You can create your own music in 1 minute

If you haven't seen this yet, you soon will

It’s been awhile since I wrote about AI, so I want to give you a quick update on some cool tools that are out there.

Firstly, check out Suno (or any one of its other music generation competitors).

You can tell the AI what style of music you want and what the lyrics should be about, and wait till you see what you’ll get within a few seconds.

Since no one wants to spend valuable time on something without knowing if the output will be worth it, I’ll do it for you now.

Here’s my prompt:

A funky jazz song about Drago’s Musings, a blog that “unpacks life’s uncertainties” across a broad array of topics, including philosophy, psychology, technology, culture, religion, and investing.

And here’s what we get:

The lyrics ain’t bad.

But if you want to provide your own lyrics, just flip the Custom Toggle.

Check this out:

Do you notice how Meta this version is? 😄 (I put the preceding contents within this blog post as the custom lyrics - click “play”, if you want to, and read along)

Anyway, here’s what I think is cool about this tool:

- I’ve used this to create apologetics songs, as well as theme songs for my startup, Holy Habits.

- I created a custom playlist for my wife (Pro-tip: do this for the next Birthday/Christmas/Mother’s Day/Anniversary/Valentine’s Day/Just Because. . .)

- Compared to recording instrument tracks and vocals one by one and then mixing them (not to mention actually deciding on the chord progressions, the lyrics, the melody, etc.) this technology is a >100x multiplier.

- When you listen to songs in general, there’s always some part of them that doesn’t fully resonate to the unique situations that encompass your life. Instead, you can now generate music that is specifically about your own lived experience. . . a love song that’s about your love, as opposed to a generic archetype of love.

Image Generation of Famous People

If you’ve tried generating images with AI, you’ll notice that they prevent you from using real people.

If you want to bypass that, try a platform called RenderNet

It gives you a ton of control on your outputs, allowing for swapping of particular objects within a steady image, “squinty eyes” illusion images, QR code generators, etc.

That’s all I have for you now.

There are some other useful tools I’ve come across, but these are the ones that will be more interesting for you to discuss in your next AI conversation.

Stay real,
Drago
