Prompt excerpt

Set my mother's handwritten sentence to music. Chamber R&B. One voice, no vibrato, strings that never swell too far.

The story

Delphine wrote all three verses and hummed the melody into her phone before she opened an AI tool at all.

AI auditioned orchestration options. She rejected most of them, kept a string voicing, recorded her own vocal, and arranged the ending by hand.

Lyric excerpt

You said keep the receipts and the hymnals. I kept the hymnals.
