I asked for mathcore. But it only seems to make it for ~5 seconds, then devolves into saxophone jazz, sometimes all the way to J-Pop. This process repeats roughly every 2 minutes, when it randomly re-initializes back to a few sweet seconds of chaotic mathcore. I find it really interesting hearing this repeated "flash fry and gradual cooldown" of the music over and over. Each a new hot bowl of phở reaching room temperature. What will it cool into next? Each track is dropped in the pan at the phase transitions between states of matter, then crystalizes into something different. It tries to surf the edge of chaos as long as it can before it falls into a state of order (normalcy, pop, smooth jazz, riff repetition). My mind gets lured into the trance, waiting in queue for the next bowl, anticipating the surprise of the next track's intro, savoring its few seconds of interestingness. Then as it cools, I appreciate the transitions. They are surprisingly smooth and unjuxtaposed as the model autoregressively follows the possible branches the music can go. Sometimes it heats back up into chaos before the end and those moments are rare if you catch one.

This was made with suno v3. I appreciate how good it is at transitioning between genres. I reverse-engineered their API to do automated generation of 1000+ tracks. Because suno censors swear words, you need to phonetically come up with other ways to sound things out. Sometimes the lead singer and sax is mixed too loudly, so I tried deleting the tracks that were obnoxious. Because suno is proprietary, the settings are frozen, I can't increase the temperature of the model to stop it from cooling down, but all of these constraints led to a cool listening experience which I warmed up to. Anyway, enjoy. I might sample the most chaotic parts from this and conjoin them together cuz I wanna know what it's like to taste it spicy hot
