#riffusion

Honestly #riffusion is making me wish I was actually musical, and knew how to work with stems and remix things. All the examples I've posted here are just silly fun, but unlike with Suno or Udio, I can regularly describe things to Riffusion in ways that get it to generate music that I actually enjoy. If I could, like, trim the start and end, and remove part of one chorus, and move the verses around a bit, some of these would be perfect. It somehow feels worse to get a song that's almost exactly what you imagined it would be, but just not quite, than to think of a fun idea for a song, but know you can't play or sing or edit, so it's just never going to happen anyway. And 37 is way too late to learn the keyboard or reaper or something from scratch. So I just have to live with this unsatisfaction.

Now that we have three different #AI Music generators, I wanted to give them a tricky test and compare the results. I'm totally not musical, so hopefully one of my followers will chime in to this thread with some musical theory criticism.

The prompt we'll be using today: "A comic operetta in the style of Victorian satirical comic operettas making fun of President Donald J Trump." We'll be leaving all other settings as default.

The things I'm looking for:
1. Does the song refer to recent events?
2. Can it follow my strong style instructions? I'm wanting something in the style of gilbert and Sullivan. But if I mention them directly, the AI's either refuse on copyright grounds, or generate endless bad versions of A Model of A Modern Major General.

Let's start with riffusion.com. It gave me a song called "Why won't they let me edit?" It's apparently about how Donald Trump wants to edit his wikipedia page. I'm not aware of this being a thing that happened, but it's possible I missed that? It starts off enough like an opera for my taste, but it quickly devolves into a kind of 2000's pop musical style. I give it 8/10 for topicality, and 5/10 for style. Link:
