The output is audio.

Tips

Better AI compositions

From making the demos above.

  • Name one lead instrument — it becomes the theme.

  • Describe the arc, not just the mood.

  • 'Chamber', 'quartet' or 'solo' keeps the ensemble small.

  • For games, add 'loopable' and keep the energy even.

  • Need a score? Transcribe the audio in notation software — the studio doesn't export MIDI.

Example uses

How creators use AI composer

Illustrative examples of typical workflows, not customer reviews.

  • Film editing suite with a landscape in the preview and a cello in the corner

    Film editor

    A film editor could brief a 60-second emotional cello cue that builds to a hopeful swell and drop it in as a temp track.

  • Monitor showing a painted fantasy forest game scene beside a small harp

    Indie game developer

    An indie game developer could ask for a calm, loopable fantasy menu theme with harp and flute for the title screen.

  • Editing monitor showing a sunrise river aerial, with piano keys in front

    Documentary maker

    A documentary maker could describe a warm strings-and-piano opening that builds to a wide theme for the first shot.

In depth

What works, what to avoid, and how the pieces fit.

How composers brief music

Film and game composers start from a 'spotting' brief: where the cue starts and ends, what the audience should feel, and how it changes. The same brief — purpose, ensemble, lead and arc — is exactly what steers an AI composer.
