It is difficult to believe that someone can conceal so many adventurous instincts. Beneath that calm exterior, Louise Harrison has a thirst for adventure and fresh challenges.
It is difficult too to equate that with someone who is also very much into music. From being on stage with her folk singer father playing the violin, Louise Harrison has traveled the planet. Happily she has decided to stay on the Riviera in one of the smallest countries on earth, Monaco.
It is hard to believe that Louise enjoys the ice and snow albeit without the dark nights, but also loves plunging beneath the waves in submarines. The type of submarine that scientists use to explore the depths of the remaining unknown territory of the planet, the ocean. It is this desire to seek out interesting and, some would say, daring opportunities that keeps Louise open to fresh adventures.
Perhaps it is not on the level of trudging over snow or diving beneath the ocean, music is another passion that Louise has always been eager to find a way back into music. She has written many songs, some have been written by request from musicians. The thought has crossed her mind that the musician’s life may have been for her which was quickly dampened by the knowing reality of a musician’s life. That said, Louise did perform many times and I had the pleasure of seeing her on the sadly lamented Stars n’ Bars Stardeck. The girl can sing!
Struggling with the need to express herself musically whilst at the same time holding down a dynamic job, there seemed to be no solution. Then, AI popped up. AI does provide an avenue for the creative person to produce something complex without the need for additional creative resources and technical expertise. Never one to miss a chance, Louise took AI on, and won. It was didn’t create exactly what she wanted, but even with scores of other people involved the result is so often not what was envisaged. Added to that Louise found an AI creator who is well known after taking the pre-video music of Kraftwerk and bringing it into the video world. That AI creator has produced her video. You will enjoy listening to and watching Little City – Out of My Mind.
