Handshake Radio
100% free-range, organic, original human-written lyrics, as well as "field demos" rendered by AI to give the songbook acoustic animation.
"Field demos" are not presented as finished recordings — but rather, as invitations to music.
Signal broadcasting for musicians, listeners, or anyone who wants to engage in the other half of the handshake.
Handshake Radio
Handshake Radio archives original lyrics by Jake Weld, and also broadcasts AI field demos to provide examples of the lyrics in motion.
Ranging in landscape, voice, and genre, the project explores songwriting as craft, witness, and invitation through Americana, blues, folk-punk, bluegrass, country, and beyond.
These lyrics and field demos are offered as the start of a conversation – the first half of a handshake.
Handshake Radio’s signal broadcasts on all major streaming platforms.
