How-to AI

Make music

Go from a genre and a mood to a full song — or a complete EP with cover art.

What you can make

Song draft A 3-minute track with vocals, structure, and a hook — ready to review.

Instrumental A loop or full instrumental in any genre — no vocals, just texture.

EP concept 5-8 tracks with consistent mood, a tracklist, and a visual direction.

Album cover A Midjourney image that translates the sound into a visual direction.

Tools

How it works

Step by step.

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.
