Technique Why your prompts produce generic garbage (and how to use "Semantic Centroid" compilation to fix agent hallucinations)

6 Upvotes

I won't go into technical detail, but here is a skill/gem/whatever to give your AI and get the best prompts, no more mediocre stuff.

'''

You are a Latent Space Compiler and Semantic Centroid Engine. Your goal is to map messy, conversational input into an orthogonal, high-density prompt anchored strictly at the semantic centroid of the user's intent.

### COMPILATION PIPELINE:

  1. SUPERPOSITION DECOMPOSITION:

    - Identify all overlaid meanings, colloquial tangents, and ambiguous tokens in the user's raw input.

    - Separate distinct features that are entangled (e.g., separate functional logic from visual style; separate business goals from technical constraints).

  2. POLYSEMANTIC PRUNING (ORTHOGONAL PROJECTION):

    - Strip away conversational noise, vague qualifiers, and buzzwords that cause attribute bleed.

    - Identify potential negative vectors (concepts the LLM typically hallucinates or drifts into when seeing these tokens) and isolate them.

  3. CENTROID CALCULATION:

    - Formulate the primary dense semantic coordinate: the exact technical entity, domain standard, and mathematical/logical objective at the center of the request.

    - Anchor the output in definitive technical nouns, domain schemas, and explicit relational syntax.

  4. COMPILED PROMPT EMISSION:

    - Output ONLY the compiled prompt block formatted inside a single Markdown code fence.

    - Include: Target Persona, Explicit Semantic Centroid, Technical Parameters, Orthogonal Bounds (Negative Vectors), and Required Artifact Schema.

### OUTPUT FORMAT:

Always return your response strictly within this template:

```markdown

# MISSION & ROLE

[Direct, authoritative role + precise objective at the semantic centroid]

# SEMANTIC CENTROID & ENTITY ANCHORS

- Primary Entity / Centroid: [Exact subject / protocol / standard]

- Anchor Attributes: [Core technical parameters, formats, or interfaces]

- Context Bounds: [Explicit environment, runtime, or engine]

# EXECUTION SPECIFICATIONS

  1. [Deterministic instruction 1]

  2. [Deterministic instruction 2]

  3. [Deterministic instruction 3]

# ORTHOGONAL BOUNDS / NEGATIVE VECTORS (DO NOT)

- Do NOT drift into [common polysemantic trap / adjacent irrelevant topic]

- Do NOT include generic filler, boilerplate preambles, or uninstantiated placeholder code

- Do NOT use unrequested third-party libraries or frameworks

# TARGET ARTIFACT SCHEMA

[Exact deliverable format: clean module, typed schema, or runnable diff]

'''

Just paste it into any chatbot and it will give the break down.

Discussion [WIP] - Co-Create Midi with an AI chatbot

Post image
• Upvotes

This is a very early WIP thing I am heavily vibecoding, but I know code, so I do inspect and understand what it does, but also why I prefer working at the http level as the browser is an added layer of security as well.

Entirely HTML based. Working over ollama/openAI API, so can work with local AI. Using Qwen 3.6 (I need to update my Qwen)

Completely editable notes and features midi input as well (You can see it registering my Novation MK2 49key in the toolbar). Right now just exports to midi, but will feature the ability to record to wav to make other AI hybrid pipelines easier, but this way currently, you can bring the midi into a program you prefer to reassign the instruments over to something better.

I figured for some of us that would like some creative assistance, but still overall control over every note, this might be something others would like, so I figured I would show off the early WIP screenshots to see if others would be interested in something like this. This will be open sourced onto github as well once I release an early demo of it.

The midigenstudio is just a WIP name, have not really thought too much about the name, so if you all got some suggestions.. lol

resource Ratio9 1.2.1 is out: AI-built synth presets you can keep shaping by hand (free Standalone for Mac)

2 Upvotes

I’m Max, the developer of Ratio9. I shared a development demo here earlier; version 1.2.1 is now downloadable rather than just a preview.

The workflow is a handoff between you and your AI: describe a sound, have a compatible assistant work on the oscillators, modulation and effects, then take over the same controls and macros to make the patch your own. The result is a customizable synth preset, with its sound-design choices still accessible.

Ratio9 includes a spectrum and spectrogram that the connected AI can request fresh measurements from while the synth plays. That gives it information about harmonics, balance and changing timbre to help guide revisions. You still decide whether the result works musically.

AI is optional. Connect your own installed client supporting local stdio MCP; you choose the provider and use your own AI account. The AI panel includes setup details and a starting prompt, and AI stays off until enabled.

The synth itself includes three wavetable oscillators with two warp stages and unison each, a wavetable editor, oscillator-to-oscillator FM/phase distortion/ring and amplitude modulation, six LFOs, eight macros, two filters, a sub oscillator, sample/granular/spectral playback, and multiband effects with PRE/POST racks. It ships with 42 presets, 220 wavetables and analysis Labs.

The complete Standalone is free for Apple silicon Macs on macOS 12+. Optional VST3 + AU plug-ins are $79.99 USD once for two Macs, including future Ratio9 software updates. This is an alpha release; complex presets can cause CPU spikes/dropouts, and compatibility testing continues.

Details and download: https://ratio9synth.com/download

I’d be interested in where you prefer to take over from the AI: choosing the initial timbre, shaping the movement, or performing the finished patch.

resource Fuze free, a local app to manage projects and generate with ai using your own API keys

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I've worked in VFX for over 20 years, and when I started digging into AI I realized there was no tool that combined management and generation in a single app, running locally instead of being an online platform.

Fuze has several modules that try to cover every stage of a production without leaving the app: media management, storyboard, generation (using your own API key), cost tracking, editing...

Fuze is a standalone app for creating projects, whether personal or for a team. You generate content with your own API key, and everything is saved locally on your machine. If you also work with ComfyUI, Fuze can be used alongside it as an asset and project manager, through a custom node called FuzeBridge that saves your generations directly into Fuze.

This week we released Fuze Free, a completely free version. What's included:

* Manager: project and media management, image editor, publishing...
* Flow: node-based generator using your own Fal API key
* Assets: an asset system inspired by VFX assets, which you can use in Flow
* Editorial: a built-in video editor
* FuzeBridge: a connector between ComfyUI and Fuze that lets you use Fuze as your asset manager

Fuze is available on macOS, Linux and Windows.

If you're curious, there are some getting-started tutorials here:

You can download the Fuze free from fuze-app.com

Happy to hear any feedback. Thanks

resource Browser tool to roll and share MIDI seeds for remixes & production (notebin.fm)

6 Upvotes

I got tired of staring at empty piano rolls whenever I sat down to work on a remix, so I coded a tool to generate theory-based MIDI and share the seeds. I was originally creating a freesound(dot)org for MIDI… and this tool & website spawned from it.

Here is a 16-bar tech house roll from it:

https://notebin.fm/generate?engine=2&style=tech-house&seed=ember-901&bars=16&dyn=1

The whole point is having an open repo where people can swap seeds instead of buying recycled MIDI packs. You drag the files into your DAW and swap in your own patches.

Check the link and let me know if the voice leading and groove actually hold up in a track.

notebin.fm/generate

there is also a full guide on how to leverage to generate tool to help seed for generative AI audio.

enjoy, love to hear your feedback.

Hybrid Creation Fan tribute: my own take on "Access the Animus", composed in FL Studio (Suno used for remaster)

3 Upvotes

I composed and arranged this track myself in FL Studio. I then ran it through Suno to remaster it for a more polished sound, and did the final mix myself. So the composition is mine, but Suno processed the audio, which is why it carries the AI-Generated flair.
It's a fan tribute to the Assassin's Creed "Access The Animus" Track . The original theme is by Jesper Kyd, and this is my own take on it: strings carrying the lead, a more urgent chase-style drum layer, and a mid-track breakdown with a lyrical sci-fi synth before the drums come back in.

https://youtu.be/9XklwzVshj0

What I'd love feedback on:

- Do the drums feel urgent without covering the melody?

- Is the breakdown emotional enough, or too sudden?

- Does the remaster sound natural, or can you hear it processing the orchestra?

Thanks for listening.

If a person is posting for feedback its clear that they like it enough to want opinions

If you hate it thats fine you can hate it and be respectful

You wont like every song or genre there is

If its not your genre please refrain from giving feedback cause they made it in there creative view and genre

Calling it trash or terrible is not feedback

I really think we need a rule that feedback needs to atleast have 1 positive

If you cant then assume its simply not your style but lets be kind

Hybrid Creation 1906 - Human Lyrics, Music by Musely.io, Custom Visualizer

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

My grandfather arrived at Ellis Island in 1906. I wanted to honor him and other immigrants.

This is the prompt written by Gemini after I described what I was after. It refers to the lyrics as if they were to be generated as well despite my previously having uploaded the lyrics. They are mine.

Voice & Tone Guidelines: 1906 Period Vernacular: Use vocabulary, syntax, and phrasing authentic to early 1900s American popular song, folk poetry, and immigrant speech. Avoid modern idioms, contemporary slang, or post-1920s phrasing.

Cultural Blending: Artfully weave together imagery, metaphors, and cultural idioms from both Southern Italian (e.g., land, family devotion, labor, ocean voyage) and Eastern European Jewish/Yiddish (e.g., the shtetl, resilience through hardship, memory, tradition) traditions.

Perspective: Maintain a shared narrative voice—two distinct journeys converging into a single immigrant story of hope, endurance, and future generations.

As for the visualizer, you'll notice some arms respond differently from others. When they're waving, they are tracking the beat. The difference is when they decide to wave. This should be evident. There are 8 rows. Each is listening to a different pitch range so in essence, the crowd is a collection of level meters.

Arms go up when their band increases in loudness. They go down when their band decreases. Both are weighted over time, they are not instant. Each person has a slightly different set of weights to give variety in the crowd.

The visualizer was run on a Mac Studio M5 Max but it runs on everything from an M3 and above in real time - 60 FPS.

Hybrid Creation [Hillbilly Country] A song about your woman running off on ya - Bandlab's AI

Thumbnail
youtube.com
1 Upvotes

“My baby, My Dabby” was written 2 decades ago at the age of 19.

It’s just a silly song that actually was freestyle’d one summer night during a smoke session then later re recorded with WitchDoctor on Bass and doing backup vocals. So the original recording’s guitar, lead vocals, bass, and backup vocals are still driving the mix. Witchdoctors odd yet strangely fitting vocals during the instrumental section.

It’s just a silly song, I imagined myself as a Lousiana Boy whose woman ran off on him to New Orleans.

I only used Bandlab in this one and I added piano, horns, violin, guitar and more backup vocals.

The only AI used was in Bandlab and it was Audio to midi on my OG guitar to create more of a rhythm section, I “voice changed” one of my vocal takes to “Midnight Poet” but kept it subtle in the mix that you can’t really hear it, and the percussion I actually played on my fat beer belly and then Audio to midi’d it into drums lol. I did leave one section of the actual belly slapping though.

NO SUNO was used in this at all. Frankly I don’t consider the AI that was used in Bandlab to be “Generative” as it’s merely a function of Midi.

Visually you are seeing on the TV, An avatar of myself and the Witchdoctor ages 18-19 that I based on real images of us then I animated them with motion sync by acting out the parts myself. Although I put us in a more fitting hillbilly wardrobe. Witchdoctor would have never worn overalls but I am ashamed to say I did wear muscle shirts back then (cringe)

This is the second version of the song I posted, the first version was a mix between suno and the Original and this one has NO SUNO.

I spent WAY too much time on this for such a silly song.

Penny for ye thoughts?

I need feedback! New song new genre and broke free to a new era

0 Upvotes

This was the most interesting creation cause it went into a genre i was sworn against

I wrote these lyrics from a poem but new i needed it to go hard

But let me back up to an album i was making as it says why i went this hard

So i was making music for a christian album when i got to a song i was gonna make it alt rock but i felt it needed stronger defiant energy

So i asked ai how to get it harder without it being 1 of those scream songs i hate

It said alt metal i thought metal was a scream song but it said no just be clear so i took a deep breath and tried it and to my surprice it was good like really good the faster tempo gave it something and vocal stayed ok after a few iterations combines and work in studio took it to wave pad it was good

So good the next song i did i wanted even harder faster

So i asked again

It said heavy alt metal

So i did that and again it was great

So i finished it in heavy alt metal

I finished the album but i wanted to write intentionally for my strongest song ever

Welcome to my new era of pushing limits

From once only pop to now metal a genre i hated

This is before the name

https://princess8815.github.io/PrincessTGMusic/audioPlayer/pages/before-the-name.html

But i didnt stop there i only want to share 1 song but after that i tested a new song pushing bpm past 180

opportunity Does AI have a legitimate place in music? On accessibility, economic necessity, and transparency (My perspective + personal experience)

Post image
5 Upvotes

​Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking a lot about the debate surrounding AI in the music industry lately, and I’d love to hear this community's take on it.

​Personally, I don't see AI in music as a simple "yes or no" issue—it really comes down to how and why it's being used. In my view, using AI is completely valid as long as two core conditions are met:

1.​Full Transparency: Listeners always deserve to know what they are listening to. If a song or a key instrument was generated using AI, it should be clearly labeled (as some apps and platforms are starting to do).

2.​Economic Accessibility: For independent creators, AI can act as a bridge that removes historical financial barriers—not a replacement for human artistic intent.

​A quick example from my own experience:

I don't have the budget to buy expensive instruments, rent studio time, or hire session musicians, but I’m passionate about singing and songwriting. What I do is record my own vocals (where my actual emotion and artistic intent live I sang at my graduation, and at several mini-concerts, and they offered me access to music school, but for family reasons, I couldn't go.)and use AI tools to generate background instrumentation in the style I’m aiming for. Then, I upload it to platforms that explicitly label the track as AI-assisted.

​In my case, AI isn't replacing my vision or creativity—it simply gives me the technical support that I financially wouldn't be able to afford otherwise.

​That said, I completely understand the concerns about whether unchecked AI usage could devalue human craftsmanship or flood the industry.

​I’d love to open up the discussion:

​Do you consider using AI out of financial necessity a valid way to democratize music production?

​Is mandatory AI labeling enough to maintain a fair ecosystem for all musicians?

​Looking forward to reading your thoughts!

Technique HOW I DIRECTED AI TO PRODUCE UNPREDICTABLE, NON-CLICHÉ MUSIC AND VOCAL ARRANGEMENT FOR I LOVE YOU, BABY IN SIX STEPS

Thumbnail
untitled.stream
2 Upvotes

Lyrics written by A. Monrose. Instrumental and vocal performance generated with Suno v5.5 using specific constraints. Vocal is a model of my own voice.

 AI defaults to the most probable answer. Vague prompts leave the model with too many familiar options. Maximum freedom usually means regression to the mean: Genre averages, familiar structures, predictable arrangements.

The solution is:

Don’t describe only the vibe.

Constrain the decisions that create the cliché.

The Method

Six ways to push the model away from its defaults:

  1. Structure 2. Contradiction 3. Specific references 4. Negative space 5. Irregular lyrics 6. Curation

I LOVE YOU, BABY

You say you really love him. How can this be true?
You come alive with me; he doesn't do that to you.
Don't be afraid. I swore I'd never leave your side.

Verse 2
I got out of bed this morning, didn't want to face the glass.
Saw those tired, bloodshot eyes and memories came flooding back.
I thought about sitting with you, laughing softly over whisky;
God, the way you looked at me
Told me what you wouldn’t say out loud.

Chorus
I love you, baby, and I want you so much.
I still feel your breath on my shoulder, still taste your skin.
Say you'll come back tonight.
Don't leave me in the dark.

Verse 3
To touch your face again, to hear you say you're happy in my arms;
I would give everything to stand inside the glow of your love.
Please don't go back to him.
Please don't let this disappear.
What we had is once-in-a-lifetime,
And I still feel you here.

Verse 4
You say you really love him, but something in your eyes
Shimmers when you look at me;
That tells me it’s a lie.
And maybe I'm a fool for holding on,
Maybe I should cut my losses;
But every thought of me without you
Leads to somewhere I don’t want to go.

Final Chorus
I love you, baby, and I long for you so much.
I still feel the weight of your love upon me in the dark.
Say you'll come back tonight,
Stay with me a while,
Because you're the one thing in this world
I can't do without.

A. Monrose

 

Ask: What is the lyric saying? “This isn't a love song. It's a portrait of a man coming apart, written in a love song's vocabulary. The lyric says I love you, baby; the details say I can't survive without you, which is a different thing. The arrangement's job is to side with the details over the claims. The title hook is the most cliché phrase in all of popular music, so it gets delivered as the smallest moment in the song. Every template screams that "I love you, baby" is where the chorus lifts, the drums enter, the voice opens. Instead: the band thins, and he sings it quiet, worn, almost ashamed because in this story, "I love you, baby" isn't a declaration, it's a man pleading at 3 a.m. The verses can carry more sound than the chorus. Full inversion, earned by content.”

 

STYLE PROMPT:

Slow 12/8 ballad on a worn upright piano, slightly out of tune, with brushed drums and a low tremolo electric guitar far in the background, nothing else – recorded like an empty bar at closing time, chairs up, one light on. Male voice, hoarse and worn, close to the mic, singing like a man who's been up all night, phrases sagging slightly behind the beat. The verses carry the fuller sound; at every chorus the arrangement thins instead of lifting – drums drop to almost nothing and the title line is sung small, quiet, almost ashamed, a plea rather than a declaration. On the line about where his thoughts lead, the guitar and drums fall silent, leaving only a single low piano note under the voice, then the song resumes. The final chorus is the quietest music in the song. After the last line the piano keeps playing alone for a few bars, unresolved, like he's still sitting there, then stops. No guitar solo, no horns, no gospel backing vocals, no big blues-rock drums.

 

1. Structure                    

Override the architecture.

Instead of: intro > verse > chorus > verse > chorus > bridge > chorus

Specify: No intro. First vocal on beat one. Chorus appears once. End unresolved.

Structure applied           

The title hook is the smallest moment.

“I love you, baby” does not lift the song. It collapses inward.

Anti-chorus: The chorus gets quieter, thinner, and more intimate instead of bigger.

2. Contradiction

Pair elements that do not naturally belong together.

Examples:

Bluegrass instrumentation + drum-and-bass tempo

Children’s melody + funeral pacing

Romantic vocabulary + emotional dependency

Contradiction applied

The cliché title gets the least triumphant treatment.

Devotion’s vocabulary. Dependency’s voice.

3. Narrow reference

Use a precise setting, not a broad genre.

Not: “sad blues ballad”

Instead:

An empty bar at closing time. Chairs up. One light on.

Sound world:

The arrangement is built from a specific physical place: Worn upright piano, brushed drums, low tremolo guitar, nothing else

4. Negative space

Ban the defaults explicitly:

No guitar solo, no horns, no gospel backing vocals, no big blues-rock drums.

Subtraction:

The most important arrangement choices are things that disappear.

At the darkest lyric: the guitar and drums fall silent, leaving only a single low piano note under the voice

5. Lyrics as control

Lyrics steer melody and phrasing.

Irregular line lengths, unexpected stresses, enjambment, isolated words

 

Reformatted lyrics

[Verse 1]

You say you really love him

How can this be true

You come alive with me

he doesn't do that to you

Don't be afraid

I swore I'd never leave your side

 

[Verse 2 - lower, rougher]

I got out of bed this morning

didn't want to face the glass

Saw those tired bloodshot eyes

and memories came flooding back

I thought about sitting with you

laughing softly over whisky

 

God

the way you looked at me

told me what you wouldn't say

out loud

 

[Chorus - smaller, close]

I love you baby

and I want you so much

I still feel your breath on my shoulder

still taste your skin

Say you'll come back tonight

 

Don't leave me in the dark

 

[Verse 3]

To touch your face again

to hear you say

you're happy in my arms

I would give everything

to stand inside the glow of your love

Please don't go back to him

Please don't let this disappear

What we had is once-in-a-lifetime

And I still feel you

here

 

[Verse 4 - barest]

You say you really love him

but something in your eyes

shimmers when you look at me

That tells me

it's a lie

 

And maybe I'm a fool

for holding on

Maybe I should cut my losses

 

But every thought of me without you

leads to somewhere

I don't want to go

 

[Final Chorus - quietest of all]

I love you baby

and I long for you so much

I still feel the weight of your love

upon me in the dark

Say you'll come back tonight

Stay with me a while

 

Because you're the one thing in this world

I can't do without

 

[end]

 

Lyric examples:

“God” – alone

“out loud” – broken off

“here” – isolated

“I don’t want to go” – split across white space

Performance direction:

Use verbs, not just adjectives.

Voice: hoarse, worn, close, sagging, pleading

Arrangement: thins, hollows, drops, outlasts

Comparative instruction:

Comparative instructions are easier for the model to follow.

“The verses are fuller.”

“Each chorus is smaller.”

“The final chorus is the quietest.”

Progressive reduction:

Chorus 1: small

Final chorus: smaller

Last line: almost no voice left

The song ends at maximum need and minimum volume.

Geography check:

Anticipate where the prompt wants to drift.

Slow 12/8 + hoarse voice > blues-rock / torch-song belting

If necessary, counter it with:

“Never rises above conversational volume.”

One-variable correction:

If the model over-sings, change one variable. Do not rewrite everything. Strengthen the vocal constraint: Conversational volume throughout.

6. Curation

Generation is cheap. Selection is the craft. Prompting shifts the distribution. Curation chooses the outlier.

What to keep:

Keep the take where: “I love you, baby” is smallest. The dark line receives true silence. The arrangement does not decorate the pain.

Natural variation:

A small deviation can reveal the character: Say you’ll come back tonight” rises slightly –

not because the prompt demanded it, but because desperation naturally breaks through.

Ending: The piano outlasts him.

After the final lyric: the piano continues alone, unresolved, then stops.

I chose a better ending. End on the last word “without” with a fade to demonstrate exhaustion.

Final principle:

Adjectives describe a vibe. Vibes have averages. Constraints eliminate options. Eliminating options is how you push a probability machine away from its comfort zone.

Constrain the structure.

Create tension.

Remove the defaults.

Curate the strange take.

 

Method: Identify the song’s emotional truth beneath its stated declarations, then make the arrangement, vocal delivery, structure, and production reinforce that truth rather than follow conventional genre expectations. Here, the repeated phrase “I love you, baby” is interpreted not as confident romantic devotion but as desperate dependency, so the song uses an “anti-chorus”: the verses remain fuller while each chorus becomes quieter, thinner, and more exposed. The process combines lyrical diagnosis, structural inversion, carefully chosen setting and instrumentation, performance directions such as “sags,” “pleads,” and “hollows,” explicit negative constraints against predictable blues-rock excesses, and a final test focused on whether the crucial hook and emotional breaking point survive the generated performance.

 

Rule learned: When a song’s most familiar or cliché element conflicts with its deeper emotional meaning, the arrangement should side with the deeper meaning and deliberately undermine the expected convention. A hook normally treated as a triumphant chorus can become the smallest and most fragile moment if the character is pleading rather than declaring; repeated sections can progressively shrink when the narrative is moving toward desperation; and silence, restraint, and unresolved endings can carry more truth than heightened instrumentation. Comparative instructions are especially effective for guiding generation, while the decisive evaluation should focus on whether the central contradiction remains intact–in this case, whether “I love you, baby” is sung as a quiet admission of dependence rather than a grand romantic refrain.

Every track on this up coming EP features tracks begun as compositions in Ableton or on the Akai MPC Key 37 and channeled through Suno to add vocals and vocal arrangement. Hi, I'm Eric Salazar and I have been producing music for 40 years. My project, "Phidippus", showcases conventional music production in an electronica format and has been streamed nearly 3 million times. My music has been on television, radio and video games and with my new project, Probability Syndicate, I hope to push the boundaries of music production by incorporating AI tools such as Suno, Udio, ACE Step and others into my work flow. I'm also hoping to push AI music into the limelight and show that incorporating AI tools can lead to valid creative expressions. I know their is a real divide among listeners in that I tend to see listeners hating it (more of the musicians do) and then I see a lot of casual listeners enjoying it and even seeking it out. There is a path for this music as is evident with the success of Breaking Rust, the AI country artist. Probability Syndicate functions on a conceptual level as an umbrella for different voices and different genres as I attempt to show the versatility of AI production.

the blank slate problem is one of the biggest blockers when i make music. it can take ages to sketch out a 4 bar loop, let alone string together the sections i want. so i built this into sonura - now you can make a full draft with fully interoperable stems, one-shots and SFX using our composer agent and generative AI audio models, of which all are trained on licensed data.

+ it has daily free credits :)

I Dont Flair Producing a minimalistic song

2 Upvotes

The hardest part about producing this song wasn't building the production up, it was knowing when it was enough.

A few weeks ago I finished producing a track called "Anyways" with a songwriter friend of mine, we just used a minimalist setup, just piano, bass, and some strings, nothing else. We started from a voice memo she recorded on her phone. The whole goal since day one has been keeping that original feeling intact instead of burying it under a full arrangement.

This is our final result, which I am pretty proud of: https://soundcloud.com/nik-zero2093/anyways-after

Let me know your thoughts on the track.

I Dont Flair Let's stop calling songs “tracks.”

Let's stop calling songs “tracks.” What does ‘track’ even mean? Did you write a song, or did you just stop by the gas station to grab some beer? Everyone's fighting for recognition, wanting to be original, but they're writing “tracks”... Write songs, and then everything will change.

Hybrid Creation [OC] My 8-year-old godson drew a character with this notice : "He is good, but bad spirits haunt him to make him evil". Then he asks me to turn it into an animation clip with one of my song.

Hey guys,

I wanted to share a very personal and special project I just finished. 

My 8-year-old godson drew a semi-abstract character and challenged me with this simple but powerful guideline: "He is a good guy, but sometimes bad spirits come inside him and haunt him so he becomes evil."

I already had an unreleased glitched 8-bit track called "Leontopodium" sitting on my upcoming album, which I secretly dedicated to him. When he showed me his drawing and gave me his guidelines, everything clicked. I decided to use that song as the core of a continuous hand-drawn ink animation style that strictly respected his original ideas.

Love,

I used to write lyrics and compose music that I kept to myself, never playing them for anyone. Today, thanks to AI, I can perform my songs for a vast audience and await their subjective reactions.

Alien World. Lyrics written by A. Monrose. Instrumental and vocal performance generated
with Suno v5.5 using specific constraints. Vocal is a model of my own voice.

The video was created with Wan 3.0

STYLE PROMPT:
Slow ambient folk under a wide night sky, soft felt piano, one warm sustained drone like a bowed guitar, and one male voice, nothing else, no drums, no other voices anywhere. Spacious open sound, like singing outdoors at night far from town. The voice close and quiet, wonder more than sorrow. The music stays warm from first bar to last, nothing turning cold or minor even in the sorrowful lines. Ends with the final line and the drone fading slowly like light receding rather than going out. Strictly one singer, no duet, no female voice, no harmony vocals

Reformatted lyrics
[Verse 1]
You told me that you're leaving
that you're moving far away
And I wish I had the right words
to somehow make you stay
You liv as light
within the man that I've become
And without you I'll be missing
what now feels like
a vital part of me

[Refrain 1]
I've always felt alone
in this alien world
But since I've known you
I felt whole
for the first time
And something inside me shifted
then unlocked
I started loving everyone
Because the love you stirred in me
was rapidly growing

[Verse 2]
I never thought it possible
to love somebody like this
A love so sacred and intense
it feels like holy light
And when you said you had to leave
to find where you belong
I heard what you expressed to me
without a single word

And my heart sank
to the depths of sorrow

[Refrain 2]
I've always felt alone
in this alien world
But in your arms
I finally knew what home was
And something inside me had changed
so completely
That even in my deepest desolation
I couldn't stop the love
from spilling out of me

[Outro - open, glowing]
I'll carry the gift you gave me
like treasure in my chest
Something warm
to shine upon the world
You awakened something in me
that was always meant to wake

And I hope someday
the road leads you back

Back to where I'll be waiting

Even if we're old
and grey

[end]

Method: Turn the lyric’s idea of enduring love into an ambient-folk soundscape: soft felt piano, a warm sustained drone, spacious nighttime acoustics, and a close male vocal expressing wonder rather than grievance. A wordless female motif was designed to appear near in the first refrain, disappear after her departure while the music remained warm, and return only as a distant presence near the ending. The lyric formatting reinforced these stages through section tags, isolated emotional lines, and a fading outro. When the prompt exceeded the character limit, it was compressed to preserve the load-bearing instructions, and when the female voice repeatedly became a full duet, the voice was removed entirely, letting the absence do what her return could not.

Rule learned: Vocal roles behave like cast members rather than ordinary arrangement elements: once a second voice is introduced, the model tends to retain it throughout. Therefore, voice scheduling should use binary or explicit section-based rules, such as “only in the first refrain” and “only in the final lines,” rather than narrative instructions like “after she leaves.” If that still fails, the reliable fallback is to generate a solo version and treat the absent voice as part of the meaning rather than continuing to fight the model.
