How to use these prompts

Use [Build]/[Climax] tags for trailers. Name brass, choir, taiko, or drones. Keep vocal cues off unless you want a choir.

  1. Copy a style prompt into your AI music tool’s style / description field.
  2. Paste the structure tags into the lyrics field (or adapt them).
  3. Generate, then tweak one variable (BPM, vocal type, or one instrument) per iteration.
