Biography and discography
Alex Merced,
the musician
Before the work in data, developer education and AI, there were songs: a guitar and a camera, then FL Studio, then a new way to revisit old writing with generative tools.
The acoustic archive
Alex began publishing singer-songwriter performances in the mid-2000s. The surviving archive contains 50 accessible recordings across YouTube and SoundCloud: finished songs, improvisations, alternate takes and ideas preserved in the form in which they were originally shared.
Electronic production
His work later moved into FL Studio and electronic production. The catalog now indexes 274 deduplicated tracks across ReverbNation, SoundCloud and YouTube, including 7 complete albums. The sources describe the music with labels including electronica, electro pop and glitch hop.
