A soft demix of The Real Thing by Tony Di Bart. Classic 90s house track. ❤️‍🔥

Real Thing - Club Pulse 95

A little bit of an experiment for me with a different way of using AI. You  chat with the AI "agent" to create and then edit/modify your requirements. Rather than having to use an external agent, rather than creating a prompt and trying it out. Maybe my explanation does not do the process justice but it feels much more natural. Discussing the workflow and the direction of an arrangement, etc; just as one would with a collaborator, I guess. That's how Tunee Hit me anyway. Just for this song, I let the AI engine take the strain over the lyrics. I described  rough draft, how I wanted the structure of the song to work, and the dynamics / instrumentation. I really felt like I contributed.

Let Me Settle Down

This is the first attempt to create a song in Tunee. I deliberately let the AI "Agent" lead me on this to explore how the process worked. I did outline the lyrical content, but did not offer any specific lyrics. I was absolutely knocked out by the lyrics the AI Agent came up with compared to the  plain text story, I had outlined.  I was offered three genres/styles based on the outline and the meagre description I had given. After the process, two versions of the song were provided as seems usual with most software of this ilk. The AI Agent then offered a number of ways of improving the song, as might be expected after listening to a first cut. I actually liked this and had already decided that I would stick with this first offering; I would explore deeper with subsequent songs.  The only issue I had with the song and the process after this first try was that I was very unsure about the title, which I had not specified.

All-in-all I was very happy with the experience and decided to take it further.  Tunee has a free  subscription as does Suno, with fewer  goodies and like Suno does not offer the song for commercial use at this level. Not an issue for me as I do not monetise the songs anyway. I just enjoy writing songs and exploring the AI assisted potential .

PS the lyric outline , very briefly, was that an aging rock fan was thinking about past concerts and increasingly he was seeing many of his rock-gods passing away. He was remembering concerts attended by himself and friends in his youth.  As I said above I was astonished by the lyrics provided by the AI Agent, probably much better than I was used to. I have not edited the lyric as I normally do. Not to ay there are several places where it could be edited positively. This is offered as-is for the benefit of the exercise.

Six-String Hymn

I make no apologies! My kind of music, music of my early teens which has stayed a favourite genre all my life. Guitars, bass an drums, real music.
Oh yes, crafted by Tunee AI to my specifications.

Nightwaves (instrumental)

A rock duet from Tunee, I have given this AI just a short synopsis of the lyric for each of the sections in these experimental  exercises with Tunee. At first I was happy with the generated lyric, meant I could do more with the musical side, etc. But if I do find that I decide to work with this as an alternative source of demos for my songs I will definitely do more work for myself on the lyrics. The titles are a problem, and like this one I use the hook, generally from the chorus to improve  the title. I am very happy with the way of working compared with Suno and will hold back comments on the quallty for now; but all comments will be looked at carefully and much appreciated. Anyway, hope you like this  song.

The Ocean Knew Before We Did

the last of a week of experiments with, this lyric was generated with just a prompt from myself, a precis for each verse and chorus. The real reason is to confirm the ability of the AI agent to take a conversation and generate music to match. Must admit I like this, hope you do too

Driving Home to You

A relaxing tune in the style of "sixties surf music". One of 8 tracks from Tunee

Guitar Glow (instrumental)

Late-ish November with Christmas rushing  toward us! I was in my car, waiting for my wife - again, I had my notebook and a pen in hand and started writing, This is what I came up with. Later at home I sat down with Tunee and completed this track.

Christmas Without You

Another song which Tunee AI has helped me to complete, an alternative rock ballad about  a relationship which isn't working and is brought to an end. I had been toying with this theme for some time, starting with a chorus but getting bogged down in details in trying to tell the story. The AI agent walked me thru a bridge and then a fourth and final verse. I am  very happy with the way the process works on Tunee, which is just like having someone to collaborate with.  I am helped with ideas and make the final choices. I would rather write by myself but sometimes I have to admit that the extra input really works.

I have been writing songs since1959 until the present. As a songwriter, I am more than happy with the wide range of songs I have written over the years. But my musical skills are quite limited and the early demos on Soundcloud are of me singing  and accompanying myself on guitar or latterly ukulele. I can strum the strings well enough, but there my skills end.

Recently I discovered Suno AI and the results astounded me. I could finally produce demos of my songs to be proud of. I am currently going thru my catalogue of songs and producing AI assisted demos. I know many musicians turn away from AI but it has a place for me. There is no other way I could have obtained some 300 demos to this level. I do not and do not intend to look for any reward except the satisfaction that hearing my own songs gives me.

I am still writing and hope to have many more years of songs left in me, Enjoy if you can and I would love to hear your comments on the tracks, if the music moves you at all.

Made crude underground house/techno/ebm music in the early 90s.

Coming back to music after a long hiatus of many years.

Now AI and I can dive into many new directions. Embracing the future. For better or for worse...!?

Most of my tracks start as simple ideas in BandLab. Then extended and remixed with Suno (Studio).
