Technology that feels human.
Creativity that actually ships.

Hello, I'mChiradeep, a Creative Technologist

A quick hello…

Yea..It's Me

Come hang for a minute.

This is me, beyond the portfolio. A visual introduction to the ideas I explore, the things I create, and the questions that keep me curious. Technology, music, photography, writing, and everything in between - brought together in one frame.

Curated work

Three studies here. The rest of the set is one step further.

One quest, sized to the time you have.

A quest system that builds one doable action from interests, time, and place, then remembers what you actually did so the next one is not a repeat.

  • Quest fields are structured - time, place, difficulty, medium - and the model fills them. It does not write an essay.
  • Personalization reads interests, context, and previous quests, so the next action is neither a repeat nor a leap you cannot make.
  • Memory stores experiences: what you tried, what you avoided. It does not store a chat transcript.
  • The loop is discover, do, complete, remember. The screen asks one question: what should I do now?

Photo to music to language to image.

synesthesia.chiradeep.me
synesthesia.chiradeep.me

A creative system that reads atmosphere, rhythm, and structure in one medium and constructs another, then lets a second person challenge that reading.

  • Image, audio, and text share one semantic layer. The output is an interpretation, not a file conversion.
  • Chains keep history: photo to music to text to image, each step the input for the next.
  • Interpretation battles give two people the same source and two competing readings.
  • Generation runs after feature extraction, so meaning is structured before a new medium is made.

One next action, always named.

path.chiradeep.me
path.chiradeep.me

A learning system that turns a broad goal into a prerequisite graph, maps resources onto the nodes, and answers one question: what now?

  • A goal becomes a graph of concepts and dependencies, not a syllabus and not a list of search results.
  • A node stays closed until its prerequisites are done, so the path cannot skip the foundation.
  • Courses, docs, books, and exercises attach to a node. They do not replace the path.
  • What now reads the goal, the completed nodes, and the current project, and returns one next action.

Same ideas, different language.

Music & Sound...

I record at home, mostly at night.

Soft dream-pop loops when the house is quiet, bedroom takes that never leave the room, then something cinematic or ambient if the night runs long enough.

  • BandLab
  • FL Studio
  • GarageBand

BandLab on the couch, FL Studio when I sit down properly, GarageBand if the melody won't wait. Whatever is already open usually wins.

A title appears when there is a recording to name.

Published work, under its own title.

Books & Published Writing...

The Inward Silhouette cover

A treasure born from my imagination..

You recognize a person by their outline. But outlines don’t show what’s breaking, building, or quietly unraveling inside. This book lives in that gap between the self the world sees and the one that never surfaces. A mirror you didn’t know you were holding.

Questions I would rather test than assume.

Research & Experiments...

Yea.. these are the ones I'm still chasing.

Read the investigations

01

Done

AI-assisted ideation, originality, and ownership

How does AI-assisted ideation change the originality of human creative work, and the sense of owning it?

A completed comparison of unaided and AI-assisted ideation. Originality, perceived ownership, and perceived agency were measured as separate things. Scored tables are not printed on this page.

In progress

Emotion across instrumental and vocal audio

How does music emotion recognition differ between instrumental audio and music that includes vocals?

A study in progress on whether music emotion recognition treats instrumental audio and vocal audio differently. The DEAM files are downloaded. They are not validated for training, and no models have been run.

Looking at ordinary things a little longer.

Photography & Visual Art...

A short look across the photographs, with artwork directly underneath.

Thinking out loud, in colour.

Artwork...

These drawings got tired of living in a folder.

Six of them talked their way onto the homepage. They are not a series. They just showed up and would not leave. The rest are on the artwork page, acting innocent.

What is still mine when the model can answer?

05/Philosophy & Reflections...

Still circling these. Open questions I keep running into — originality, identity, what making is worth when the model can answer. Not essays. Just the shelf I'm still walking.

Enter the shelf
  • What making is worth when the next suggestion is cheap.

    01Creativity and originality

  • Where a tool ends, and a person still has to begin.

    02Human identity and technology

  • What it is like to notice, and why the noticing matters.

    03Consciousness and meaning

  • The middle of the work: drafts, takes, and frames that do not survive.

    04The creative process

  • What the technical practice keeps turning up, and will not settle.

    05Questions from the work

Have an idea...

Have something to build.
