Still cranking out versions of my songs from the murky past, helped by SUNO AI. I write the lyrics and the melodies and prompt the AI by uploading an acapella sample of the song for the AI to "follow" and emulate my own voice. Post-editing and mastering on Audacity. "A step up" for someone who has only sung and posted these old songs with a simple guitar/uke backing in the past,

Still cranking out versions of my songs from the murky past, helped by SUNO AI. I write the lyrics and the melodies and prompt the AI by uploading an acapella sample of the song for the AI to "follow" and emulate my own voice. It does sometimes have a mind of its own, and in this the vocal is not really my natural style - but I like it - and it is in line with the genre selected. Post-editing and...

Another old-ish song, created with AI. Showing how I use a voice sample (Acapella) to prompt the AI with my own voice and the original melody used for these lyrics. Copyright John Dyhouse

Settling in to using Suno to demo my songs. I am now uploading samples of me singing (acapella) the first verse and a chorus up to the 60 sec max allowed. This prompts the AI to adopt and use my voice which means all my songs have a standard voice if I prefer ( and thank you, auto corrects the pitch) and also prompts the AI with the melody and the way I scan the lyrics (all provided). I can struct...

A difficult piece to work with. The AI really couldn't cope with the "free form verse structure" of the song. It was a song I wrote as one of a pair with "The Cat" also on Soundcloud, using a method of randomising headlines from a newspaper to make some sort of sense. I had come across in a TV interview with Davivd Bowie. After quite a few iterations changing the genre/editing the lyrics, I comple...

Really enjoying playing with AI. This was actually an early experimental song. Many of the first couple of dozen songs were generated from an idea, a title and a synopsis - to save time and hold back my own songs, although there are well over two hundred written between 1959 and to-date. This was one of those generated songs. Thanks to Suno for a great few weeks fun - so far. The song is copyright...

Another possibly strange choice for an AI assisted song. When I wrote this, the lyric had a peculiar structure which almost created a song in two parts. So It was a particularly difficult song for the AI to scan properly. In fact I treated it as two separate parts and then stitched them together in a DAW. relatively pleased with the result. I also did a version which was slower and produced a harm...

A complete experiment with SUNO AI. I wrote this lyric some 40 years ago as an experiment in constructing a lyric from random headlines in a newspaper ( following a TV interview of David Bowie in which he talked about writing songs). I was very aware of the awkward nature of the structure of the lyrics and wanted to see how the AI coped. I was pleasantly surprised. I had in fact started to upload...

"i WANNA TELL YOU A STORY", I drove my eldest son and friends back from a sunday school meeting when he was abot 8 yrs old (1979). On the was home, they were excitedly talking about a Childrens TV cartoon from the Previous evening. Amazing what imagination kids of that age have. Anyway, I made a note of the conversation, when I was back home. Of course, I added a few interesting "facts" and wrote...

This section is called Battle Is Near, the realisation that it is to be fought is clear, sounds that could be early clashes are head in the distance. Another of these danged AI offerings, this one comprises several generated clips stitched together In audacity. It tells a story see of Freedom. There is no political association with the title, simply that one of the iterations (at a time when the i...

A different approach to this ballad. I played Suno a sample of my voice (only) singing some made up nonsense. The song was written by me in the very early sixties, one of my earliest songs. It existed only on paper (the lyric) and in my head ( I did sing it occasionally, nowadays backed by a ukulele. But no demo as far as I remember). I spent some time on this one, as I had a good idea what I want...

This is an AI assisted track. The Lyrics are original and were written because of a small accident I was trying to get an instrumental track from Suno AI, however I was stuck on an issue and couldn't work out how to correct it. I took a short break and knocked out a quick lyric, I rather like it and used it for the song instead. It actually prevented the problem, and moreover turned out to be one...

A unplanned song working with Suno AI. It was wet yesterday, but the silver lining was that it kept me from the gardening, an idea flashed thro' my mind for a song. A happy song, with a theme of making memories based on experiences with "Summer Rain". Being a happy song - of course the main instrument was a ukulele. Did not expect to like it as much as I did, but I loved it. Bouncing along with th...

These lyrice were written, from memory, in the early sixties. (Too lazy to get my early notebooks out!) However, they get a new lease of life with a prompt for Suno, so enjoying this project to bring these old lyrics up-to-date. Copyright Suno, used here under Suno terms of usage.

I wrote these lyrics about three years ago, long before I had coe across AI assisted music. And It was a song I liked very much, in fact a ukulele demo was posted on soundcloud 3 years ago. The danger with prompting with the existing lyrics, is that it is not always possible to force the AI to create a song with a familiar tune. But I thought I would try with this one. Not easy and not helped by t...

The song was originally written in 1961/2 . Still playing around with Suno AI, I was trying to lead the AI to sing songs in the style and with a similar timing to my original lyrics. It is easy to create something new from the lyrics but I wanted to have it sound like the original, just better produced and with instruments that I cannot play, Two things make it difficult; the first is the sheer ra...

The last AI generated track - for now, just round off the playlist to a round dozen. LYRICS THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW [Verse] Bleak horizon stretchin wide dark whispers in the air Broken dreams and shattered pride tomorrow ain't been fair Can we mend these tattered wings rise above this black and blue [Verse 2] Shadows linger in the past ghosts of yesterday Holdin onto memories that just won't fade a...

Still enjoying my free Suno AI account with this song. Am considering upgrading for more time (credits) to be able to create more iterations and better results hopefully. Suno claims copyright for songs created on a free account. LYRICS: DANCING WITH SHADOWS TONIGHT [Verse] Why am I dancing alone Why am I here in the dark Feel the beat under my skin But it's tearing me apart [Verse 2] Why do these...
