Field notes

Suno reads dark ambient through texture, not melody. It responds to drone, cavernous reverb, tape hiss, field recording, sub bass. Leave the tempo out — name a number and the model treats it as permission to add a beat. The line between this and doom is instrumentation, so say no drums, no guitar or it drifts. Physical-space words carry it — crypt, cavern, cathedral.
