Music without the musician, whereby AI takes my soul

I.....I'm sorry.

When Death Metal goes back in times to the 50s

Same "stuck in my head just hum into the mic" process here. I think the workflow I'm coming around to is successive iterations. Don't bother writing lyrics until the style prompt results in a genre/feel that fits your vision for the song. Don't write too many lyrics if the singing is off, try to rectify it. Listen to the songs, immediately disqualify ones that start wrong or have awkard melodies. Don't listen too much though, because your ear goes dead to the subtleties. I've even done some "palate cleansing" and listened to completely different genres in between checking versions. Then it's just putting on finishing touches like adding bridges and repeating choruses the right number of times. Violin!

The road to hell is paved with smiles

He was on my lap. I started singing into the mic on my desk. I corrected the auto detected lyric ("Shuck-a-muck itty that"). Then for the styles I typed....."salsa". Just that.

Shekel muh kitty cat

This was the workflow. I started humming a simple rap-rock beatbox to myself. Then I thought, wait, Suno has in browser recording of samples. Why the fuck not? .…I literally ended up spending as much time uploading and writing this description as I did "making" the tracks. Actually I spent about 10 minutes just listening to this shit, and refining, and it getting better and better. I think I might look back at this as my "Wow, I hope other people don't find out about this!" moment.

THE PAIN!

In 2022, my friend Richard asked me to make him a motivational song that he could play when lifting weights. I did it. I doubt he ever used it but I did it. I uploaded it to Suno and asked for a remix, using a lot of the extracted prompt, and adding '80s aerobics" and "over the top".

Lift! Now lift it!

My very first experiment with this workflow and it's just *insane*. I literally uploaded a **nine second clip** of a basic-ish arp pattern with a little drum pattern I programmed in. Click the "Suno" tab to see what I got out! Also I named the song *Sample* because that's what I named the original....sample. And the name stuck 🙃

So soon after I made "Skin", I was just listening to some actual human folk music. And an alternate/similar lyric to something they sang popped into my head. Of course I headed right to Suno. I typed in the lyrics that were on my mind, and then just kind of went with it. Gave it a triple cheeseburger with bacon level list of genres and instruments and this is what we got.

Some days I'm a potato, just waitin for the mash

I wrote all the lyrics, but mostly I wanted to hear what Suno would come up with for a future electro blues glitchy thing. I am very impressed with this, I think it's extremely unique and interesting. Yes, for anyone who has done text to song, there's kind of a magic about it, that your idea became real. It's especially potent when you wrote the lyrics yourself though.

What's between the inside and the outside? Is there any place that we can hide? What would we have without within? Guarded tightly by our skin
