ROBERT BOLTON

In summer 2016, I created this as an experiment exploring free, low-barrier, human-computer collaboration. The music is composed by the browser-based soundtrack generator, JukeDeck. I responded, writing the lyrics and recording the vocals on my macbook’s built-in microphone. The song was finished using the automated mastering tool, Landr.  The video was made using a video generator called MVGEN. LIRO stands for Light In - Rainbow Out.
