Open edition
This experiment started after Lil Internet introduced “gencore” with his Illegal Generation mixes. He calls gencore “the endgame of the hardcore continuum,” an inevitability of how electronic music has been created so far. It aims to be a club genre whose sound is formed from the characteristics of generative AI music tools.
There are 3 rules when making gencore:
1. All gencore vocals must be forced hallucinations, output by the model in
"instrumental" mode (as a distinctly inhuman glossolalia or phonetic ur-language).
2. Whoever creates the gencore should not personally be able to say "oh this sounds like X artist or genre" (except gencore).
3. To recreate a gencore track using traditional (non-generative) means must be very difficult, very expensive, or simply impossible.
GJ JUNKHEAP ONE doesn’t always follow these rules. Sometimes the tracks were just too good to exclude.
Prompting gencore is nothing like the human process of making music. Instead, gencore lends itself to being mixed and rearranged. While a DJ collects tracks that fit a mood/vibe/style, a GJ prompts them by digging into the model, sometimes breaking it, summoning with words the sound they want.
