A one-person record label.
WHAT THIS IS
Half Ahead is a record label that I – Piotr Nowiński – run for my own songs. I write them and put them out under a few different band names depending on what they sound like. The label is what holds them together.
The name "half ahead" comes from an engine order. "Full ahead" was never available – there's a job, a house, a family – so this runs at half. Half ahead is still ahead, though.
HOW IT'S MADE
Every lyric is mine, written by hand. The voice, the instruments and the arrangements are generated with AI from my direction, sometimes even pieced together from multiple takes. Final mastering is then made manually.
