The acoustic archive
50 recordings going back to the mid-2000s, most of them posted to his YouTube channel. A guitar, a room, and songs about the things you write songs about at that age.
Songs, recordings and productions
The same songs,
twenty years apart.
Alex Merced has been writing and recording since the mid-2000s: a guitar and a camera first, then years of electronic production, and lately a set of those early songs rebuilt with an AI model. This is where all three live.

Songs written on a guitar, handed to a model
Eight songs from the archive have been rebuilt with Suno in styles they were never written for: disco house, salsa, rock. Each video opens with a clip of the original recording, so you hear where it started before you hear where it went. All eight have an accessible original in the archive.

What is here
The electronic catalogue
274 tracks produced in FL Studio, 11 hours 40 minutes of it, filed under electronica, electro pop and glitch hop out of Brooklyn. It is scattered over ReverbNation, two SoundCloud accounts and YouTube, so the full list is assembled here.
What he does now
The day job is data and AI, so the music comes in bursts: 334 newer songs generated on Suno, tagged indie prog, and the occasional acoustic take when a guitar is within reach.
