Appendix C — Example Prompts

Suno model: v5.5

These were the prompts I used to build the first lexicon and descriptor library. I have kept them complete because the relationship between fields matters more than any one phrase. They are examples of how I structured an idea, not recipes guaranteed to reproduce the same result.

The wording is retained while spacing and field labels are normalised for readability. In each prompt, several fields point towards the same musical behaviour instead of acting as isolated requests.

The fifth source prompt belongs to Pressure. I keep it with the breakdown because the two source generations and Mashup explain why the final language is there.

Contents

1. Liquid Drum and Bass × Chiptune
2. Psychedelic Drum and Bass × Slushwave
3. J-Core contrast arc
4. Liquid Drum and Bass baseline

1. Liquid Drum and Bass × Chiptune

I gave the Liquid Drum and Bass rhythm and bass responsibility for the scaffold. Chip leads and arpeggios act as the Anchor, while spectral and harmonic language connects the two electronic palettes.

Genres | Liquid Drum and Bass | Chiptune

Identity | Cohesive Hybrid | Equal Influence

Bass | Rolling Reese | Deep Sub | Warm Harmonic Motion

Harmony | Harmonic Motion | Luminous Pads | Dreamlike Atmosphere

Melody | Square Wave Leads | Chip Arpeggios | Emotional Hooks

Textures | Spectral Morphing | Harmonic Bloom | Shimmering Harmonics | Evolving Timbres | Crystal Detail

Drums | Crisp Amen Variations | Ghost Notes | Tight Breakbeats

Vocals | Female Lead | Ethereal Delivery | Natural Phrasing

Priority | Cohesive Hybrid | Chip Timbres Throughout | Never Halftime

Motion | Continuous Evolution | Microvariation | Organic Transformation

Sound Design | Resynthesized Textures | Spectral Layers | Morphing Synths

Mood | Nostalgic Wonder | Euphoric | Dreamlike

What to notice:

• Chip Timbres Throughout protects the Chiptune identity across the arrangement.
• Never Halftime protects the Drum and Bass Kinetic Engine.
• Spectral and motion fields give both styles a shared language of transformation.

2. Psychedelic Drum and Bass × Slushwave

This prompt came together once I stopped asking both genres to shape the whole track. Drum and Bass supplies motion; Slushwave supplies haze, degradation and atmosphere.

It became the final cohesion prompt in Flowstate In Yellow.

Genres | Psychedelic Drum and Bass | Slushwave

Bass | Rolling Modulated Reese | Deep Sub | Psychedelic Motion

Harmony | Dreamlike Pads | Suspended Chords | Modal Colour

Rhythm | Rolling Psychedelic Breaks | Continuous Forward Motion

Textures | Tape Flutter | Granular Bloom | Dream Haze

Drums | Rolling Amen Variations | Ghost Notes | Crisp Breaks

Vocals | Female Lead | Ethereal Delivery | Natural Phrasing

Priority | Hypnotic Groove | Dreamlike Atmosphere | Never Halftime

Motion | Constant Evolution | Fluid Motion

Mood | Hypnotic Wonder

Structure | Continuous Flow | Reflective Outro

Influence | Modern Psychedelic Drum and Bass | Slushwave

What to notice:

• Dream Haze and Crisp Breaks pull in different directions, but they are assigned to different layers.
• Priority protects both the hypnotic atmosphere and full-time motion.
• The structure avoids hard stylistic blocks by asking for continuous flow.

3. J-Core contrast arc

This one is built around contrast. Several fields describe the same movement from digital instability in the verse to clean, euphoric release in the chorus.

Genres | J-Core

Tempo | 185 BPM

Intro | Digital Boot | Corrupted Signal

Rhythm | Unstable Breakcore Patterns | Sudden Syncopation

Harmony | Bright Euphoric Chords | Emotional Resolution

Synth | Hyper Saw Stack | FM Leads | Chiptune Layers

Bass | FM Growl | Fast Reese | Punchy Sub

FX | Digital Glitches | Buffer Stutters | Data Corruption | Reverse Impacts

Vocals | Female Lead | Robotic Verse Processing | Powerful Clean Chorus

Dynamics | Chaotic Verses | Massive Chorus Release

Priority | Contrast

Motion | Constant Escalation

Mix | Ultra Wide Chorus | Focused Verse

Mood | Digital Instability to Euphoria

Structure | Corrupted Verse | Anthemic Chorus | Final Climax

What to notice:

• Vocals, Dynamics, Mix, Mood and Structure all reinforce the same sectional arc.
• Contrast is the governing Priority rather than a specific timbre.
• Density works here because the fields agree about the direction of travel.

4. Liquid Drum and Bass baseline

I use this focused prompt as a baseline beside the more complex fusions. It separates bass movement, drum behaviour, development and emotional direction without adding another genre.

Genres | Liquid Drum and Bass

Tempo | 174 BPM

Intro | Atmospheric | Liquid Flow

Bass | Bouncing Warm Reese | FM Growl | Sub Bass

Melody | Rhodes Stabs | Call and Response

Harmony | Cinematic Synth | Suspended Chords

Rhythm | Rolling Liquid Breaks | Full-Time Drum and Bass

Textures | Vinyl Dust | Evolving Pads | Granular Wash

Drums | Rolling Amen Variations | Ghost Notes | Tight Breaks

Vocals | Female Lead | Relaxed Vocal Delivery | Natural Phrasing

FX | Reverse Swells | Tape Stops | Filter Throws

Dynamics | Long Crescendos | Sudden Silence

Priority | Driving Two-Step | Continuous Forward Motion | Never Halftime

Motion | Constant Evolution

Mix | Wide Stereo | Controlled Sidechain | Warm Saturation

Mood | Motion through Hope

Structure | Constant Flow | Double Drop | Reflective Outro

Influence | 00's Liquid | Modern Liquid

What to notice:

• The three Bass descriptors separate bounce, aggression and sub foundation.
• Rhythm, Drums and Priority share responsibility for uninterrupted full-time motion.
• Dynamics and FX articulate transitions without replacing the Kinetic Engine.

Using these prompts

When I reuse these prompts, I do not begin by copying the longest one. I begin with the responsibility I need:

1. Choose the Anchor.
2. Choose the Kinetic Engine.
3. Add a Bridge if the styles need one.
4. Promote only the non-negotiable behaviours to Priority.
5. Add finish and structure after the musical identity is clear.

Then I listen. The next useful descriptor should answer something I heard, not merely make the prompt look more complete.
