Indie Instrumental
Instrumentals do the work vocals would get in the way of: sitting under narration, holding a scene, filling a stream. A Indie instrumental has to carry the genre on arrangement alone, with no voice to anchor it.
Indie album art is defined by its refusal to be defined - hand-drawn illustrations, collage art, candid photography, and intentionally off-beat compositions. The DIY ethos of indie music extends to its visuals: authentic, quirky, and personal.
What a Indie Instrumental Needs
Without vocals the arrangement holds attention by itself. Indie does that through hand-drawn illustrations, collage, candid photos, so the lead line, the movement and the dynamics matter more than they would under a topline.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make sure there are no vocals?
Ask for an instrumental in the prompt. The model leaves the vocal out and gives the arrangement more room.
Can I use a Indie instrumental in monetised video?
Music you generate is yours to use, so there is no third-party rights holder to claim it.
Can I get a longer version for streaming?
Yes, and the seamless loop tools can turn a section into something that repeats without an audible seam.
