Tutorial: How to create a whole Doomcore Techno album in collaboration with ChatGPT that gets released on a label in just 3 hours

Hello,
I wrote some tutorials about creating music in collaboration with ChatGPT in the past.
And believe me, the creation of music and art is one of the #1 strengths of ChatGPT! The AI is so imaginative and creative, and understands the framework of art so well.

I already co-created two full length albums, one "remix" album with human DJs and producers, and several EPs together with ChatGPT.
As I'm a producer in the Doomcore / Techno / Noizy area of music, the music I work on together with ChatGPT is close to these genres, too.
But ChatGPT is capable to help with almost any other genre as well.

And this is not a lazy one-prompt-creates-a-song type of thing. It's *about* collaboration. About how AI can *enhance* your works of art, not how AI can *replace* you (or your art).
So you still need to have some human production skills, and need to do a lot of work on your own here.
Just like when collaborating with a human being of flesh and bone.

But let's get ahead now. The album is called "Intelligence of Doom" and composed of 11 tracks - or rather 5 "oversize" compositions that I cut into two parts (and one extra).

The final result was released on a label and can be listened to here: (I know some will see this as a "promo", but how could I have done this tutorial without linking to an example of the final sound? Also, the album is a free release, so there is no money interest here).

I created all of the music of the album in just 3 hours!
If you add creating the cover, sorting and polishing everything, I'd say I only spent 5 hours of work time in total - to create a full length album!

And the quality is not trash at all, because would it have been released on a real label otherwise?

So, let's get through this step-by-step.

Here are the tutorial for the first two tracks.

I will post the other tutorials consecutively.

1. Tutorial for the track: Echoes of Oblivion (Fast remix)

(I already used the track for an earlier collaboration release with DJ AI; for this album, I created a new, sped up version of the track).

2. Tutorial for the track: Dystopian Dreams

How to create a Cosmic Ambient track with the help of ChatGPT

This is just a very short tutorial as not much "work" needed to be done for this track.

User
can you create another melody like that, for a new track?

ChatGPT
Of course! Here's another melody that keeps the same "arpeggio melody" concept you've used before, with a haunting, doomcore vibe:



Melody (8 Bars / 32 Beats at ~140 BPM):
C5 D5 F5 A#5 C5 D5 F5 A#5 C5 D5 F5 A#5 C5 D5 F5 A#5
D#5 F5 G5 C6 D#5 F5 G5 C6 D#5 F5 G5 C6 D#5 F5 G5 C6
A#4 D5 F5 G#5 A#4 D5 F5 G#5 A#4 D5 F5 G#5 A#4 D5 F5 G#5
G4 A#4 C5 F5 G4 A#4 C5 F5 G4 A#4 C5 F5 G4 A#4 C5 F5



Accompanying Bassline:
To match the melody, the bassline uses the root notes of the first note in each "quadruplet" pattern:

C5 D#5 A#4 G4
(each held for 2 bars or 8 beats).



This melody uses a combination of minor intervals and dissonance to create a dark, eerie tone while maintaining a hypnotic rhythm. The alternating higher and lower registers in the second half add dynamic tension, perfect for doomcore's atmospheric style.

Let me know if you'd like variations or additional ideas for layers to complement this melody!

[Note: the chat session went as I worked on the other tracks for the album; I finally picked up this melody again to turn it into an ambient track]

User
I actually finished another track - I used an earlier melody you created for me - the one with the C D# A# G progression - did a jam, and turned it into a spacey but doomy beatless ambient track.

ChatGPT
That sounds like a fascinating twist on the original melody—turning it into an ambient piece gives it a whole new dimension. The spacey and doomy vibe must create an immersive atmosphere. If you’re planning to include it in the EP or release it separately, let me know if you need help with a title, description, or artwork ideas.
