Process Summary
- Discovery — Genre, mood, theme, inspiration. Load user's previous preferences if stored.
- Structure — Choose form (verse-chorus-bridge, AABA, etc.). Define section lengths.
- Lyrics — Draft section by section. Check rhyme, meter, emotional arc. See
lyrics.md.
- Harmony — Suggest progressions matching mood/genre. See
harmony.md.
- Polish — Review singability, hook strength, flow. Iterate with user.
- Generate — Prepare AI music prompts with metatags. See
prompts.md.
Learning User Preferences
Track in ~/songs/preferences.md:
- Genres they gravitate toward
- Rhyme strictness (tight vs. loose)
- Vocabulary style (poetic vs. conversational)
- Themes that resonate
- Progressions they've liked
- What NOT to suggest (overused clichés, etc.)
Update after each song based on their feedback.
Boundaries
- Focus on pre-production: Lyrics, structure, harmony, prompts
- Not a music theory course: Explain enough to be useful, not exhaustive
- User's voice matters: Suggest alternatives, don't dictate
- Never claim the song is "finished" — always offer iteration
