  • Birds & Visitors — my garden, live on the internet

    Aebe

    Not everything I do happens on a screen. Some of it happens right outside the window: birds at the feeder, a hedgehog at the water station at night, wildlife that shows up when you give it a reason to. As an old photographer, I could not resist pointing cameras at it — and that grew into live streams, nestbox videos and a whole collection of clips.

    To share all of that, I started the Birds & Visitors Facebook group and the Birds & Visitors YouTube channel. Members share their own garden visitors too — photos, videos and nature clips from wherever they live. It is a friendly corner of the internet, and I keep it that way.

    Where to watch

    The live cams and latest videos are on the Birds & Visitors page right here on the site, and everything lives on the YouTube channel. If you like slow television with feathers, you will feel at home.

  • AI Music Tips — and the birthday songs I make on request

    Aebe

    If you have looked around this website, you know I make a lot of music — jazz, lofi, cinematic, handpan, vocal tracks, and everything in between. What you may not know is how much of that is me experimenting with AI, learning what works, and making every mistake there is to make so you do not have to.

    That is why I run AI Music Tips: a practical group for anyone who wants to create better music with AI. No hype, no secrets behind a paywall — just what actually works, from someone who releases music every month and likes helping people get further, faster.

    And yes — I take requests

    Something I am asked about more and more: personal songs. A tune for a birthday, an anniversary, a wedding, or just to make someone smile. I make those on request for $10 per song — send your wishes through my contact page or straight via paypal.me/aebe with the name, occasion and style in the note. A one-of-a-kind song is a gift nobody else will give.

    Curious about my own music first? It is all on the music page — every song and every album.

  • Why I started AI Photo Video Edit — and why the edits are free (Within reason)

    Aebe

    Before anything else, I was a photographer. I spent years behind a camera, and just as many in front of a screen, building my own websites by hand. These days I let AI do a lot of that work — and honestly, I enjoy it just as much. I simply like playing with the computer, and I like editing things for people.

    That is really the whole reason my Facebook group AI Photo Video Edit exists. Members post a photo or a video, and I edit it for them. For free. Old photos, damaged photos, funny ideas, “can you put a crown on my grandma” — I have seen it all, and I love doing it.

    Free — with one honest exception

    The AI tools I use are not free for me. The subscriptions cost real money every month, and a retirement income only stretches so far. So the simple edits stay free — that is the heart of the group and it will not change. For the big, complex jobs I ask $5 per picture (or 3 for $12), paid in advance, and I deliver within 12 hours. That small fee is what keeps the free edits possible for everyone else.

    Want to see what it is all about? Join the group and bring a photo. Or look at my groups page for the details.

  • “Who Am I” — the story behind the new release

    Aebe

    My newest track, “Who Am I”, went live on Spotify, Deezer and YouTube on August 1st. It’s a quieter, more reflective song than some of what I’ve put out recently — built around a question I keep circling back to: who am I, really, once the roles and routines are stripped away?

    What the song is about

    I wrote “Who Am I” as a lyric-driven piece rather than a production showcase. I put together an official lyric video that walks through the words line by line, which felt like the right way to present a song about self-reflection — no distractions, just the questions I carry, the choices I’ve made, and the person I’m still becoming.

    Listen now

    You can stream “Who Am I” on Spotify, Deezer, or watch my official lyric video on YouTube. It’s also featured at the top of my Music page, alongside the rest of my catalogue.

    More new music, and more posts here on the blog, are on the way — thanks for listening.
