I'm creating songs in old languages on Suno
Hi everyone,
I'm a hobby linguist with a special interest in old germanic languages. I use Suno not only for creating regular songs, but also for those in Old English, Middle English, Old High German and Middle High German and I'm also writing audio dramas.
Suno gives us the possibility to resurrect old languages. I try to simulate authentic pronunciation as good as possible by writing my lyrics phonetically.
Some examples:
Middle High German: "So die Bluomen" https://suno.com/s/ykyVgcoRDrjDg3gD
Old English: "Westron Winde" https://suno.com/song/83a8f0ed-1b96-4782-9e21-9cf1e06b3690
Gothic:

Middle English:

And my first audio drama in Middle High German: "Der arme Heinrich"
This audio play is a free interpretation of the original epos with voices in Latin, Occitan, Volgare. Episode 4 and 5 are in 3D audio (used Sparta and Ardour for this).

This is not AI slop - it took me more than half a year to create all five episodes. However, the quality is not as good as with real speakers.
If some of you guys did something similar or like to discuss about the topic of generating songs or audio plays in ancient languages, I would be very interested.
