FAQs

What is documentary music?

Documentary music is the instrumental scoring that underpins a factual film or series. It is usually restrained and emotionally guided, built from piano, strings and soft percussion so it supports narration and footage rather than competing with them. On this page every track is an original instrumental generated for that purpose, not a copy of any specific score.

How do I make documentary music with AI?

Describe the mood, tempo and lead instrument you want, then generate. A prompt like "reflective piano and strings, sparse, 84 BPM, under narration, instrumental" gives Morphic enough to build a full track, and you can adjust the wording until it fits your cut.

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.

How do I keep the music from fighting the voiceover?

Ask for a sparse, mid-register arrangement and avoid busy lead melodies. A prompt like "reflective underscore, gentle piano motif, sustained pad, sparse so a voiceover can breathe" leaves the center of the mix open for speech.

Can I set the tempo and mood?

Yes. Name a BPM and a mood in the prompt and the generator targets it. "Thoughtful, sparse, 76 BPM" and "epic, majestic, 88 BPM" produce very different documentary cues.

What format can I download?

Generated tracks download as MP3 or WAV, ready to drop onto a timeline in any editor.
