when musician is not really musician
May. 14th, 2025 09:14 pmawwgh . just find certain indicator that anything by this one particular musician in collection , details later , is machine gen .
well , sort of raise yellow flag from start to be honest , but want to give some benefit of doubt first off - youtube topic channels can be weird , and not always reflect real composition dates . so just shrug off for right then , not really listen to too many but pick out one ... kossai have secrets . ;P
and then sit in back of mind , not really think much more about ... until today . find another channel with different username but same legal name attach , and have similarly big upload library ... and then another , and another , and yet another ... literally so fucking many . and this guy have no history , no information , nothing available anywhere - if someone have real body of work this astronomically big , surely would see in credits of ... literally any projects at all ! website ! accomplishments ! something to prove existence !
some of these more egregious than others in album count , but all of these seem to have 50-song long albums , and upload these albums at humanly impossible rate . so , here is what kossai find between youtube , qobuz , and apple music ...

obvious pattern is obvious .
worth note is that art for all of these albums is also machine gen , but unfortunately , that is not guarantee of machine gen music . fair number of musicians turn to machines for quick artwork , whether due to frequency of music ( derek and brandon fiechter , with over decade long career of monthly releases ) or just lack of confidence in ability to make album art which appeal ( so many beginner musicians ) . hate that shit with passion , but only yellow flag - need more examination to be sure .
to be honest , still not great at identification of machine gen soundtracks like these - have much better grasp when there is vocals , or otherwise very egregious upload history like this guy in particular . maybe this will be good practise to listen for patterns .
anyway , if nothing else , do not spend money on music that someone did not even bother to learn how to make . so many musicians with real talent out there who remain unseen and earn little , if anything at all .
