Elias Rønnenfelt, Jan 6 '25, at the State51 Factory youtu.be/2NUurI02g8o?... Doomsday Childsplay (excerpt) from his album Heavy Glory. His talent amazes. I hadn't heard his band, Iceage. Richard Hell, Iggy Pop+others have much praised youtube.com/playlist?lis... and www.thefader.com/2024/12/03/e...

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

www.facebook.com/hillary.hays... Recently, I'd compiled lists of Bowie's professional photographers, candid photographers, & professionals who captured candids, in hopes of discovering if he might be the most photographed person in history. I've identified 551 professionals & 41 candids #DavidBowie

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

youtu.be/nAf8B0cl0-c?... I know ppl have misgivings abt these techs. It's been my aim to explore how their abilities can express what makes we humans special. As Jesse Welles' song asks, 'Will the Computer Love the Sunset'? These 433 words, tho brought to life by GPT/Suno/HeyGen, are 100% my #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".

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!

I've been super inspired by Jesse Welles' incredible music & this is 1 of the ways inspiration has happened. I call these rebus-style lyric posters, the 1st for his song "Walmart" & the 2nd for his song "Cancer". Sing along here ⬇️🎵🎤😊 Walmart: youtu.be/b8JC-aMFRRw?... Cancer: youtu.be/1SkabsKQBTM?...

youtu.be/RwXSbUL9K78 In this project I give voice to grieving unremembered souls I see during meditation. This is Gennie, a poor mother exiled from the Mistwalkers of Æthralûn. She sings her lamentation in my ChatGPT-aided constructed language, Thrávënar. I engage w/ AI but there's no artifice here.

In this project I give voice to grieving unremembered souls I see during meditation. This is Paolo, a suffering medieval beggar, singing his lamentation in 1 of my ChatGPT-aided constructed languages, Thrávënar. I engage w/ AI but there is no artifice here: hillaryahays.substack.com/p/sarval-dru...

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?

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.

youtu.be/mv3CNbmzvW8?... What a magnificent song! 🛞*Of course* Jesse Welles has been awarded the John Prine Songwriter Fellowship.🎸👏There is something so special happening here...🥹 "If a minute's a place/and a moment's a gift/then a time is a while too heavy to lift..."

I miss boarding a bus w/ change not knowing where I'd stay, w/ 1 black minidress to my name, floating down Bourbon w/ a candle, drinking Mimosas on a rooming house rooftop at Decatur, lizards on a shotgun floor in the Marigny & clutching a plastic Jesus at Marie Laveau's grave like it could save me

youtu.be/1EXM7QsQV2I?... I step off the edge of the Earth & listen. This is a masterpiece of a song & it is such joyous medicine. Through Jesse Welles' music I remember from where we're all seeded. If a celestial bard came forth from hardship to play his guitar and sing the love back into us—THIS!🥹👏

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

youtu.be/FGQZT0HbQLI?... "Trees" fills me w/ a glee like when my kindergarten Dixie Cup seedling sprouted up from the soil. Like walking through the woods crying just bc everything's so beautiful. Jesse Welles' music is medicine for the marrow, a saving grace for the soul. He is so needed right now🌳

Thought about posting this here yesterday, 1 of my Midjourney depictions of David Bowie. Lyrics from "Who Can I Be Now?", a fave song from the Young Americans era that wasn't on the album. No longer making these but they are meant to honor him. Trying to learn to paint w/ acrylics now #BowieForever

youtu.be/JgChhmDj4gM?... Resonant truth teller, old soul Seer, relentless visionary with astute commentary, raw honest beauty, soul-searing poetry, plaintive tenderness & unvarnished earnestness. Been a long time since I encountered a musician who houses so much special. He's medicine for the marrow

I'm excited! I just ordered these workbooks. I found this wonderful author, Angeline Trevena, on Substack substack.com/@angelinetre... and on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/ange... She has lots of other fantasy worldbuilding workbooks: stepbystepworldbuilding.com I'm sure these will help me with my book!

A storyboard for the 1st realm in my children's book, "The Sanctuary Seed" hillaryahays.substack.com/p/the-sanctu... It features 7 realms, 30+ characters, an environmental conservation message, nurturing lessons for kids + a learnable ChatGPT-constructed language, Færnlithæl bit.ly/Welcome-to-F...

I’ve never been a prolific writer. Poems & stories rarely come when sought out, usually only showing up uninvited. I’m seeking to change this, as I’m turning 60 soon & none of us knows how much time we have left. Anyway, these are two fragments I treasure: hillaryahays.substack.com/p/an-autobio...

qr.ae/p2Ukhk It stuns me to hear David Bowie's perception of his vocal talent, mainly considering himself a songwriter/interpreter of songs, not necessarily a great singer. Like how he equated his sax playing to the passion of Coltrane + the technique of B. Clinton. Huh? Bowie's sax in "Neuköln"!👏🥹

David Bowie, brought forth by myself & Midjourney. I no longer make these depictions. I even deleted my MJ acct. But while I was making them, I sought to bring forth ones that honor him, conveying something of his beautiful essence, which tearfully take my breath away, almost as if he were visiting

hillaryahays.substack.com/p/the-librar... I love this creation so much. It's an infinitely fascinating playground for curious minds.

"Lóthnél Sæynæl" I'm interweaving my ChatGPT-constructed language, Færnlithæl, into my fantasy children's novel about sentient Trees, "The Sanctuary Seed", which I am 100% myself writing, but am using Suno to create music for hillaryahays.substack.com/p/the-sanctu...

My ChatGPT-constructed language, Færnlithæl, will be integrated into my children's novel "The Sanctuary Seed".

sensedoubt.blogspot.com/2025/02/a-se... I love this blog! #DavidBowie

Below is 1 of my Quora blog posts/articles re: David Bowie's extraordinary vocal talent. I document other brilliant feats of his here: www.quora.com/Who-is-the-g... By my count, Bowie astoundingly composed in 100+ genres/subgenres, played over 30 instruments, crafted & sang in many vocal styles etc.

youtu.be/YnoyiVZUxUk?... There are no words that can fully convey how magnificent he was and will forever be. #DavidBowie 🫶🥹

Meditation is wonderful. Such things I see! Today, drops of heated oil suffused w/ all the tears ever wept for love & grief were dripped upon my lips. Recently, a clear quartz crystal told me its story, eons nestled among its kind in mother rock womb until the lamphats came & shattered them to agony

Traditional conlangers may find this practice outrageous, but I mean no disrespect. Since childhood I longed to know languages of mythical beings. I adore that ChatGPT & Suno now helps me. This is Færnlithæl, for sentient Trees in my novel The Sanctuary Seed hillaryahays.substack.com/p/thrlin-ent...

I overpainted 1 of my Midjourney depictions of David Bowie w/ acrylic paints & colored pencils, bridging AI-traditional art. I deleted my Midjourney acct to pursue this technique. I still feel my MJ images are surprisingly expressive. I don't rely on photos of Bowie photos.app.goo.gl/9r81ZQdUs8Zp...

I've finally completed the 1st draft of the prologue of my children's novel "The Sanctuary Seed". The entire tale will span 7 realms + an epilogue & is already in-depth outlined. hillaryahays.substack.com/p/the-sanctu... I'm writing it myself but ChatGPT is building a Tree language called Færnlithæl
