Rising Decline Revisited: A 20-Year Retrospective with AI [Part 1 of 18]

Bill Selak Talks

In this episode, I’m thrilled to share how AI is helping me breathe new life into my band’s old tracks. Using the new Stem Splitter tool in Logic Pro, I’m diving back into tracks from my 2003 album with Rising Decline and remixing to create fresh mixes with modern sound. Imagine taking an old MP3, clicking a button, and seeing separate tracks for vocals, drums, bass, and guitar appear like magic. With the power of AI, it’s now possible to tweak individual elements, apply effects, and polish these songs in ways I could never have imagined 20 years ago. Get ready to join me on this audio journey as I bring back these tunes with a whole new level of clarity and creativity.

Over the next 18 podcast episodes, I’ll break down each of our 9 tracks off our sophomore album and connect it to themes of education, technology, educational technology, and leadership. Each track will be paired with an episode where I dive into the backstory and process, followed by the next episode featuring the remixed track in its entirety.
