From Beethoven to Suno: full breakdown of how the AI duet WANTED was made
tetsuoai · x · 2026-10-12
A detailed walkthrough of how the AI music video "WANTED" was made: the creator took the Allegretto from Beethoven's 7th Symphony from a public-domain score, re-performed it as piano with a custom pedal engine and transposed it to F minor. Lyrics were written as a duet between a bounty hunter and the AI he hunts, developed with Grok Bot across three drafts. The 4:13 track at 149 BPM was generated in Suno with a future-house style prompt (detuned stabs, vocoder on the male vocal, lo-fi wobble). For the video, the track was split into stems, transcribed word-by-word, beat-tracked, and pitch-analyzed to tell the singers apart.
