How My Nova Books Is Elevating Audiobooks with Procedurally Generated Intro and Outro Music

At My Nova Books, we believe that audiobooks should be more than just narrations — they should be complete productions that captivate and transport listeners. That's why we're thrilled to announce a new feature rolling out across our catalog: intro and outro music, custom-built through procedural generation technology.

We sat down with our tech department to find out more about how this innovation is reshaping the way listeners experience our stories.

Q: What inspired the decision to add intro and outro music to My Nova Books' audiobooks?

Tech Department: We want each audiobook to feel like a full production, not just a simple telling of a story. Adding intro and outro music is the next step toward crafting a more immersive experience for our listeners. It's about setting the stage — and creating a feeling — right from the very first note.

Q: Why did you choose procedurally generated music instead of traditional compositions?

Tech Department: We're aiming to streamline the process of acquiring music that fits each book perfectly. Procedural generation allows us to custom-tailor music that accounts for all the unique facets of a story — its tone, its world, and its emotional arc — without the long delays or high costs associated with traditional commissioning.

This approach empowers us to create a more personalized and dynamic musical experience for every single audiobook.

Q: Can you share an example of a particularly memorable intro or outro that's been created so far?

Tech Department: Absolutely! One standout is from our audiobook of Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The intro music uses primal percussion instruments that beautifully echo the story’s core themes of man and nature. The driving beat of the drums immediately primes the listener for an epic adventure, capturing Tarzan's raw connection to the wild right from the very beginning.

Q: How do you ensure that the procedurally generated music is high-quality and emotionally appropriate?

Tech Department: Great question! We carefully analyze each track to make sure it reflects the book’s emotional profile and personality. We don't settle for "good enough" — we iterate and refine the music until it truly captures the essence of the story. Every track is reviewed to ensure it elevates the listener's experience and matches the spirit of the book.

Final Thoughts: Setting a New Standard for Audiobooks

By combining cutting-edge procedural generation with a deep respect for storytelling, My Nova Books is redefining what an audiobook can be. Our goal is simple: to make every book feel like a personal, immersive journey — one that's enhanced by music as distinctive and vibrant as the stories themselves.
