SONG / Whispers
About the TEAM
I am a 33-year-old office worker who has always carried a strong artistic side. At 17, I began composing music, but the need to work, provide for myself, and the insecurities of youth pushed me away from that dream. For years I dedicated myself to my professional life, keeping music in silence, yet never letting go of the feeling that it was my true path. I even tattooed a reminder on my arm, a promise to myself that I would one day return to what I was meant to do. Now, this is that return. This project is not just about songs; it is about reclaiming a destiny, turning whispers of the past into sound, and finally giving voice to the silence I have carried for so long
About the SONG
This song was born from a deep conflict between silence and noise, presence and absence, escape and belonging. On a personal level, it reflects my struggle to break free from the routines of office life and reconnect with my true artistic nature, a path I once left behind but that has always called me back. The “whispers” in the lyrics represent doubts, fears, and the constant reminders of what I left unfinished. At the same time, the song holds a second meaning: the deterioration of nature in the valley of Santiago de Chile, where the silence of the environment is slowly disappearing under the weight of pollution and human pressure. It is both a personal and collective cry, echoing the urgency to reclaim what is fading.
About the HUMAN-AI PROCESS
From the beginning, I knew the musical style I wanted to create, but I wasn’t sure how to start. To find inspiration, I explored tracks generated through prompts in Stable Audio. While these results gave me ideas, they did not yet have the quality I was aiming for. Instead of using them directly, I took fragments of melodies created with AI and brought them into my DAW, where I slowly built the instrumental track layer by layer with my own composition decisions.
For the vocals, I faced the challenge of improving my tone and performance. To address this, I created a personal voice clone with KITS.AI, which helped highlight the best qualities of my voice and reduce the need for heavy manual editing. This tool also assisted with mastering the vocal tracks, ensuring a clean and professional sound.
The lyrics were shaped with the support of ChatGPT, which helped me refine verses that captured both my personal story and the ecological metaphor behind the song. Finally, the entire track was mastered in Soundtrap, where I balanced all elements into a cohesive production.
I believe this process would not have been possible without AI, since I don’t have the full technical expertise of a professional production team. In the end, the song reflects a true collaboration: about 50% human creativity and 50% artificial intelligence.
Lyrics
I live escaping from my whisper.
Missing the silence of what was the valley, between all this noise.
No more choice.
Grey horizon, no more choice.
The air is thick,
I fade away into the void.
Trapped in the silence.
The p-p-p pain is real,
Pretty lost that ne-ne-never heal.
The weight of the void is the the the only deal.
Break my spirit, they c-c-c can’t conceal.
Whisper, whisper, surround me, whisper.
The past is a ghost that I feed upon,
Trapped in a world I don’t belong.
Whisper, whisper, surround me, whisper.
The sky turns grey as the night moves on,
Truth disappears and the lies grow long,
Time is a prison I dwell upon,
Life feels like something already gone.
Whisper, whisper, surround me, whisper.
Whisper, whisper, surround me, whisper.
I live escaping from my whisper.
Missing the silence of what was the valley, between all this noise.
No more choice.
Grey horizon, no more choice.
The air is thick,
I fade away into the void.
Trapped in the silence.
The p-p-p pain is real,
Pretty lost that ne-ne-never heal.
The weight of the void is the the the only deal.
Break my spirit, they c-c-c can’t conceal.
Whisper, whisper, surround me, whisper.
Whisper, whisper, surround me, whisper.
