Nermins Songs – Part 2: Braille’s Legacy

Today, as promised, we continue with Nermin’s second song

Nermin Hasic

As I wrote yesterday, I had only been using Soniva AI Musicmaker for a short time and my trial period was already coming to an end.
After a taster course in Braille, I thought about how best to honor Braille’s legacy with AI.
I prompted something along the lines of:

“Create a song about Louis Braille, giving a glimpse into his life from childhood to his death, taking into account his accident leading to Braille’s blindness, and how he set out to create the writing system that would become the world’s widely adopted writing system for the blind.”.

The prompt was perhaps a little simpler, but I later reworked and added to it.
The result was these two versions of the song:

Version 1
Version 2

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

In darkness born, a world unseen,
A child’s mind sharp, a spirit keen.
Louis Braille, a name so bright,
Igniting hope with guiding light.

[Chorus]

Two hundred years, a legacy’s call,
Braille’s touch empowers one and all.
From silent page to open door,
Knowledge flows forevermore.

[Verse 2]

At age so young, an accident’s blow,
Darkness descends, a world of woe.
But from despair, a vision takes flight,
A tactile code, a future bright.

[Chorus]

Two hundred years, a legacy’s call,
Braille’s touch empowers one and all.
From silent page to open door,
Knowledge flows forevermore.

[Bridge]

Through childhood struggles, hardship’s test,
His spirit soared, he gave his best.
A system born, so elegantly designed,
For blind minds to learn, to grow, to find.

[Chorus]

Two hundred years, a legacy’s call,
Braille’s touch empowers one and all.
From silent page to open door,
Knowledge flows forevermore.

[Verse 3]

From schoolhouse walls to university halls,
Braille’s code resounds, success enthralls.
On the job, in life’s embrace,
Blind individuals find their place.

[Outro]

A world transformed, a brighter day,
Thanks to Braille, we light the way.
His legacy lives on, a timeless art,
Empowering minds and touching hearts.

Wie gestern schon geschrieben, hatte ich den Soniva AI Musicmaker erst kurz im Einsatz und meine Testzeit ging auch schon dem Ende entgegen.
Nach einem Braille Schnupperkurs habe ich mir dann überlegt, wie man wohl mit einer KI Brailles Vermächtnis am besten würdigen könnte.
Ich promptete etwas in der Art:

“Create a song about Louis Braille, giving a glimpse into his life from childhood to his death, taking into account his accident leading to Braille’s blindness, and how he set out to create the writing system that would become the world’s widely adopted writing system for the blind.”.

Der Prompt war vielleicht etwas einfacher gestrickt, aber ich habe ihn später noch etwas umgebaut und ergänzt.
Herausgekommen sind dann diese beiden Versionen des Songs:
