An AI productivity setup for creatives who don't want to touch generative AI. Install Claude Code inside VS Code and let it handle the busywork around your work, research, admin, files, writing, so more of your time goes back into the thing you actually love doing. The web chat version of Claude or ChatGPT compresses your conversation, loses the thread, and forces you to start over. Running Claude Code locally inside VS Code fixes that. It keeps a real workspace, remembers what you're working on, and can read and write files on your own machine. In this video I walk you through the exact setup step by step, then show you a live example: I point Claude at my website and it pulls a clean markdown biography into the workspace on its own. At the end, a first look at Nova, my Networked Operations and Voice Assistant, which is built inside the same environment I just showed you.

Hey guys, I received this question regularly over the last few years, so I recorded a video exclusively for the community. Let's talk about the best paying industry and the easiest to get into.

Hey everyone, Need your help picking the next ComposerOS video. The one I keep coming back to is a track visualizer build. The point: take a finished cue, turn it into something you can actually post on YouTube, without losing a weekend inside After Effects. Most composers I know have a hard drive full of music nobody ever hears. This is the fix. But I'd rather hear from you before I commit to it. Two questions: 1. Would a track visualizer video be useful to you? If yes, anything specific you'd want it to cover. 2. If something else in ComposerOS is higher on your list, tell me what. Whatever gets the most pull this week is what I record. Cheerio, Alex

They teach you harmony. Orchestration. How to make your strings sound cinematic. Then you graduate or finish your course and the entire industry says: "Good luck. Hope someone finds you." The unspoken strategy is: post on social media, submit to libraries, and wait. Maybe network at a conference once a year. Maybe cold email a supervisor with a generic "here is my reel" message that goes straight to trash. That is not a career strategy. That is hope. I spent 20 years doing exactly this. Some years it worked. Some years it was silence. And I never questioned it because I assumed that is just how the industry works. Then I got into the automation world and realized something embarrassing. Every other industry has outreach systems. Personalized, automated, scalable. A sales rep at a SaaS company sends 50 targeted emails a day without breaking a sweat. Each one references the recipient's company, their role, their recent work. Composers send "Hi, I am a composer, here is my reel" to a generic info@ address and wonder why nobody replies. We are literally decades behind. So I built something. An outreach system that researches companies, finds the right people, and writes personalized emails that actually reference their projects. Their latest game. Their recent trailer. The show they just worked on. Because the system actually looked it up. Runs on your laptop. You own it. No monthly fees to some platform holding your contacts hostage. I have been setting these up for a handful of people and I am taking on a few more. If you want to see what this looks like, send me a message.

I've been building something behind the scenes for a while now, and it's ready for you to get your hands on. ADD: New video added: Find companies and let your agent create personalized email for EACH contact. What took days or even weeks, can now be done in minutes! ComposerOS is a course that teaches you how to use AI agents to run your music business. Not chatbots. Not prompts. Actual agents that go out and do work for you: Find clients, write outreach emails, build websites, create content, organize your files, and more. This is the same system I use every day to run GrowBaze, Audio Artist Rise, and this community. I just made it accessible for composers who have zero technical background. It will save you tons of hours during your work week, leaving more time to writing music.
