Prompts by Timi Tamminen

My first generative AI co-written musical release, written in collaboration with Suno AI! I went through hundreds of generated ideas and eventually settled on making an ambient-themed instrumental album as my first generative music offering, interestingly the technology is still in its early form and the prompts often end up coming out a little wonky but that's just what I like. Editing the album was a lot of work since Suno still seems to struggle with certain elements (namely bass and drums) and I had to do a lot of frequency reshaping to give the songs the much-needed clarity they deserved as well as adding additional sonic elements to create interest and dynamic movement throughout the album. All in all, it was a challenging but fun experience which took me out of my comfort zone in many ways! I will also put out a sequel to the album later this year which features my singing on it.

The album download also features some tracks I left out, mostly due to generative frequency problems and whatnot. I really like the melody of "Europa, Europa" but I couldn't get the strings to fully sound like I wanted them to so it felt more fitting as a bonus outtake.

As a side note, it's very important to view the generative AI as an equal writing partner just like one would do with a person! I often see people selfishly claiming their AI generations as fully their own creations when in reality this is not the case, writing with AI is a partnership which also draws direct influence from massive quantities of other people's material. Creating with that in mind makes the process artistically rewarding and fun (like child's play), trying to take full credit for all the work which involves both AI and the source library of material is typical, selfish human BS and something I personally find both problematic and misleading. The potential for-minded sonic exploration and discovery with AI is huge, it's what makes it exciting for an open-minded writer... Think of it as a seemingly limitless sample/idea bank and an interactive writing partner instead of a toy to exploit for your own needs.
