KINESIOLOGY

Created by filmmaker and future Licensed Massage Therapist J. Michael “The Body Mechanic” Neal as an educational project to assist with studying anatomy and physiology by using AI music creation tools to compose songs they’d actually enjoy listening to on repeat, KINESIOLOGY quickly turned into a larger project. “My benchmark is ‘does it make me feel something? I know AI music is divisive at the moment, but new artistic creation tools always are, especially if there’s a perception that it’s hurting more traditional artists or removing a layer of humanity from the process. But this project is simple - create a new kind of study tool I otherwise wouldn’t have the ability to.” Blending shimmering melodies, breathy harmonies, ritualistic heft, primal screams, complex polyrhythms, massive walls of sound, soaring guitars, chugging doom and sludge bass lines, prog metal indulgence, and the occasional string ensemble and choir, KINESIOLOGY pulls elements from bands like TOOL, Deftones, Marriages, Chelsea Wolfe, A Perfect Circle, Chevelle, Alice In Chains, ISIS, Wolves In The Throne Room, and Mastodon. “I use ChatGPT to dissect the music I love and figure out the best way to communicate what I hear in my head to Suno. I’m making music I want to listen to in the shower, in the car, and sing along with. I’m sharing it with the world because I genuinely hope other students will make use of it and take inspiration to create their own Anatomy Metal.”
