A new song, very different for me..... No idea where the theme/idea came from, but whilst uploading to SC, I realised that it is similar to the last upload, written decades ago (in the sixties) although that was not in my mind when I sketched the idea. I was actually at a Fairport Convention gig, and during their "warm up" with some of their early folk songs, I was distracted by this idea and virt...

Another of my earliest songs, not sure where the inspiration came from probably hear a song on the radio and used it as a model for my own version. Would have been early-mid sixties, no dating on songs this old in my notebooks unfortunately. It is again a remix of another version using Suno. with my cloned voice on the vocals. I have kept the backing sparse to remember it's origns.

Another song I Was listening to and decided to remix with my cloned voice (just for myself). A vanity project if you like, but why not? I have two previous versions on SC one a soft rock number and the other is the one I have remixed this from. I'm sure that in the future I will do many more of these for my own listening pleasure, after all it's why I started writing songs all those decades ago. H...

Just ringing the changes, here is an alt. rock number crossed with Americana and brass stabs adding interest. Again, I am totally responsible for the lyrics and my cloned voice (one I do not use very often) performs the lead vocal.

Busy weekend, but found time to post another new song. My own lyrics and using Suno's clone of my own voice. I am finding that I am tending to use this genre as a personal style more and more. I do find I am very happy with acoustic guitar and a rhythm section. Hope you like it.

A new song, lyrics by myself. I originally thought I was happy with it, even tho' it breaks one of the "rules" of lyric writing. The verses are sung to different people!!! verse1 is sung to a partner; verse2 is sung to a possible interloper. I am wondering if this is confusing to a listener, maybe the lyric should be rewritten, maybe to even create two new songs. Would love to hear any comments yo...

This is the last (hooray) of the Version6, experimental tracks which I intend to upload - as fully finished demos. This obviously doe not mean I will still be trying to stretch my understanding of the capabilities of Suno. Specifically, I described a situation and then found an image which I thought added to the scene; V6 will actually include a photo, etc, as part of the prompt for a song. Or eve...

Sorry for the late addition of the detail of this track. This track was one of a few which Came from a series of experiments with Suno V6, I wanted some new lyrics as Suno seems to remember songs from the lyrics and I felt this would compromise the results of the trials. in these cases, I prompted with a short summary of what I wanted to say and Suno produced the lyrics I needed. For a small numbe...

Please bear with me, this is another of my V6 experiments using a short prose poem to prompt the place and mood; and then using the new model to generate a lyric. For new listeners, "The Circle80 Initiative" is the name I use for the artist (s). Please don't ask why, I think I wanted to model it on artists like "The Alan Parsons Project" etc. Signified for me Suno + myself / suno persona (now Voic...

Another result of my experiment with Suno V6, this time using the V6-wild model. The title and ideas were mine, but I left Suno to do it's worst with the lyric. I think it worked very well, showing how much better the model is now to generate lyrics. With previous models I have had to edit the lyrics, even though I have been experimenting with new features and wanted several quickie songs. I actua...

One of those things, you see/use a phrase and say to yourself, "that's a cue for a song". Happened to me a couple of days ago, and simply had to challenge myself... Hope you like it. Though I did not prompt for it, sounds like a barber shop harmony group?

I feel as if I am giving in to the Dark Side. The lyrics have been generated by Suno from a piece of prose describing the theme and what I wanted to say in the lyrics. I am so pleased with the final outcome and what Suno made of the section of prose which I supplied to Suno. The reason I did this was because I was experimenting with V6 and wanted some quick, fresh lyrics which I had not used befor...

Again, a result of experimenting with Suno's new model; however this time back to using my own lyrics. The original title was "A house is not a home", then googling the idiom (a well known english phrase ), I found out that there was a song written by Bacharach and David in 1964, and recorded by several notable artists. Mmmmm, maybe the idea was dredged up from my early memories, so....... I decid...

This is a follow up from the last track uploaded, I used almost the same prompt for style but a different Voice. This is because I loved this experiment with Suno V6. There is a story behind this song, for once it is autobiographical. Not something I normally do, in fact very unusual for me. I had been trying to write this sone for a while, but it just wouldn't work in the conversational style of...

Still experimenting with V6, the song I am covering here was one of the first I worked on with Suno V3.5. I have to admit in those early days |I was prompting for lyrics with a title and a few lines of the chorus &/or verse. I did however edit the resulting lyric to suit my style.. In this cover I was trying to generate vocal stacks ( I used several other songs hoping that I could enhance the voca...

A trial of the latest version, V6, of Suno. A cover of the song of the same name

Well after that little excursion I am back in more familiar territory. An alternative Rock number (do you know what the definition is?) a broken relationship seems to have run it's course, but has it really? Hope you like it.

And now for something completely different! (apologies to Monty Python - again). I have set many of my poems music with Suno, but most of my poetry was quite short and this had left me unable to use it. UNTIL I came across this: https://soundcloud.com/re-ma-614543942/prague-by-renata-stefa-ska . Thanks for the idea Renata! A haiku for those who are not sure is a 3-line japanese poetry form, with l...

A latin alternative rock song with orchestral rock vibes. I am now using my cloned voice almost exclusively with the Suno AI songs. The funny thing is I had started to hear what I thought was my voice on other tracks recently, it is difficult to be objective because you can alter any voice/persona by prompting. E.g. set the required voice and then prompt for tenor/bass or baritone; husky/rough or...

I have always liked this song, but decided that I would cover the original version, already posted on Sound Cloud, but using my cloned voice. - I would love to go back and do this with all my favourites, but..... Anyway, I hope you like this version, I will say however that I cannot sing like this, though I have been practicing a few of the Suno generated versions, for my own enjoyment. These are...

It has been a while since I have deviated from a similar style prompt, Well here it is. No special reason for sticking to a particular style, it just happened while I was experimenting with fairly minimal differences in some style descriptions. However, I felt a need for raising the tempo for this "Latin - Jazz" version of an alternative rock track.

This is an old poem, which I have set to music and restructured to be more in the format of a song. I have posted a reading of the original poem on SC a few years ago, but never set it to music before. After MIL died, My wife had to sell the family home in which she grew up, in many ways a sad experience. But the poem tries to think ahead and the memories we make with our own youngsters.

A warning: if you can listen to the very end, there is a twist in the tail which you may find amusing. This was something I learned from a song by Hank Marvin in his song "London's Not Too Far". In my usual way, I started writing the lyric without planning out how to end the song and after several cul-de-sacs, I remembered this little trick. Never used it myself before but ir seemed appropriate he...

TBA

Another of those songs which took me for a walk. I had no idea where or how I would get to the end when I first wrote the title. I have also been playing with creating short video loops from Suno - fairly unsuccessfully so far. Difficult to create a loop which doesn't jump as it loops - even with the help of AI. Pity I cant put these videos on Soundcloud though. But I hope you can enjoy the music....
