FAQs

What is dark music?
Dark music is a mood built on tension and dread: low drones, dissonant strings, heavy sub-bass and sparse, ominous percussion. It covers dark ambient, cinematic trailer tension, industrial and haunting piano. On this page every track is an original instrumental, not a copy of any specific song.
How do I make dark music with AI?
Describe the mood, tempo and textures you want, then generate. A prompt like "dark cinematic, low drone, dissonant strings, sub-bass hits, 70 BPM, instrumental" gives Morphic enough to build a full track, and you can adjust the wording until it fits your scene.
Can I use the music commercially?
Yes, music generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Because each track is generated for you, you also avoid it turning up in someone else’s video.
What is the difference between dark ambient and a dark trailer cue?
Dark ambient is beatless and atmospheric, a slow wash of drones and dissonance that builds unease. A dark trailer cue is rhythmic and dramatic, with pounding percussion and rising hits built for impact. Both live here as instrumentals, so you can pick the one that matches your edit.
Can I set the tempo and intensity?
Yes. Name a BPM and a mood in the prompt and the generator targets it. "Slow ominous drone, 60 BPM" and "menacing trailer build, 90 BPM" produce very different levels of tension and drive.
What format can I download?
Generated tracks download as MP3 or WAV, ready to drop onto a timeline in any editor.
