Audio-Novel Soundtrack Generator

This project creates dynamic, mood-based soundtracks for audiobook chapters, inspired by the atmospheric scoring of 'Star Wars' and the narrative depth of 'Nightfall'.

Drawing inspiration from the immersive sound design of 'Star Wars: A New Hope' and the richly imagined worlds of 'Nightfall', this project aims to develop an AI that generates ambient, mood-appropriate soundtracks for audiobooks. The 'E-Commerce Pricing' scraper concept influences the idea of analyzing textual data to inform pricing, which here translates to analyzing audiobook chapter text for sentiment, pacing, and thematic elements. The system will process the text of an audiobook chapter, identify keywords, emotional tones (e.g., suspenseful, romantic, action-packed), and narrative shifts. Based on this analysis, it will then dynamically select and blend pre-recorded audio samples (e.g., atmospheric sounds, instrumental loops, subtle musical motifs) to create a unique, non-intrusive soundtrack that enhances the listener's experience. This can be implemented with relatively low cost by utilizing readily available open-source audio libraries and basic natural language processing (NLP) techniques. The niche appeal lies in offering a premium experience for independent authors and small publishing houses who can't afford custom scoring, with high earning potential through a subscription service or per-chapter generation fees for authors looking to add an extra layer of polish to their audiobooks.
