Radio Insomnia (resurrection)

著者: Anders Bjarby
  • サマリー

  • One sleepless night can spark a creative journey. A year ago, in July 2023, insomnia led me to create "Whispering Pines with Dante Emberwood," a dreamy podcast designed to lull myself to sleep. Little did I know, this experiment would position me as a pioneer in AI audio dramaturgy, as noted in a Medium article ( / im-not-the-first-ai-audio-dramatist-this-g... ) that followed.


    Fast forward to last night. Once again, sleep eluded me, but this time, I was armed with a year's worth of AI advancements. I decided to push the boundaries further and create a pilot for a new show: "Radio Insomnia."


    The Concept

    Radio Insomnia is a late-night show for those who never sleep, broadcasting from a timeless desert town where the weather never changes. It's a place that looks like a deserted ghost town to interstate travelers, yet is alive with the whispers of the sleepless.


    The AI-Powered Creation Process


    What sets this project apart is its end-to-end AI generation. Every element of the show was created using AI tools:


    1. Script: Generated by Claude, an AI language model

    2. Music: Composed by Udio, an AI music generator

    3. Sound Effects and Voices: Created using ElevenLabs' AI voice synthesis

    4. Production: Assembled by a Python script, also written by Claude


    The entire show sprung from a single prompt:


    "Let's imagine radio insomnia, a late night radio show made for those who never sleep. It is slow and dreamy like if time itself stood still. Its broadcasted from a very small desert town where the weather never changes and although people live there it will always look like a deserted ghost town for those few who travels on the nearby interstate road."


    The Evolution of AI Creativity

    Comparing "Whispering Pines" to "Radio Insomnia" showcases the rapid evolution of AI-generated content. In just one year, we've moved from basic text generation to creating entire audio experiences, complete with custom music and voices.


    This project isn't just about creating content; it's about exploring the potential of AI as a creative collaborator. It raises questions about the future of storytelling, the role of AI in creative industries, and the nature of creativity itself.


    What's Next?

    As AI continues to evolve, so too will the possibilities for creative expression. "Radio Insomnia" is more than just a show—it's a glimpse into a future where the lines between human and AI creativity blur, opening up new realms of imagination and storytelling.


    Stay tuned, and who knows? The next time you're up late, scrolling through your podcast app, you might just stumble upon a show that speaks to your sleepless soul—one crafted in the liminal space between human inspiration and artificial intelligence.


    And if you're curious about where this journey began, you can still tune into the original "Whispering Pines with Dante Emberwood" on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2QYP....


    Sweet dreams, or for our fellow insomniacs, happy listening!

  • Radio Insomnia #023 – "The Ancient Curator"
    2025/03/02
    In the eternal midnight of our desert town, a mysterious figure combs the dunes for artifacts from long-forgotten civilizations. Tonight on Radio Insomnia, Alex explores the stories behind these ancient treasures and the enigmatic collector who unearths them. Townsfolk call in with tales of strange objects that seem to whisper secrets of lost knowledge, and Mrs. Pearson makes unexpected contact from... somewhere else. Join us as we discover what lies beneath the shifting sands of time, where artifacts aren't just relics of the past, but perhaps keys to understanding why our little town exists outside of time itself.

  • Radio Insomnia #022 – "Mrs. Pearson's Last Watch"
    2025/02/07
    In a town where time stands still, Mrs. Pearson was our constant observer, documenting every shadow, every whisper, every impossibility in her leather-bound notebook. But three nights ago, she followed voices in the desert wind, leaving only footprints that end mid-stride and a half-written letter. Tonight, Sheriff Carson joins us in the studio to piece together her last known movements, while her lamp still burns in an empty window and her curtains move in a windless night. In a place where disappearances are just another way of staying, perhaps Mrs. Pearson has simply found a different angle from which to watch our eternal midnight.

  • Radio Insomnia #021 – "The Humming"
    2025/01/27
    A mysterious hum manifests throughout the timeless desert town - not quite audible unless you're not listening for it directly. From Maria's diner where coffee cups resonate at different frequencies, to the library where card catalogs quietly rattle with self-updating knowledge, to the pharmacy's subtly flickering lights, the townspeople begin noticing this gentle vibration that seems to exist in the spaces between sounds. As the eternal midnight deepens, the hum reveals itself not as a disturbance, but as the town's own lullaby - a sonic manifestation of time moving so slowly it becomes audible.
