I write in a number of genres, and most often with musical collaborators. These song are on my artist page 'Donna Devine'. This page, however, is specifically for my AI-assisted songs: namely, songs for which I either wrote the lyrics AND the melody or just the lyrics.
The Edge of the World (AI-assisted)
Hiraeth (AI-assisted) I've always loved the Welsh word ‘Hiraeth’, which has no direct one-word English translation. Perceived to mean an intense form of longing or nostalgia for a place or person long gone, or even an unaccountable yearning for someone you have never known or a place you have never visited. The Welsh refer to the feeling of hiraeth as ‘falling upon them’. I can relate to that feeling, as I'm sure many others do. Maybe the genre is 'Celtic New Age'.
Oasis (AI-Assisted) The original lyric is from ca. 2020 (or even earlier). I revised and restructured it a couple of years ago, and hoped - in vain - one day to find a musical collaborator. Then along came AI. Et voila! It took multiple attempts to achieve what sounded almost like what I had in mind. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage the signature middle eastern vocal flourishes and intensity in my vocal melody template, but at least the traditional instruments (oud, lute, flute, darbukka) seemed to work. Hope you
Oasis (version 2) (AI-assisted) FOR COMPARISON. The previous version of OASIS uses the vocal melody I provided. However, owing to my limited vocal range, I wasn't able to get the types of flourishes/embellishments that are typical for middle eastern vocals. In this version, I simply uploaded the lyric along with various prompts re instruments, tempo, key, mood, etc. - and let Suno go to town on it. (-:
Masterpiece (AI-assisted) I wrote the original lyric in late 2024. At the time, I was in the midst of an intense three-month course in abstract art, so my thoughts were awash with colours and all manner of imagery. It was exhilerating, and the text was almost stream-of-consciousness. Not even sure what I was writing about. ;) I later shortened the piece by about half. During this time, I’d been listening to the symphonic metal band ‘Nightwish’ and the amazing Dutch singer Floor Jansen. I knew the music I wanted for
Last Neanderthal (AI-assisted) Reflective. A little melancholy.
Look, My Lady (AI-assisted) A mediaeval troubadour sings to his lady love at the time of parting.
