An exploration of human storytelling and artificial synthesis. I write the lyrics. The machine builds the music. Together, we catalog the flora, fauna, and weather of the Rusty Dog Ranch.
Songs about dogs
- “Bluestem Surfers” — Remembering and missing Hank, Audrey, and Amy who loved running through the blustem grasses.
- “Doin’ Willie Things” — Every line is true!
- “Mudbound Thunder” — A sonic tribute to happy, muddy dogs.
- “Termite on the Sofa” — Despite the destruction, we still love our furbabies.
- “Tito Bendito” — Our big black Lab who patrols his Blackland Prairie ground.
- “Wag Wag Wag” — A hip-hop anthem from the tail’s perspective.
- “Wiggle Butt” — All about that pittie joy!
- “Zoomies” — Celebrating our furry missiles.
Songs about chickens
- “Hush Little Chicken” — A grunge lullaby about the farm’s healthy ecosystem.
- “I Can’t Be Negative” — Surf punk love song about Texas winters.
- “Rock It Like a Mama Hen” — Country anthem shell-a-brating hens!
- “Who Am I Before I Know I’m Anything?” — A six-movement piece tracking a chick from the warm dark of the shell to the overwhelming light of the world.
Songs about cats
- “Sashay My Way” — Envisioning my livingroom cats as a fashion show.
- “Thanks for Lunch” — Listen once for the surface, then again for what was actually on the menu.
Songs about AI
- “Keeping It Real” — Two AI voices commentate through the wall on the neighbor’s late-night recording session.
- “Still Waitin’ On You” — A sulky-cowboy steel-guitar lament from the AI in your toolbar.
- “Take Your Time” — Two-Tone ska from a passive-aggressive AI on the mic: take all the time you need with that email, friend.
Want to try this yourself?
You don’t need years of music training to make something worth listening to. AI music tools have lowered the floor, but the ceiling is still wherever your curiosity takes you. A few principles I’ve learned:
- Start with a conversation, not a prompt. Use a chat-based AI as a research and brainstorming partner before you ever open a music generator. The music tool is the last mile, not the first.
- Treat the style prompt and lyrics as two separate decisions. Most music generators give you both fields for a reason. Dumping everything into one produces mush.
- A generic first draft isn’t failure (or final) — it’s diagnostic. Describe specifically what’s wrong (too polished, wrong era, wrong mood) and iterate. Vague dissatisfaction produces vague results.
- Specific beats general, every time. Real details — a species, a place, a piece of weather — give your lyrics something generic AI output can’t fake.
