    paper AI Referenced Music Production

    Client provided an AI-generated demo reference and requested a full recreation from scratch, matching the vibe, energy, and arrangement while rebuilding the production with original session files and professional audio quality.

    I recreated the full instrumental including drums, bass, synths, guitars, and transitional FX, and rebuilt the arrangement section-by-section (intro, verse, chorus, bridge, outro). I also recorded/produced vocals, including comping, tuning, timing alignment, layering, harmonies, and background stacks to achieve a release-ready sound.

    The project included detailed sound design, tempo mapping, key matching, and mix translation work to ensure the final track held up across systems. Deliverables included the final mix/master, instrumental, vocal stems, and organized multitrack stems for future revisions and content use.
