Hum Tunes

I hum or whistle a melody into my phone, then direct it through Suno until it becomes a finished arrangement. Some start in my own head; others are themes I remembered and asked for in a completely different genre — a game battle theme rebuilt with sitar and taiko, say. The melodies and the direction are mine; the performance is AI-generated. Purely for fun.

All of it play, and none of it commercial. Tracks generated with Suno. The cover art is fake posters for films that don't exist — no studio, publisher or person shown had anything to do with any of it, and nothing here is official or endorsed.
