I’ve been experiementing with AI-generated music, and the results have been pretty cool for what it is. The level of quality you can get from AI-powered music tools is mind-blowing. Lately, I’ve been playing with Suno and Riffusion, two platforms that make the process incredibly easy.

Suno operates on a credit-based system, offering a free tier to get started, while Riffusion is currently in beta and completely free to use. Both tools are remarkably simple—just tell the AI your preferred music style and theme, and it will generate a fully realized song, complete with lyrics and instrumentation. If you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can write your own lyrics and let the AI compose the music around them. Or, if you’re in the mood for something instrumental, you can create anything from jazz and classical pieces to ambient lofi beats.

For content creators, this is potentially a total game-changer. Whether you need background music for videos, podcasts, or creative projects, these AI tools eliminate the barriers to producing high-quality soundtracks with minimal effort.

For the Soulcruzer theme song, I created the lyrics and let the AI handle the composition. The result? A track that feels uniquely mine, yet brought to life by AI’s creative potential.

Here was the prompt I used:

a fusion of bluesy, psychedelic rock and trip-hop, with elements of post-rock and cyberpunk ambience.

Here are the results from Riffusion:

Version 1:

For version 2 I used the prompt:

trip-hop, with elements of mystical ambience.

Here are the results from Suno:

Version 3

Version 4

a fusion of bluesy, psychedelic rock and trip-hop, with elements of post-rock and cyberpunk ambience.

So which version do you like best? Let me know in the comments.
