As promised on my last upload, here is a different version with extended instrumental sections; and less vocal repetition. For interest, other aspects of the prompting were exactly similar.

One of my songs. I originally Put through Suno as a jazz number. It is on Soundcloud but it was really experimental, and so decided to try to cover it as an alternative rock number. I am quite satisfied with this version but will be uploading an alternative as my next upload; much the same but with extended instrumental sections - too good not to use. Anyway, hope you like this and as ever, all co...

What can I say? I was amazed to discover that I had not covered this song during my time with Suno. Only written a few years ago, and one of my favourites. I thought I had covered "ALL" of the songs I had thought worthwhile - now I am having to check back over the last 21 months or so. Still just think of the fun I will have! This track is a cover of my original demo, just me and my ukulele so of...

Prompted by a stress reducing (?) saying. "Forget the past, it's already gone". I wrote the lyric about a couple whose relationship was on the rocks (not auto biographical, which I really don't do) where one of the couple was trying to say that only the present was important.

Two lonely people meet an they quickly discover an affinity to each other. This was completed over the Christmas period and I have several versions, notably a male/female duet which I also really like. Watch out for this to be posted very shortly. A completely different song in the two versions.

My first new song for a while, maybe a couple of weeks or even three. This due to illness in family and getting ready for Christmas. But you can't keep a good dog down. From a deep sleep and a "so realistic" dream, once awake the sleeper realises that all is still the same.

This is a cover of a classic song, written in 1965 by Buffy St Marie, I tried singing this song during my experiments with the keyboards - and soon gave up the idea of playing and singing. I posted my initial cover of this song on my playlist/album, "The Coming Of The Keyboards". Love the song - hated my cover. But in the spirit of examining the abilities of Suno, I then covered that cover and hav...

[Verse] Whispers filled the empty space. You told me stories, they had no face, Said it meant nothing, just a mistake. But my heart knows of no escape [Pre-chorus] A shadow falls A memory calls [Chorus] I can forgive, but never forget. That ghost lingers, in my heart yet. My trust it took, the hardest hit, I can forgive, but never forget. [Verse 2] The scent of her perfume, tho’ a tiny trace, Left...

Oh... I have had this title in my head for the past week. Just couldn't do anything with it, hence the number of "EDM/dance inspired" instrumentals these past few days. I don't often give up with a lyric but maybe to persistent rain pushed me over the edge. A long walk often works to get me writing... But Suno came up with this lyric when I prompted with the title. I was really amazed , not a situ...

A cover of an improvised, track as part of an experiment with a borrowed keyboard. BTW, the track from Suno was much shorter than the original. But then, I couldn't choose which track to use for this upload - so I actually stitched two of them together in audacity. The first a very shortened version was quite quiet so matched it with a version which built up very nicely to give a climax.

This is one of two vocals on the abum. Recorded in the same way, with that "one finger" keyboard backing plus the auto rythm/bass. I had problems with singing and playing at the same time and I guess this was the real reason I did not percevere with keyboards and returned to the guitar. However, it is not obvious from the Suno cover, a real indication of the coping skills of the AI engine. On the...

Yet one more cover of one of my very early keyboard improvisations, recorded on cassette using a karaoke m/c.

Not my usual "happy place" when writing but this sort grew out of a n inspiring quote I happened to come across - always open to a good title/idea. In fact there were 2-3 quotes along the same lines (roughly) which I borrowed. Although after completion I did have to listen to the song a few times before deciding to post it here. Kinda reminds me of a TV interview of David Bowie I watched bac in th...

I am so used to lyrics, I am getting into a right mix with these few remixed/covered keyboard compositions - about a quarter of those planned in the short term. Plus, I I am finding it difficult to make a choice after I have generated multiple iterations with Suno. Wonder if I should put words to them? You will notice a similarity in the titles of these tracks - it is on purpose and all will be on...

Another of those "one finger" improvisations I recorded on tape cassette playing on my one of my son's keyboards. NB only possible using auto rhythms/bass.

Not my usual fare, but was at a loose end and this sort of eased out. Don't honestly know why - apart from the obvious and having been dragged around doing Xmas shopping. Anyway, it is what it is, I think the church bell sound effects from pixabay may just be a little sombre, But they do produce a great contrast - if you listen far enough into the track, LOL

This was a cover of a track from last August. I had thought it wasn't up to scratch and whilst looking for something on my HD, came across it and could not remember it. I played it to try and find out why - I don't usually give up on my lyrics. Even if they are not that good. But this one was simply not right. Looked up the lyrics and found out why! It was obviously one of those lyrics which I had...

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.

Another wordless track, that's instrumental (not worthless, it's not a typo). A cover of an improvised keyboard track, I recorded some years ago whilst "playing" with my eldest son's keyboard collection. Plus auto percussion and bass. The original , for info, is on Suno on an album "The Coming Of The Keyboards. It's the 13th track - not named, on that album. Oh yes, this is a two-for-one offer, co...

I have been reviewing some notes I made on the work I have done with Suno over the last 18 months or so. I happened to look at one of my Suno "personas", a duo I called "Just-in-Love", and could not find the original Suno file for this song. Panicking, I decided to try and improve on it by using V5 (the original was with V3.5) and of course my prompting skills have improved. Here is the result, I...

A change of direction. Feeling as if I am getting into a rut, I decided to use a different genre for once. Partly because the lyrics seemed to need it. Anyway, hope it hits the spot.

The last of four ambient guitar tracks on this EP

Night Lounge Drift by John Dyhouse

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

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
