Not As Written

Not As Written is an A.I. Music project that take public domain lyrics from various eras and re-imagines them with a New Wave Sophisti-Pop / quasi-surf sound.

Ancient Latin songs from the Carmina Burana (c.1230) translated with a modern pop cadence. Tin pan alley songs from Irving Berlin (c.1920) freshened up a bit. Traditional folk songs proving as relevant as when they were first sung.
