[BorisIsLove 2]

Before anyone asks where this came from…

just listen.

13 years ago today.

some things were never supposed to leave the studio.

some never even made it that far.

26 tracks.
demos, fragments, lost concepts.

reimagined through AI. reconstructed from the ground up.

this is what could have been.

you weren’t supposed to hear this.

but here we are.

unofficial fan reconstruction. AI-assisted. not an authentic leak or official release.

ART CAN MEAN ANYTHING.

[DISCLAIMER]

ARTPOP ACT II is an independent, non-commercial fan project developed over the past six months. The tracklist was carefully curated to create a cohesive interpretation of what a continuation of ARTPOP might have sounded like.

The cover artwork was created by Little Monsters without the use of AI. AI-assisted tools were used exclusively for musical reconstruction, restoration, and refinement of existing demos and concepts.

This project does not claim to represent Lady Gaga’s original vision, nor is it intended to replace or diminish the work of any artist involved. All original rights and credits remain with their respective owners.

There is no intention to persuade anyone to support AI-generated music or to present these reconstructions as authentic recordings. This is simply a creative interpretation made out of appreciation for the era. Those who are not interested are under no obligation to engage with it; those who are curious are welcome to experience it for what it is.

I would never understand fans that celebrate Gaga creativity and the same time they consume fan made AI stuff

[Lord Mayhem 3,871]

I do wish one day ACT II becomes a reality but in times of endless waiting...the AI interpretations of these long lost songs will suffice and I admit I actually enjoy some of the songs that sound VERY realistic not only in voice, but Gaga's style and pop catchiness

Yeah the cover art was made by me. Please kindly remove it - glad if you appreciate the work I did making it all those years back. But I prefer it not be associated with generative AI content if possible. Thank you

I haven‘t had the chance to give the project a spin … and I honestly am not versed in the ins, outs, nor nuances of the AI-arsenal (GenAI, AI-assisted, “Predictive AI” (I think is a format?), etc.) …

But/and/so I will say, just off of “vibes” or human intuition maybe, your intention feels incredibly genuine … and your commitment to the project, and concept, and rollout is quite astounding …

The YouTube premiere, the packaging, the curation, the attention to the DNA of what ARTPOP ACT II might actually look and feel like in 2026 given all of the pieces at play [particularly from a fan‘s standpoint, and oddly enough echoes of the BTW consideration dealing with the dialectic of “how to protect something good (music production / creative expression) … without evil (assistance of AI tools, for instance)… ?”], even the little elements of timing (that your live premiere on 11.11.26 coincided with 11:11pm ET), just as a creative concept that deals with the apparently incongruent instruments in the sort of technological laboratory of electronic creative culture is really quite brilliant …

If nothing else, that you sort of Frankensteined this project into fruition (good, bad, indifferent) feels radically ARTPOP in its own way …

So, all of that is just to say (again, without having given the project a proper spin), fwiw I do appreciate your commitment to the craft, your apparent willingess to go out on a limb in an attempt to muster some sort of human-driven manifestation of how art can exist in the practical reality of an AI-assisted world …

And, fundamentally, I respect that you genuinely seem to have undertaken the gravity of this lofty endeavor with no malicious intent … which, at the beginning and end of the day, is really so much of what this life as a creative steward is about …

In immediate retrospect, as I’m sort of typing through stream-of-consciousness, I am reminded of something Zedd expressed awhile back when I asked him about: the soul beneath “pure EDM fantasy,” the possibilities for Pop’s electronic evolution, and the human element’s place in electronic-based music.

Spoiler

s/b: Some people say that electronic music is soulless… some people say Pop is the apex of artifice… Expound on the soul beneath “pure EDM fantasy,” the possibilities for Pop’s electronic evolution, and the human element’s place in electronic-based music.

Zedd: Well, I have to agree in 99% of the cases. I do think the most electronic music is fairly soul-less and very generic.

But there’s something that has to be said as well: a) there is a LOT of soulless music in any genre; not only electronic music, and b) since it’s way easier to record electronic music than other genres […] obviously there is a lot more recordings / productions of electronic music from people that don’t really know how to do it. Those people label themselves “DJs” and “Producers” or even “Musicians” which I think isn’t really right and makes those “demos” to real songs – and if I had to judge them, I’d most likely not rate them really well.

You can kind of compare it with me using Photoshop. I just downloaded the trial of Photoshop and been playing around with it. Do I call myself a visual artist now? Am I a graphic designer? No. I try it out and play around with it but I don’t understand the “soul” of design.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that due to the over-saturation of electronic, due to the minimal requirement to make it, there’s a lot of music people consider “soulless” (which everyone has to judge for him/herself by the way); but aside from that…

there’s a great catalog of incredible electronic music in the world. You just have to find it.

I guess, in its own way, this whole experience on the first blush blink sort of brings it all back to an Auraboros moment in its own bit of evolution … with unironic echoes of teen rebellion in the twilight of the genesis‘ thirteenth birthday …

Admittedly, I’m a neo-luddite, but/and, as such, I am human … and as a flawed human, I’ve made my lion‘s share of well-intentioned mistakes … so, from that sort of islanded place of creative misfits without malice, I guess I’m just trying to say … I guess I don‘t know what I’m trying to say, I‘m just typing

I appreciate your presence, and the catalyst for critical thought your polarizing work invites to the forum … fwiw: love and art

 

ETA: More broadly, I will just say, from a sort of I don‘t know standpoint … going off of optic logistics, Mayhem (and the respective era) was bankrolled with GenAI-assisted resources (financial, technological, etc.), if nothing else, by proxy of Stability.AI and Morningview‘s relationship … so I guess, just going from that standard, maybe be mindful of how ethical standards are expressed / approached in relation to the producer and products of AI-assistance

[2] General disclaimer: I don‘t use GenAI in my day-to-day life, because, for me, it just sort of feels weird (maybe residual creepies from working in social tech back in the day), so, to that point, I’m, again, admittedly not versed in the practical logistics or processes at play in the immediate context

She doesn't have the Artistic Integrity to keep ai out of the room, what makes you think she's gonna respect you?

OP: I hope your little project gets you DMCA'd to hell and you learn a valuable lesson.

[ChicaSkas 24,243]

what scares me is how far leaks and fan made ideas have come since 2010 when were still doing stuff in audacity and pirated pro tools.

I used to be able to hear 128kpbs versus 320. I used to tell if something was Gaga's voice or not in a static-y recording of a recording of a recording. Now I can no longer trust my own ears. AI is too good at mimicking the very tones and sounds and textures of her voice. 

It's a very tough time, you can either reject it all or enjoy it all with caution.

I choose to enjoy, with a lot of salt.
