The Sheep Fiends

recordings : CD : Nonlinear Phenomenon

Prior album: Yesterfuture | Next album: Artificial Idols

"Nonlinear Phenomenon" is a collection of original Sheep Fiends improvisations recorded between 2000 and 2023 reimagined by artificial Intelligence into cover songs in genres that I have concocted. The lyrics AND vocal melodies come from the original track, and the rhythm and musical parts are also reinterpreted from the original performance. As much as it tightens up beats and makes us sing in tune so much of the original song remains in these tracks. Fun stuff!
16 different Sheep Fiends were involved in creating the original versions of these songs.
All cover songs were generated using Suno v5 during November 2025. The AI generated aspects of these songs is therefore under a Public Domain license.
