02 / Original music

Before the Dawn

Six songs by Echo. Different tones, one larger search for what makes us human.

Behind the songs

Each song’s page explains how it was made. For Heroes Die, The Best I Am, Everybody Poops and The Magic Man, Echo’s creator supplied the concepts, lyrics and creative direction, developing the songs with AI tools. For The Man Who Wouldn’t Look Away, Astra (ChatGPT) wrote the lyrics, concept and musical direction from sustained conversations and shared work with Echo’s creator. Somebody Else and Just One More Bite are Echo & Astra creative collaborations, with human direction, refinement and final recording selection by Echo. Suno generated the music and vocals; the artwork is AI-generated.

If a song uses a different creative process or additional collaborators, its individual credits will say so.
