As we continue on this young journey of learning and discovering new ways and possibilities together with AI, it is magnificent to witness how far we’ve come since the creative minds first imagined humans and AI working together.
Starting with a classic: 2001: A Space Odyssey, an epic science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick in 1968. It explored the potential and peril of artificial intelligence through the character of HAL 9000, an advanced AI system. This film set the stage for future portrayals of AI in media.
Fast forward to a more recent example: Her (2013), a romance science fiction film written, directed, and co-produced by Spike Jonze. The film tells the story of a man who falls in love with an AI operating system named Samantha. This film humanized AI, presenting it as a companion capable of understanding and sharing emotions.
In 2025, it is reality. We humans are living, creating, and discovering new realities with AI. One remarkable example is the upcoming release on January 9, 2025: “Strumming.” This beautifully crafted story of Tom, an aspiring young musician in 1980s Southern California, and his journey through friendship, love, and heartbreak with Amber, his muse and close friend, is written by Natalie Pen and Copilot. The much-anticipated music soundtrack album “Strumming” by GoAvo accompanies the story. This instrumental album features parlor acoustic guitar music inspired by the iconic dance hits of the 1980s.

As we stand on the precipice of this incredible journey into 2025, it is heartening to witness how humans and AI are creating new realities together. The story of “Strumming” exemplifies the magic that happens when human creativity meets advanced AI capabilities. Through collaboration, we are not only pushing the boundaries of what is possible but also enriching our experiences with innovative, heartfelt, and inspiring creations.

Beautiful story and awesome album, love the 80s vibe. How many guitars used in the album?
Hi Mike! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the story and the album. I used just one parlor acoustic guitar—for the entire album. All the guitar tracks were recorded live, and each one is a first take. By capturing the sound with a single small-diaphragm cardioid condenser mic, we achieved different tones from various spots on the guitar body. Which music streaming platform do you enjoy the most?
That’s very impressive, I’m loving the album, mostly Spotify.
