Nice lyrics, and the overall direction and structure of this song is solid. Very calming and the style is fun. You're in a forum where you may have a tough audience because most of us here are composers in some capacity, myself included. Maybe one day you will want to learn this art beyond prompting (lyric writing is a skill too which people should not dismiss here). But in the meantime, you're having fun with Suno which helps create more an interest I believe. I also use AI to create musical parodies btw, my main goal is to create laughs with catchy tunes and lyrics. So my stance on this matter will be a little more on the interesting side, especially coming from someone who is developing a music notation application!

Hi, welcome to the forums SeekJohn14v6! I kind of like AI overall I guess, but after listening to this theme you brought here thrice and listening to hundreds of other AI-prompted stuff I would say that I get more or less the same feeling that comes over me when I listen to this kind of "contemporary" music where, more often than not, one could replace parts of the score by "make random noises" and call it a day or additionally scramble the passages and play them disordered. It's not really that I don't like it (some I do NOT like it at all), but that I feel it and find it gray and boring. Judging by your recent posts here guess that you're satisfied with your work already, and I probably would if I was in your position. In fact, I am when it comes to make thumbnails for videos using Stable Diffusion or similar stuff (and then editing them, I must say). This adds up to the little feedback I could give you, unfortunately. I am no lyricist, and English is not my native language, so I'm not much into the world of lyrics so I cannot really point you towards a place where your stuff may be much more appreciated. This is not to say some people will appreciate or at least get impressed by what you have presented here, but I am unfortunately certain there won't be many people commenting on your stuff for any other reason than discussing if your use of AI should be considered a work or not... Perhaps another lyricist somewhere? The thing is there's little to comment since it makes little sense for most to explain what may have room for improvement, musically speaking. This usually helps composers, they rethink stuff and improve on their mistakes. But this is almost nothing like that. Now, I have read somewhere else that you clarify that these pieces are AI generated because you don't want to be a deceiver. That would be like showing AI art in some artists' forum and calling it a day expecting nobody would notice or suspect, right? From your POV it would be easy to deceive people into thinking this mp3 you submitted is not made by AI, I get you. However, and getting the AI song checkers out of the equation, to me and many others here in this cozy lil' forum, this would have hit as AI from the beginning to the end, which is again not necessarily bad, after all I'm just suggesting that many of us here are mostly pretty capable of distinguishing between AI music and non-AI music specially in these more pseudo-bombastic cases. It's an acquired thing. Maybe in a year or two, it'd pass. Depends on how profitable being as meticulous as possible ends up being. I am glad that you can make your ideas real and your lyrics go live with this technology and 0% or a small fraction of what an actual group or a producer would charge you to recording that. This technology will hopefully improve in the coming years and you'll be able to remake stuff better. At the end of the day, again, if you're satisfied, little else matters. But let me tell you that the world of composition is wide, and if you someday decide to venture deeper on it, you may understand why AI-pieces at this very moment are not much convincing to someone like me, musically speaking. That said, I am sure your album and pieces can get a good audience. Masses will never be that nitpicky, and this —and any random prompt as well ngl— is on par or better than half of the mainstream music produced nowadays 😆. Best of luck and Happy new year! Daniel–Ø.

This is EXCELLENT. Points for playing this on the piano. And I love the jazzy style, I absolutely love jazz harmony!

Nice layering of the different melodies! At one point I wasn't sure which song I was listening to because you blended them together so seamlessly. Nice change-up of the harmony towards the end.

And @Tunndy has also submitted a piece:

@SeekJohn14v6 has submitted another song:

My 2nd submission titled “Glory to God” I wrote the lyrics and included bible verses. The song is about God’s goodness and the reason for the season. I used AI, so if you don’t like AI, just don’t listen to it or make any comments on my post. Thanks! This image was also generated by AI Grok Glory to God.mp3

I never seen in fugue written 10 in Lydian. Not until now. The entries of the subject and counter subject in the exposition are done wonderfully. I see no counter point issues. Counter point is one of the hardest things to master once we go through the basics..and fugue writing is excellent way to master that. Those tritones between voices (C nat and B#) are hard to avoid in Lydian mode. But, I think you can figure it out. Do not stop. Keep writing.

I agree with Henry that at least some of those C-naturals should be B-sharps, but really, this is wonderful. Almost mesmerizing. By all means, keep going!

And for my 4th and final submission to the event:

This time I have mixed "O, Christmas Tree" with "Hark! The Herald Angel's Sing!" I included three stanzas of each Carol and each occurrence of each stanza is set differently with the final one being a bit polytonal. Also, this time the mash-up is accompanied by a brass octet instead of strings. And the choir is a SMAATTBB 8-part choir. Thanks for listening and I hope you had a Merry Christmas and that your New Year will be a happy one! I'd appreciate any comments, suggestions, critiques or observations!

Thank you all for listening. The fact that some notes have stems and others do not is to differentiate, within the tintinnabuli technique, between the two types of voices: the melodic voice and the tintinnabuli (or supporting) voices. The truth is that this technique can be taken to very complex levels. I really like it and studied Pärt in some depth.

Hello Wieland, thank you truly for this and happy new year to you. 🥳 I did title the song "bittersweet" but doubted if it fit that title well. After hearing your advice, I think I will definitely keep the name, since it is tinged with a few sad harmonies. glad to hear that I came at the right time(and not just "procrastinating" you see) but I have to apologize about the abrupt splicing of the recordings; I was trying to prepare my materials before going on this family trip, where a real piano will not be available. Anyhow, I am glad I got my submission in on time.

happy new year 🥳

What a charming, if somewhat sad song! Maybe its a fortune that you posted your submission „so late“, since its melancholic mood perfectly fits the imagination of the last piece performed on a party or the piano player is playing his ultimate song while the last guests are leaving the restaurant. I suspect that it is a live-recording. If so, congratulations to that beautiful performance and a happy New Year.

Here is @Mooravioli's submission!

Happy New Year to Hongkong, @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu! Since I was busy with the 2025 Christmas Event over the past few weeks, I haven’t had enough time to continue that piece – and therefore apologies for my silence – I think I will get back to this fugue in the new year. Thanks for the advice concerning C natural vs. B sharp – haha, your C-sharp-minor-biased eyes are looking forward those things instantly. I will check it out thoroughly.

Thanks so much for listening Henry! Glad you liked it 🤗

Yo you can post the piece individually and then link the post here!

seems like i am the last to get my submission in; it's not too late right? since it's 7:14pm,the 31st on my clock. I unfortunately left my score at home(it was handwritten)

Hi @elmarad40! I think this piece really shows the fury of Gods to me. I like the tremolos you use throughout the piece ( it can be written in tremolo sign though), and the brass passages are solemn. Maybe more woodwind passages can be added between those strings and brass sections. Thx for sharing. Henry

Hi @muchen_! I like that you use Baroque tuning in the Recitativo Accompagnato and Aria (also the 8-bit sound haha). It definitely is in late Baroque style esp. with the melisma in the Aria. Thx for sharing! Henry

Hi @gaspard! Juicy English flavour harmonies and ornamentations in these 3 Saltarellos! I enjoy all of them and no way can I tell which one do I hate the least lol! One thing I hate... you should be more confident on yourself! Thx for sharing! Henry

Hi @Uhor! I love this piece! It gives an antique feeling but the language is modern, just like Vaughn Williams's approach. I like in 2:21 you reach that calm and really sacred passage (the chant?). The violin melody in 2:39 is really touching. Normally I would feel bored by the brass passage but the one in 3:54 doesn't bore me at all, because there is real solemnity here. What I think of is maybe you can add an organ here till the end as well. I enjoy the ending too. No one is "too old" for our forum! As long as we keep learning and progressing no one is old. This forum is for anyone who is willing to mutually communicate on each other's music. Only those who stop learning and consider themselves the best are old. You can continuously submit pieces to our forum! Thx for sharing! Henry
