Welcome to this week's Storytime Episode.  On the off weeks from interviews, there are shorter, storytime episodes.  These episodes will share one or two stories, along with the stories behind them. With the evolution of AI, those tools have found their way into nearly everything.  You can find AI tools on your phone, in schools, and they're making their way into the world of the arts.  This week, we put “AI” to the test and see just how well it can make us a story for storytime.  ;)   Special Thanks to: Alex (my sound guru) and the rest of my first-ever robotics team.  They named their robot “Not R.O.B.” which inspired the main character's name.   Helena and Weston Fantz (of the band Not Jupiter) for the music My Wife and Daughter You   Instagram:  oncetherewasapod Facebook: Once There Was a Podcast Email: oncetherewasapod@gmail.com Linktree: https://linktr.ee/oncetherewasapod  Storytime Submission Link (requires a sign-in for security reasons): https://forms.gle/Qd4XCkrBxtBnJeRp9   Additional Audio and Music: Music by Helena and Weston Fantz (Not Jupiter) Additional Sound Effects/Courtesy of Epidemic Sound

This is where Matilda's legacy begins, her origin story —among the castles, chaos, and clout of 11th-century Lombardy.No More Paywalls!

Neil explores the transformative power of music in shaping our mood and energy levels. Drawing from personal anecdotes, including a memorable experience in a factory setting, Neil emphasises how the right soundtrack can uplift spirits and enhance productivity. He encourages listeners to consciously select music that energises and inspires them, rather than passively accepting whatever is playing in the background. With a lively and engaging tone, Neil invites everyone to embrace the joy of music, dance freely, and cultivate a positive atmosphere in their lives and businesses. Tune in for practical tips and a dose of motivation to help you start, grow, and love your tutoring journey! KEY TAKEAWAYS The Power of Music: Music significantly influences mood and behaviour. Choosing the right soundtrack can uplift your spirits and enhance productivity, while negative or slow music can have the opposite effect. Conscious Choice: It's essential to consciously select music that energises and motivates you rather than passively accepting whatever is playing. This choice can dramatically impact your daily mood and overall outlook. Physical Response: Engaging with music physically, such as dancing or moving to the beat, can further elevate your mood and energy levels. Embracing joy and movement can lead to a more positive state of mind. Real-Life Example: A personal anecdote illustrates how changing the background music in a work environment transformed the atmosphere and boosted productivity, highlighting the immediate effects of music on a group’s morale. Encouragement to Dance: Emphasising the importance of joy and self-expression, the message encourages listeners to embrace their inner dancer, regardless of age, to maintain a youthful spirit and enhance their happiness. BEST MOMENTS "Music is one of the most powerful influence tools I know of." "If you're not consciously manipulating your reality and your mood by choosing a soundtrack that lifts you up, what are you listening to?" "Choose the music that lifts you up and makes you feel yeah. Don't default to whatever." "Turn the music up and feel your mood shift, your energy rise." "A dear friend of mine is in her 80s... She's a dancer. She's got more going than most people think is right for a lady of her years."

With Sonnet 128, William Shakespeare employs the well-worn poetic trope of a lover who envies the musical instrument being played by his mistress its proximity to her and the delight of her touch. He either imagines or recalls watching her play a harpsichord or similar keyboard and wishes he could trade places with the keys that seem to be kissing her fingertips. But this not being possible, or – as he actually puts it – the keys enjoying themselves as much as they do, he suggests that she continue to allow the keys to kiss her fingers, while he should be allowed to kiss her lips.

In this special edition of the Arete Coach Podcast, Severin Sorensen explores the intersection of AI and music, reflecting on his personal journey with AI-assisted composition. Hans Christian Andersen wrote, "Where words fail, music speaks." What's the music in you that needs voice and delivery? In this episode, Sorensen explores AI's potential to revolutionize creativity, democratize music composition, and serve as a tool for personal expression and leadership storytelling. He encourages listeners to explore AI's role in amplifying human emotion through sound. Recorded one year after his first AI-music exploration in Episode 1166, this episode delves into the evolution of AI in music, the emotional power of sound, and how AI can serve as a creative partner. Key Themes & Insights AI's Role in Music Creation: Sorensen discusses three models of AI-assisted music:Done-for-You AI: Fully AI-generated music.Done-With-You AI: AI-assisted composition.Do-It-Yourself with AI: Human-driven music enhanced by AI tools.Emotional Resonance of Music: Music connects with people through memory, nostalgia, and deep emotions.The Neuroscience of Music: Referencing Dr. Daniel J. Levitin's I Heard There Was a Secret Chord, Sorensen examines how music impacts the brain.AI's "Playful" Creativity: AI performs better in a relaxed, exploratory state, leading to innovative compositions.Music as a Tool for Leadership & Legacy: Through storytelling and AI music experiments, Sorensen illustrates how music can immortalize moments and messages. Musical Experiments & AI Innovations "Semper Fi Homecoming": A tribute to military service members returning home."25 Years of Wisdom": A song created live using AI to honor Lance Descourouez's milestone as a Vistage Chair."Toccata and Stratocaster": An AI-driven musical duel between J.S. Bach and Jimi Hendrix, demonstrating AI's improvisational potential."One in Us": A song inspired by Chip Webster's book Unity in Service, emphasizing community and service. Ultimately, the episode serves as a testament to music's universal ability to connect, heal, and inspire, even when AI is involved in its creation. Sorensen challenges listeners to consider AI not as a mechanical entity but as a new kind of instrument—one that can be guided by human intent to shape profound and deeply personal artistic expressions. Ending with reflections on legacy, leadership, and the role of music in storytelling, he leaves the audience with a thought-provoking question: What unspoken words could take flight if given wings of artistry?
