Gary and his take on AI
assitance. First, Gary has been in the music and club
industry for 40 years and has been a leader in music
technology creating the first music video bars in Atlanta 25
years ago and was the FIRST to offer a beat mixing EDM video
club in the united states before there was equipment
allowing it (see bottom center photo above). He is a Martin
and American DJ technician and most recently renovated the
oldest landmark club THE LANDING in West Monroe LA (see top
left) featuring a 16 foot video screen and numerous 8 foot
screens through-out as well as a world class light show.
Gary started the FIRST dance club radio station in Atlanta
20 years ago and was the closing act at Fantasy Fest 3 years
in a row. He has installed robo and laser light shows at
clubs from coast to coast and continues to push technical
boundaries of light, audio and video.
Radio Bawcomville is the latest in his technological
advancement allowing artists, writers and bands to bypass
lengthy and expensive studio production (used to take weeks
and $20,000 minimum to produce a song) but now writers and
musicians can do it FREE in hours using our AI assistance.
This benefits the public by keeping fresh new songs being
produced each week for their enjoyment. Gary recalls years
ago when the CD came out he was plugging in his CD mixing
equipment at clubs where he was guest DJ'ing and those club
DJ's often would rudely explain he was not a real DJ for not
spinning vinyl ... ONE YEAR LATER ... those same DJs were
spinning CDs as well. Gary likes to point out when
synthesizers first came out Pianists complained they were
fake pianos and would never be accepted yet today you cannot
imagine music without them.
While on the subject, I asked Gary about the most emailed
question we get which is if were using ai enhancements are
the photos real? He explains most people are used to either
100% fake or real but what we use is in house proprietary
enhancement ai ... YES the base models are real people we
run through enhancing, similar to whats on newer phone
cameras (removing people
or drinks around them for example) and cleaning up lighting,
removing wires on walls etc. However, while removing someone
walking into the frame it might also remove or add a finger to
the primary subject so we have to watch for glitches like
that. Bottom line is we use ai as a tool, not as a primary
production element. We still write the songs, collaborate
with real musicians its just instead of taking weeks to make
songs it gets done in hours now. It's a win for everyone.
So whats with the bulls? Gary has also been a rodeo clown
and still works close with the rodeo community which is
where lots of the country influence comes from in the music
he produces.
If you are opening a club and have robo light questions or
looking to have a complete re-design and installation feel
free to contact us.
Just like using technology to slash cost of producing music
we use the same cutting edge technology in light shows to
produce $100,000 worth of light effects for just $7,000 on
average. But dont think cheap means lower quality, our
lights are twice as bright and do twice as many effects!
