Just made a cinematic lyric video for "Winter Song" by Aireline in minutes — built in Pulse Studio. openplaypulse.com/try/job/d5…

The part @suno and the others can't match: every dollar from AI distributions flows to the @onceforcreators Artist Compensation Fund. Real artists whose work trained these models get paid when the models earn.

AIMD is a better experience than @suno . The tracks may actually sound better too. It's built for AI music distribution first, and entirely on the @onceforcreators MCP. Generation, registration, and distribution running through one connected pipeline. app.aimusicdistro.com

It’s a different posture. There is a genuine child-like wonder and excitement around music creation from these AI musicians that has been missing from the music industry at large, for-the most part, for quite a while.

And I think he's right. The “non-musicians” I’ve observed absolutely LOVE making music! And even more so they enjoy listening to it after they create it and are ecstatic to share it with others.

In observing the reactions of the past few months I’ve come to the conclusion that the CEO of Suno was pretty much right when he said musicians “don't enjoy making music”. What he meant though was “watch, all of these non-musicians will enjoy making music more than you do

For those of you using AI tools to make music, where does that fit in your workflow? Do you release it, sit on it, do something else with it?

@onceforcreators built music gen into distribution and 100% of that goes to Artists

I think that is what is truly the most exciting thing about 2026-2030. AI will amplify this sameness to the point that we can no longer stand it, resulting in a sea change of originality.

We as a general society have been complicit in the condoning and encouraging of musical and artistic homogeneity for so long that we don’t even realize it.

Thank you ⁦@youtubemusic⁩ for recommending Apparat 🙏 This is everything that I love in organized sound and silence 🤘 music.apple.com/us/album/a-h…

Do Not Disturb is such a simple and yet powerful tool. Everyone and everything can wait 🎹🎛️🎚️

My days are always better when I am disciplined enough to protect my morning composition time

The music industry isn’t broken because streaming pays too little. It’s broken because the systems that track ownership don’t talk to each other.

Found it!
