I Made My First Music with AI—and Found More Than a Soundtrack
How a weekend website project became a personal experiment with Suno, Tunee, and ChatGPT.

This weekend, while working on the Rose Valley Ranch website , I wanted to create something people could simply enjoy: beautiful views, nature, and music that belonged with them.
I’m a computer engineer who has been managing things for as long as I can remember. I’m not a professional musician. But for the first time in my life, I created an instrumental piece with AI by describing a feeling, giving it words, and making sounds to explain what I wanted.
And then I heard something that sounded like the idea in my head.
That feeling deserves its own article.
Two platforms, two different experiences
I started with Suno. I created a piece I felt surprisingly attached to. But when I wanted to download it, I couldn’t find a free download option or a small introductory credit that would let me complete that step.
At that moment, I wasn’t ready to spend $10 on a music platform. I was still exploring whether this was something I could do.
So I looked elsewhere and found Tunee AI.
The experience was exciting. Even its YouTube video, featuring AI characters, caught my attention. Then I tried creating music and found I could explain what I wanted and get remarkably close to it.
Tunee helped me keep going and create music for the project.
The piece I couldn’t download stayed with me
Here’s the part I find interesting: emotionally, I still felt more attached to the piece I created on Suno.
Maybe it captured my feeling more closely. Maybe being unable to download it made me want it more. Maybe it was simply the first time I had heard my own musical idea come back to me.
I don’t know. But that attachment was real.
A smoother experience on another platform didn’t erase it.
Give newcomers a chance to finish something
I understand that these platforms cost money to run. I’m not asking for unlimited free access.
But a small trial allowance—or enough introductory credit to create and download one piece—can make a meaningful difference to someone trying this for the first time.
For me, the download barrier meant I immediately tried another platform. That was a missed opportunity to build a relationship with a new user.
Before I could decide whether to become a paying customer, I wanted to finish one small creative experience.
ChatGPT helped bring the video together, too
What amazed me was that the music was only part of the experience. ChatGPT also helped me edit the videos for the ranch website.
I could explain the feeling I wanted, discuss what needed changing, and work through the edits. Between the landscape footage, the music, and those conversations, I was bringing together something I could share with other people.
For my first experience creating instrumental music with AI, seeing it alongside the video made it feel even more personal.
My first instrumental music
I’m sharing both versions because both belong to this story.
I shaped the direction through words, sounds, and repeated attempts; the AI generated the music. For someone without professional music training, hearing that process turn into an instrumental piece was extraordinary.
Visit the ranch website, enjoy the views, and listen. This is my first experience making music with AI, and I wanted to share that little moment of discovery with you.
These are my personal experiences with the platforms while making this project.
