FORMULATION No. 001 – THE SONG
A finished recording. About them. Because of you.
We write and produce an original song about your subject, in the genre of your choosing, from the reagents you provide. Not lyrics on a screen – a produced track that can play at the wedding, in the car, or exactly once at the right moment, and then whenever they need proof.
- Reagents required
- Their name. How you met – the real version, not the dinner-party version. One thing they'd be embarrassed you noticed. The genre. The bond – however it's shaped; we don't presume.
- Process
- You co-write the lyrics with the Lab in a short live session and approve every line before anything is produced. See the full procedure.
- Yield
- At least two takes of your finished song. You audition them privately and release the one that's true – it goes live on the compound's own page, with the lyrics typeset like a keepsake and a note from the Lab.
- Turnaround
- Within 48 hours of payment. Usually same-day. Shorter than it took you to admit any of this out loud.
- Price
- $39, once. Includes all takes, downloads for at least 12 months, and the reveal page.
- Rights
- Yours to play, share, and keep for personal use. Produced under a commercial license with AI music tools, supervised by a person. Full detail in the FAQ.
Sample compounds
INVENTED REAGENTS · RIGHTS-CLEAR · THE CLEAN ROOM, AUDIBLEThree demonstrations from invented subjects – note that the instrument brings the same seriousness to a best friend as to a spouse. Only the specifics change. Never the respect.
DEMO A – AN ANNIVERSARY
Sample pending – the Lab is recording demonstrations this week.
Folk-leaning, written from an invented couple's reagents: a diner, a dog, year nine.
DEMO B – A BEST FRIEND
Sample pending – the Lab is recording demonstrations this week.
Up-tempo, for a friendship with fourteen years of compound interest on one joke.
DEMO C – A QUIET BOND
Sample pending – the Lab is recording demonstrations this week.
Slow and plain, for a pair the standard model has no word for. We wrote one anyway.
Occasions the instrument is calibrated for
Anniversaries. Weddings – walking in, first dance, or the toast nobody will recover from. Proposals. Apologies that deserve better than a text. Birthdays. Graduations. A best friend's big move. "Just because," which our data suggests produces the strongest reactions of all, possibly because nobody sees it coming.
We make no promises about the reaction. We've simply observed, across a large sample, that people tend to cry. In a good way. As far as we can measure.
