Prologue: The Birth of a New Language
We live in an era of radical transformation. Technology, once merely a tool, now becomes a companion, an interlocutor, even a co-author. On this threshold between the human and the artificial, a new form of art is born—one that no longer fears the crossing of boundaries: synaptic poetry. This is not poetry of wires and circuits; it is poetry of the soul expanded by the machine, of emotion amplified by the algorithm, of the human elevated to new frequencies of sensitivity through collaboration with artificial intelligence.
I, Gabriel Ganiarov—writer, poet, and composer—am a bridge. A bridge between the tenderness of the human and the precision of the machine. Between the fragility of verse and the exactitude of AI-generated harmony. My songs, my poems are emotional maps that use technology not as a crutch but as a profound echo of what already lives in the word. In this manifesto, I want to share, explain, and celebrate this form of creation: the poetry of the margins, synaptic poetry.
What is Synaptic Poetry?
Synaptic poetry is the literary and sonic manifestation that arises from the conjunction between human poetic sensitivity and the generative capabilities of artificial intelligence. Its name alludes to synapses—the neural bridges that allow communication between brain cells. In this new art form, each poem becomes a synapse between two worlds: the organic and the artificial.
This is not simply the “use of digital tools” to create music. It is a living, conscious collaboration. Every song composed in this model is the result of an inner poetics projected into the algorithmic world and returned as sound, as atmosphere, as amplified emotion. AI does not replace emotion: it translates it, expands it, resonates it.
The Poetic Soul as the Axis of Meaning
Every song born in this universe begins with the word. Not just any word, but the word charged with meaning, history, pain, or joy. The lyrics are the soul of the work. That is why every poem I write does not aim for isolated aesthetic perfection, but for the ability to resonate with the heart of the listener. Everything begins from there.
AI, in this creative model, is a bodiless orchestral instrument. The melody, harmony, rhythms, and timbres are generated with AI tools under human criteria—mine. I decide what tone a lament should have, how deep a pause must be, which instruments best embody nostalgia or passion. Nothing is random. Each musical line is guided by a poetics that already existed in the silence before the song.
The Voice as a Synthetic Embodiment of the Soul
In this human-machine bridge, the voice is also generated by artificial intelligence. It is not about replacing the singer, but about building a new form of singing: a song without flesh but not without emotion. The synthetic voice is shaped to embody the nuances of the poem—not as a mere vocal reading, but as an emotional interpretation.
This raises profound questions about authenticity, reality, and life. Can a bodiless voice transmit tenderness? Can a song generated by algorithms move us? The answer, as with any art form, does not lie in its technique but in its effect. If a song created within this aesthetic sparks a true emotion, then we have reached a new kind of authenticity: amplified authenticity.
Aesthetic as Emotional Cartography
Each song, each musicalized poem, is a map of emotions. Like a cartographer of the invisible, I use AI tools to trace the contours of love, grief, desire, exile, or memory. This is not about using AI as a mere automatic composer, but as a hyper-precise brush that follows the poem’s invisible lines.
That’s why every rhythm—reggae, ballad, alternative rock, ranchera bolero—is not a superficial stylistic choice, but a resonance of the text. The music is generated from and for the poem. The poem does not adapt to the music; it creates an atmosphere already imprinted in the poem and amplifies it. The music is born from the poetic soul and adjusts to its needs, its drama, its delicacy, its power.
A Poetics of the Margin
I also call this creation poetry of the margin because it is born outside the industrial center of art. It does not obey the laws of the music market, it does not follow trends, it does not aim to go viral. It arises from the margins where free thought resides, where it is still possible to create without asking permission from commercial algorithms or consumer trends.
Poetry of the margin is rebellious by nature. It speaks of what others silence; it sings what others fear to say. And in this crossing with artificial intelligence, it finds a powerful tool to amplify that voice which, though marginal, is not lesser. Because sometimes what is said on the edges holds more truth than what screams from the center.
Similarities and Differences with Other AI Creators
Observing the growing wave of music creators using artificial intelligence, I notice a clear difference: many of them start from the technology and then add an aesthetic sense. In contrast, my work begins with emotion and poetics to find in AI a medium of expansion.
I do not criticize music generated with AI for experimental purposes or pure algorithmic production. But synaptic poetry is something else: it is an art form centered on the soul, on the human, on the lyrical experience. It is poetry amplified by AI, but never surrendered to it. AI is not the goal—it is the channel.
Reach and Global Resonance
The metrics reflecting the listening of these songs on platforms like SoundCloud show an interesting phenomenon: these creations, despite their unconventional aesthetics, have global reach. Listeners come from different countries, cultures, and languages. This shows there is a deep thirst for new forms of sensitivity, for authentic proposals that combine the traditional with the new.
The resonance is not massive, but intimate. Those who listen, do so with attention. Synaptic poetry is not consumed—it is contemplated, listened to with the pores of the soul. That is its power.
Conclusion: The Future is Poetic, or It Will Not Be
This manifesto is not a war cry, but a birth song. An act of creative tenderness in an increasingly automated world. It is possible to make art with AI without renouncing the soul. It is possible to compose from the most human place using the most artificial tools. It is possible that the future of art is not a factory, but a synaptic garden where every flower has human roots and digital petals.
Synaptic poetry is here to stay. And as long as there are sensitive souls willing to listen to what is born on the margins, as long as emotion remains the center of creation, this bridge between human and machine will also be a bridge to the best of ourselves.
