Man, Myth Magic explores Mans Myths Magic, when does magic become science, when exactly do these become realities, and are these myths based on factual events and somehow distorted over the centuries. After feeding the machine with isolated voice tracks downloaded on YouTube, I got a generated result with several voices, including a disco choir and an old crooner performance.

It can be felt in the air, a sense of unease and tension that hangs over the city, like a dark cloud casting a shadow on its inhabitants.

The lead sheet generated by Flow Machines sounds like an earworm that stuck in my head. Here is the melody played by a basic piano sound.
I made some inconclusive tests, playing a bass on machine-generated accompaniments and singing the melody but the result looked like a pop song without relief.
After feeding the machine with isolated voice tracks downloaded on YouTube, I got a generated result with several voices, including a disco choir and an old crooner performance. The score became very exciting, moreover, a word came back again and again: « my magic man ». Except for that word, the generated text was meaningless:
The German singer Mariama replaced the « disco » generated vocals and I replaced the generated voice of the crooner, by imitating it.
A lot of work was done to finalize this song. Ash Workman and Michael Lovett did a great job of production but the title lost something from its DNA. Here an excerpt from the first demo they sent me :
Works in Ash Workman’s studio prevented him from finishing the mix of this version. Finally, the French sound engineer Fred Decès did the mix after many versions. Benjamin Cholet helped to find this chill touch by optimizing the rhythm sounds with a more present kick.
This song was the most exhausting one to produce of the album, with another one, « Valise ». When I listen to the demo, everything is there and yet there have been so much tries, dead ends, twenty versions to achieve an almost identical title, maybe even a little too refined.
See All
This wicked magic also manifests itself in the glamour and extravagance that permeates the city. It lures people in with promises of fame and fortune, only to leave them disillusioned and broken. The pursuit of success becomes an obsession, driving people to do whatever it takes to get ahead, even if it means sacrificing their morality and integrity. But amidst the darkness, there is a glimmer of hope. There are those who resist the pull of the wicked magic, who choose to fight for what is right and just. These individuals are the true heroes, the ones who refuse to compromise their values in the face of temptation. In the end, the wicked magic that rose in Los Angeles serves as a reminder that not everything is as it seems. Behind the glitter and glamour lies a world of deceit and corruption. It is up to each individual to decide whether they will succumb to the allure or rise above and seek a different path..
Reviews for "The Fascinating Origins of the Wicked Magic Rose in Los Angeles"
1. Jane - 1 star
I regret going to see "Wicked Magic Rose Los Angeles". The show was incredibly dull and uninteresting. The storyline was confusing, and I found it difficult to follow along. The acting was also subpar, with the performers lacking any real passion or talent. The production values were disappointing as well, with cheap sets and lackluster costumes. I would not recommend wasting your time or money on this show.
2. John - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "Wicked Magic Rose Los Angeles", but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The plot was promising, but the execution was poor. The pacing was slow, and there were several unnecessary scenes that added nothing to the overall story. The acting was decent at best, with some performers seeming to lack energy and emotion. The special effects were underwhelming and failed to create the magical atmosphere the show promised. Overall, it was a mediocre experience that didn't live up to its potential.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I was disappointed with "Wicked Magic Rose Los Angeles". The show seemed to rely heavily on tired clichés and predictable plot twists. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any real depth. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to connect with the story. The choreography was lackluster, with the dance numbers feeling uninspired and unexciting. The only redeeming factor was the talented cast, but even their performances couldn't save this mediocre production. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a more engaging and entertaining theater experience.
