This question is not so easy to answer. The author of the lyrics would be me, but with the help of Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet. It took me two or three iterations to finally get the text that I had in mind. The music was again prompted by me using Udio 1.5 beta. Again, it took two or three initial attempts and some refinements until I had exhausted my daily allowance of credits with which one needs to pay for the service. The performer is 100% computer generated but I asked for a voice like that of Johnny Cash.
The "cover art" of the music piece was done through Udio (because Udio only allows user provided "art" with the paid pro version), my guess is that it was made using DALL·E 3 which is the current state-of-the-art image generator, at least among those that are publicly accessible.

As of now, music generated with Udio is not copyrighted and can be freely distributed as long as a statement like "created with Udio" is provided. See here: https://support.udio.com/hc/en-us/articl...ed-Content
There exists no CD (yet) but a link to the original piece on the Udio website from which it can be downloaded and/or modified, extended or enhanced just like any other open source content: Memories in Numbers

NB: I have been working on a French version as well (but with a completely different orchestration) for which I have to wait a little more until I have replenished my credits.
