I’ve recently gotten obsessed with Suno, an AI music/song generator. And I got the idea of having it generate music to fit the books.
Here’s what I have so far:
https://suno.com/playlist/1d5ed2b2-bc66 ... d7613c49e3
There’s at least one song for each of the six books, with several for The One Tree. The Suno app generates the music based on directions/prompts. For the songs with vocals, I used the ChapGPT app to give me lyrics, then edited them and brought them into Suno.
I haven’t yet taken any of the songs actually described in the books and tried to put music to them; that’s one of the future goals for this.
It’s all very much a work in progress, since I’m still learning how to write and structure the prompts to get better control of the output and get closer to what I want. And some of these tracks need to be run through an audio editing program (one track ends abruptly mid- verse, for example).
That said, I’m pretty happy with what I’ve got so far. I especially like “Keeper of the Seventh Ward”, “Infelice (Guardian of the Balance)” and “Into the Banefire”.

Not being at all musical, I suspect that music is one of the new AI fields that I am unlikely to explore. Pretty damn cool though.

Nah - only Rick Wakeman would be up to the task of doing music for the Chrons. Right era as well.

That sounds like an amazing project! I love the idea of using AI tools to bring the books to life through music. If you're interested in experimenting further with AI-generated vocals or enhancing your tracks, you might want to check out audiomodify. com.
It's a great platform for creating AI-generated voiceovers and could help you add an extra layer of depth to your tracks, especially for the lyrical parts. It might also offer some flexibility for refining vocals or generating unique voice styles to match the tone of your music.
Keep up the fantastic work! I can't wait to hear more of what you create—"Keeper of the Seventh Ward" and "Infelice (Guardian of the Balance)" sound especially intriguing!
