This is an example. Describe your own above and it comes like this too: solo a part, redo one, download them, or edit it in Studio.

Songs made here

Made from these words on this page, each with its stems. Move a level, or press M or S, to hear a part on its own.

How it works

  1. Start from the words in the box. "a cosy Christmas background loop with sleigh bells, warm piano, soft strings and a gentle swing". Change any of them, or pick an idea under the box.
  2. Pick the shape. Seamless loop is on, for music that repeats without a click. Pick a tempo, a key and a length, or leave them on Auto.
  3. Get your track with its stems. Play it, download the mix or the stems, or open it in Studio to change the parts.

The sounds of Christmas, new

Most holiday videos reach for the same few carols. Describe the sound instead and get music that feels like December without being a song everyone has heard a hundred times.

  • Sleigh bells and celesta for sparkle.
  • Warm piano and soft strings for a cosy, fireplace mood.
  • Brushed drums and a walking bass for Christmas jazz.
  • Glockenspiel, ukulele and claps for a kids' Christmas.

Turn on Seamless loop for a gift guide, a vlog or a long live stream, so the music runs as long as the video.

For every December video

A gift guide wants something light and bouncy under the voice. A Christmas reel wants a bright, festive hook in the first second. A family slideshow wants slow piano that lets the photos breathe. An advent calendar series can keep one loop and change only the instruments day by day, so the series sounds like one thing.

Every track comes as five stems (drums, bass, guitar, keys and other), so you can keep the bells and piano under talking and bring the full arrangement back for the end.

Make it early

Questions

Can I use it in a Christmas ad or a store video?

Every track is royalty-free for commercial use, so it can go in ads and videos you publish. For music played aloud in a shop or at an event, read daydream.live/terms first.

How do I make it sound less like a cartoon?

Leave out the bells and the glockenspiel and ask for warm piano, soft strings and a slow tempo. A hint of celesta is enough to say Christmas.

Can it play a carol like Jingle Bells?

It makes new music rather than covers, so describe the sound you want instead: sleigh bells, celesta, warm piano, a swing feel. You get something that sounds like Christmas without being a song someone else owns.

Can I use the music in a commercial game or video?

Yes. Every song is royalty-free on every plan, Free included: use it in commercial games, videos, streams, podcasts and apps.

Can I use it in Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Add https://gen.daydream.live/mcp as a custom connector in Claude, or as a custom MCP server in ChatGPT, or add the Daydream app from ChatGPT's directory, and sign in with your Daydream account. Then describe a song in the chat: it plays there with its stems in their own lanes, and if you ask for new drums it makes that part again with the other four as they are. It spends the same credits as this page, 5 a song. How to add it.
