Below is a generic lit of tools
Of interest here is that I used a synth track I played as the audio to extract pitch and phoneme content, This generated some truly weird vocal artifacts, but also some intelligible, though bizarre, phrases. It also generated a lot of hyphens and repeated syllables such as “a” or “ey see”
I then extracted the “lyrics” and used Gemini to use the intelligible phrases as the basis for a Markov Chain generation to replace the exact count of hyphens and other repeated artifacts I didn’t like. I repeated this with different extraction patterns and used Choir 1, Natalie, and Etta to make 6 passes. Melodyne was used at the end to tune the voices to 17 notes per octave.
Example extraction except

My work changed it to

and in the end I created a story based on part of a later extract using Gemini to run it through a Markov Chain python script which it created. I resorted to this because it seems that the AI LLM got stuck in loops when trying do the Markov Chain on it’s own. Weird.
