We Are Zombie Men...

My buddy Brian and I have been mucking around with a music generator these past few months, and with me writing the lyrics and him prompting the tunes, we've accidentally gone and made a whole album of tracks - some of which act as a prequel/re-telling/sequel for the "I Am Zombie Man" series of literally no-budget short films I made many moons ago.

We've called ourselves We Are Zombie Men, and the album is called Bolivian Bliss. You can check it out on the the WAZM YouTube Channel:

I used Microsoft Designer to prompt the images of Zombie Man and his new beau Fan Girl.

A quick FAQ after the jump...

FAQ:

Q) What is this?

A) Two buddies messing about with a music generator for fun. One quick song became an album about zombies and horror movies, and as a sort of musical sequel to the 'I Am Zombie Man' trilogy.

Q) AI?!

A) The lyrics were personally written by Nick with absolutely no AI involved. Music prompting by Brian using Suno. Image prompts by Nick using Microsoft Designer. If we had the money and the connections we would have hired real people, but we don't have either. This whole thing happened kind of accidentally anyway as just some fun. That's what AI should be for on a limited scale (that and data crunching to help people do their jobs more efficiently). Anything beyond that we don't support.

Q) What is “I Am Zombie Man”?

A) A series of 'literally no budget' short films, featuring a sardonic zombie with a skull for a head. Many of the songs reference his story, from aspiring musician to 'Zombie Man' to his meeting 'Fan Girl'. You can view them on YouTube.

Q) Are you making money out of these songs?

A) No. It's just for fun. We enjoyed the results so much we decided to upload them. These videos are NOT monetised by us.

If you want to tip your hat, you might be interested in “Murder at the Grindhouse”. Absolutely no AI at all was involved in the writing of this coming-of-age murder mystery crime thriller set during the dying years of New York's 42^nd Street of old during the 1980s. You can purchase it on paperback or as an eBook via Amazon.

Q) Who are you guys?

A) Nick and Brian are movie fans from different sides of the Atlantic and have been friends for over two decades. Nick is a writer (who also got an “E” in music class at school!), while Brian has been making music for thirty years and works in community theater.

Q) What's the style?

A) Tongue-in-cheek horror comedy. The main topics are the story of 'Zombie Man' and 'Fan Girl', and a love for The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs (plus Drive-In Theater and Monster Vision), and an all-consuming love for genre film.

Q) What are your sources?

A) Lyrics: 100% human-made in my noggin / Music Prompts: suno.com / Image Prompts: designer.microsoft.com / Royalty Free Images: pixabay.com – lisaredfern, wyxina, thephilippena, thedigitalartist, pixaline, clker-free-vector-images, bhaskarbanerjee, hamedasad, eluela31, pixelanarchy
