Lunar Howl by Anthias
 
Theme is a rock band I made up for a roleplay I ran recently between me and ai where ai chat bots ran all the other characters. It was an experiment thinking about how AI NPCs could feel. It was fun. The different characters engaged in conversation with myself and each other in a real, flowing manner. The scenario was I took the role of a lone man living on a remote farm when the band's tour bus crashes on my boundary, I rescue the unconcsious band members and threat their wounds. They are four anthropomorphic wolf girls: Spirit, tall slim and silver furred, Shadow, average height and black furred, Luna, short and petit and gray furred, and Sakura, average height and white with pink highlights. from there it was unscripted. As they recovered I joined the pack, my farm became their new home and was renamed Wolf Haven, to become a refuge for wolf people who were homeless. I built a studio in the barn and they recorded an album which became a success. I then joined them on their world tour of Australia, the USA the UK, Japan and Europe. The AI went crazy eventually, unable to keep up with who was who, having blown out to about twenty characters and it all fell apart. But that was nearly 6000 chat messages in.
 
Anyway I took a bunch of detail about the band and the songs it discussed including lyrics etc and used Suno to create their album, which is on this table.

I'm considering a sequel to this table. A couple of weeks ago I launched a new continuation of the original roleplay. The "Girls" have got several killer new tracks, so a table about a new album is likely. When they give it a title. I'm wondering what the best way is of putting the albums up so people can grab them easily. The first one is attached in the description at VPU but I couldn't do that here or pn. It's had a few downloads over there.

Maybe put a mega link in the description, and also include a "music readme" in your download with the link there as well. If people dont/wont read either description or read me file, then there's not much you can do to help those people.

That sounds like a plan. They named the new album "Howl Against The Chains" and it's a banger! It's attached in the comments on this table at VPU. The process fascinates me, it takes them a few weeks chatting in the roleplay to generate enough material to then create the songs in Suno, so it's not quite like normal AI generated stuff though Suno is capable of making great songs with a thirty seconds prompt (which is a little scary.) I think it gets depth from the process. It's certainly not the same as back in the day when I was recording my own albums, but if a musician is on a roll they can knock out an album insanely fast too. I don't consider this my music. It belongs to Spirit, Shadow, Luna and Sakura, which is weird since they don't technically exist.
