In Episode 1 - ABBY & THE ROADKILL, we meet Widlovsky, a 60-something die-hard Beatles fan, who’s grappling with nostalgia. As he searches his cluttered apartment for a missing box of "Savoy Truffle" chocolates, Widlovsky reflects on his life, filled with Beatles memorabilia and bittersweet memories. He attends a wake for his late friend at the "Crossroads" blues club, where he encounters Abby, the fierce lead singer of the band "Abby & The Roadkill." Their interaction stirs memories of a past love, as Widlovsky begins to recount an important event from his youth during the socialist era. The episode artfully blends humor, music, and reflection, introducing themes of memory, loss, and the enduring influence of the Beatles

All texts, voices, songs, music and singing, were developed and performed without AI. However, AI tools were used in two specific instances: (1) background music was generated using MuseNet Beatlesque samples, and (2) the background pictures were generated using Dall-e, both with meticulous creative Natural Intelligence labor of love using story-based prompts and post-generation manual finalizing
