Waltz of Wires

In the previous post I mentioned vocal hallucinations. Out of the four most prominent audio tracks generation services, Suno and Producer.ai (a.k.a. Riffusion) are the best playgrounds to test the vocal hallucination in vivo.

Assuming you can try that in Suno, here’s the definition of a track I have under a name “Waltz of Wires” in my collection. That was the first definition that was capable of producing huge amount of “rich vocal hallucinations” (meaning, very quality tracks sung in “unknown language”).

So, here is definition.

Style of Music:

Minimal techno meets circus waltz, with pulsing beats, eerie calliope, and vocal glitches, female ghost vocals, vocal hallucinations.

Lyrics:

[genre: minimal-techno, circus-waltz]
[style: mechanical, eerie, playful]
[mood: surreal, hypnotic, uneasy]
[tempo: steady 4/4 with waltz overlay]
[instruments: drum machine, synth bass, calliope organ, tuba]
[compression: light]
[vocals: mechanical, glitched, fragmented, female ghost vocals, vocal hallucinations]
[length: 210]
[intro: Clock-like percussion under warped calliope organ chords.]
[structure: intro, theme A, bridge, theme B, outro]
[theme A: Pulsing synth bass with sparse drum machine, overlayed with a playful organ waltz.]
[rhythm: 4/4 pulse clashing with 3/4 organ swing]
[sfx: distant fairground crowd, murmured announcements]
[bridge: Percussion strips away; organ bends into atonal drones, with vocal glitches.]
[effects: granular synthesis, reversed whispers]
[theme B: The techno beat returns, now robotic, while the waltz organ spirals into madness.]
[sfx: distorted laughter, vocal stutters]
[outro: A final organ flourish cuts into silence, with mechanical vocal echoes.]
[fade: abrupt cut, tape reel spin-down]
[end]

Use models v3.5 or v4.0. After you make a vocal hallucination, or just a nicely sounding track, make a persona out of it and continue generating with the same track definition.

In my case, the above approach allows generating tracks where 85-90% of the output will be vocal hallucinations.

The above stops working in v4.5 and higher, but don’t worry: there are other templates (definitions) begetting vocal hallucinations in modern Suno models with high probability.

The next obvious question is “why could one need vocal hallucinations at all?”

I will begin offering good answers for that in my next post. Also, I would like to remind that I keep most useful information on generating tracks in Suno/Producer.ai in this repository.
