Prompt excerpt
Build around a highlife pattern I recorded on my own drums. AI may add horns and keys but must not replace the hands.
The story
Kofi recorded the percussion himself and named the tradition he was working inside, then used AI for horn and key voicings.
He documents the training-data question openly and credits the players he learned the pattern from.
Transparency statement
Human-performed percussion throughout. Generative AI contributed horn and keyboard arrangement material. Stems were edited and mixed by the human promposer. Cultural source acknowledged in the release notes.
