when musician is not really musician
awwgh . 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 ...

angels of serenity
celtic dreamland
christmas land
cornbell
cyferaa the bard
dreamy jazz cafe
fantasy kingdom
island musicbox
pianos of beauty
rift cat
the celtic bards
the dragon tavern
the dwarven tavern
the elven bards
the elven tavern
the flute fairy
the harp fairy
the holyale tavern
the holy grail tavern
the iron gauntlet tavern
the jester's tavern
the king's tavern
the mermaid tavern
the moonglade tavern
the pirate tavern
the ranger tavern
the redbeard tavern
the sherwood forest tavern
the singing skull
the tavern minstrels
the unicorn tavern
weird rabbit
zyferaa the mermaid
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 .
