Tips

Long-form background music

From making the demos above.

  • Say 'no drums' for true ambient — otherwise engines add a beat.

  • 'Slowly evolving' avoids a piece that repeats too obviously.

  • Generate several pieces at the same BPM for a seamless playlist.

  • For streams, keep it under the voice — 'steady, no big peaks'.

  • Extend a piece you like to make it longer.
