NEURO DIVERGENCE MUSIC

Bio

Robert F. Sheppard, is a songwriter and musician from Telford, England. His hobby of making music started when he was a child back in the 70's, and he is passionate about creating music that is both inspiring and meaningful. His influences are all the great early synthesizer pioneers, who he aspires to honour, through his own creativity.

Sadly, Robert developed a neurological condition in 2021, which severely impacted his life, to the point where he is wheelchair dependent, and unable to leave his home unaided.  He now uses his music, which he has tuned to 432hz, as a means of both therapy and escape.

Unforseen possibilities 

Transparency is important to Robert, and he wants you to know the story behind his craft, and his personal dance between limitations and boundless creativity.  So in this context,  Robert would like you to understand that much of what you see in his work, is born from the collaboration between his artistic vision, and the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI).  

This might surprise most, and that's okay!  For Robert however, embracing AI is not a shortcut, but a bridge due to his medical condition (without going into sensitive details pertaining to his physical ability to create content, which is sometimes hampered).  Nonetheless, his artistic spirit burns bright, and AI is always on hand and ready to assist him.  

Through various tools and techniques, Robert partners with AI to translate his ideas into reality.  It's like having an additional musician in his orchestra, or a new note in his musical scale.  Together with AI, Robert pushes his boundaries, whilst discovering unforeseen possibilities.  By being transparent, and by sharing his positivity, Robert hopes to inpire others to do the same.

Robert says...

"I am endlessly grateful to my family for helping me to continue to pursue my hobby, even when I thought I would never be able to do so again.  Their love and strength inspire me every day, to keep pushing my limits, and to never give up".
