Within the last year, AI has become a more tangible part of my everyday life. I use ChatGPT or Gemini to help me with captions for social media posts, to add emojis, for translations, to create song lyrics, and even for dinner recipes. I also utilize generative fills and AI-based picture creation, among other things. I could extend that list much further.
But today, a good friend of mine told me about udio, and I have to admit I am deeply impressed. I asked the AI to generate a song in German (my native language and a tough one) about the Libertarian Party (FDP) and how they obstruct the climate and mobility transition with their fairy tale arguments of avoiding debts and relying on the self-regulation of the market, in the style of a famous German punk rock band.
First, udio recognized the band and derived the genre mix from it: punk, rock, ska, alternative. Then it generated two ideas, each 30 seconds long. From here, you can go different ways: extend the song (add sections before, after, intro, or outro), remix it, or publish it. I chose to extend the version I liked more, and again two versions were generated. After some time of listening, comparing, rehearing, and generating, I had a solid 2:30 song, with lyrics that make perfect sense 99% of the time, and I’d even say 5% of it is really good.
Afterward, you can decide to publish, remix, extend, or download the song, and even generate a video.
AI has come a long way, and it’s changing the world rapidly. I’m really curious to see where this is going.
Here’s the song I created (as mentioned before, it’s in German).
