down those videos using their likeness.

All of the lawyers and non-creative dipshits are big mad because they want to put themselves as the gatekeepers of art.

Art doesn't "belong" to anyone. It is a privilege to make art in society, which is why, despite being dirt poor and struggling, I have never turned to crime to support myself and other than speeding occasionally, I generally behave like a gentleman. Being able to produce things that you just made up (or received) is the reward itself. The journey IS the reward, anything more is just gravy on top.

So many artists and scientists died broke because the journey WAS the destination, getting "rich" had nothing to do with it.

Now art today is little more than slop that was built on slop, pushed by psychotic people in charge of spreading their control over the media, ran like a cult, with the same artists appearing over and over and over again and choking out new artists and new vibes.

AI Music is so fresh, is so new, it is a joy to listen to and experience the liberation of creativity, so that now even the grandma down the street who always wanted to make an opera song, she can work at it and tune it to sound like what she's been imagining for 50 years. AI Music has turned me on to some K-pop now, some sick ass AI K-pop tracks for sure.

:thumbsup

first track bought me down a little, it´s morning here, maybe we should have left it until the evening when needing to relax, and second track was a little hectic for the morning lol..

but the guitar & vocal is great... :thumbsup

wondering, as I don´t understand... You´re William Trippe, Aka GFED, why the name Raquiel Onara? Isn´t Raquiel Onara a woman? is that your partner or your pseudonym?

My partner followed you on Facebook if you can confirm :thumbsup

Yes! I'm about to lose my phone service in a few days. At the moment I don't have the money for even food or water. Hit me up on any social media I posted or you can call or text me at 813-831-1996.

I appreciate the feedback 🙏. To answer your question—yes, I’m William Trippe (aka GFED), but Raquiel Onara is also me. It’s my divine soul name, which I discovered on my spiritual path, and it aligns closely with my numerology. The meaning is “messenger of light.”

The name itself isn’t bound by gender—it can represent both masculine and feminine energy. That’s intentional, because it expresses the duality I work with in my music: GFED is the darkness, Raquiel is the light. Together they create balance.

Every song I make is also tuned with healing frequencies, so beyond the sound, I’m aiming to transmit resonance and energy that people can actually feel.

Thanks again for the support—please let your partner know I’m grateful they followed me on Facebook. :thumbsup

one need to love AI song generator help to create this final :1orglaugh ....

I haven't heard of Udio. I'll check it out.

thank you for the enlightening explanation & no problem, welcomed for support, best wishes to future projects :thumbsup

Is Suno better than Udio?
While Udio's sound quality is technically superior, Suno's ability to mimic the nuances of human singing provides a unique advantage for users seeking a more emotionally resonant experience.

What google says :2 cents:

checked out the gfm link in your sig and damn, so sorry you've been through all that. a significant health event can def cause everything to collapse frighteningly quickly, esp when income source is gone and mental health starts to spiral. you must feel like you're really fighting uphill on every front right now

trust that this too shall pass. you were doing fine before this event, and you will do fine again


love that as part of your healing you're doing something constructive that is working for you. I really liked 'Echoes of the Demiurge' and 'The Iron Gate Opens'

keep your head up GFED, wish you all the best in your recovery and bouncing back

PS your pup is beautiful. those curly ears!

Great work GFED!

I like this one:

I am super interested to hear your impressions of Udio VS Suno, imagine if you made your 2nd album with Udio!

Do you have your music on YouTube yet?

Sounds great. What would make Ashes of Silence great is if you also worked a female voice into the song.

Thank you! <3

Ty! :)
You might like this too.

Noted! Thank you for the feedback! <3

What ever happened to Blade wire? I kinda liked the guy. He was a good person on the inside. He helped me out on multiple occasions.

:2 cents:

To be honest, I did really like the album Ashes of Silence, has that sort of Nickelback and Creed vibe going on. Hopefully your efforts will help get you in a better place soon.
