ChatGPT / Claude
Concept, tracklist, lyrics, prompt refinement. Claude helps write and critique, but does not generate the final audio or cover image.

Make a music album with Suno
From concept, artist direction, lyrics, and Suno prompts to cover art in Midjourney and final release checks.
Finished example
A complete AI music/video result.
Tool stack
Which AI should you use for each step?
Suno
Main tool for songs: vocals, instrumentals, lyrics, remixes, stems, and variations.
Midjourney
Album cover, single artwork, moodboards, and visual style exploration.
Canva / Photoshop
Final cover sizing, typography, exports, and social posts.
Workflow
From empty idea to usable result.
1. Define the album concept
Choose genre, emotion, audience, story, visual references, and what makes the project recognizable. Think in a small world, not just separate songs.
2. Build the tracklist
Ask ChatGPT or Claude for ten track ideas with tempo, energy, theme, and purpose. Cut it down to the strongest five or eight.
3. Write lyrics and Suno prompts
Work per song with genre, BPM, vocal style, instruments, language, structure, and mood. Use Suno for the music itself and generate variations until the hook works.
4. Create stems and alternate versions
Use instrumental versions, vocal versions, or stems to make edits, snippets, teasers, loopable sections, and social content.
5. Design the cover in Midjourney
Translate the album concept into a visual prompt: subject, style, colors, camera, composition, material, and format. Add text later in Canva or Photoshop.
6. Check rights and quality
Check license, plan, usage rights, volume, spelling, metadata, cover format, and whether the style imitates an existing artist too closely.
Concrete examples
Make the workflow visible before you start.
118 BPM, bright synth-pop, warm vocal, short intro, optimistic hook, clean drums, no artist imitation.
A neon sunrise over a small studio desk, glass synth keys, soft cinematic light, editorial album cover, no text.
A 12-second instrumental hook loop with cover crop, animated waveform, and one short caption.
Starter prompt
Use this as your first brief.
Create a concept for an English synth-pop EP about optimism after a stressful season. Give me 6 tracks with title, theme, BPM, vocal style, Suno prompt, and a Midjourney cover prompt with no text.
Portfolio references
Borrow visual language from finished work.
These Aivion Studios portfolio pieces are useful as reference points for mood, layout, cover direction, or web presentation. Each card links back to the portfolio source.
Website concept reference
Concept Site
Use as a reference for landing-page composition, polished visual direction, and vibe-coding output.
Product interface reference
Podflix Site
Useful for explaining how an AI-built product can move from idea to interface.
Midjourney-style visual reference
Fantasy 01
A strong example for mood, cinematic lighting, and visual world-building prompts.
Level
Easy, Medium, and Expert approach.
One song: choose genre, mood, and topic. Generate three Suno variations and pick the strongest hook.
One EP: create a tracklist, consistent sound, recurring words, cover style, and short social snippets.
A release package: stems, instrumentals, cover variants, motion loops, metadata, planning, and channel strategy.
