Clarifying a Misunderstanding About My Music and Game Jam Participation

Hello everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to address an issue that’s been affecting my participation in game jams on itch.io. Unfortunately, some users have mistaken the music tracks I create using my software, armonyMaker, as being AI-generated. This misconception has led to my exclusion from certain jams, which is both frustrating and disheartening.

To clarify: armonyMaker is not an AI but a powerful tool I’ve developed to assist in music production. The compositions it produces are the result of my creativity, effort, and the software’s unique features—features I’ve poured countless hours into perfecting. The fact that these tracks are mistaken for AI work is, in a way, a testament to the quality of what armonyMaker can do. It makes me proud of what I’ve achieved.

However, being unjustly censored due to ignorance or even envy is something I didn’t expect to face. I believe the gaming and music communities thrive on innovation and collaboration, and it’s disheartening to see such barriers arise.

I hope this post sheds some light on the situation. If anyone has doubts or questions about how I work or how armonyMaker operates, I’m more than happy to provide transparency and engage in constructive dialogue.

Thank you to those who support my creative journey—it means the world to me.

Best regards, astasio
