HOUSE OF MIRRORS (VIDEO)

In the past year or so, like many creatives, I’ve become absolutely fascinated by Ai and what it can offer.

In the ever-evolving realm of music production, the advent of AI tools has been nothing short of revolutionary. Three standouts in recent times are Chat GPT, Midjourney and Runway, all offering an amazing set of generative tools for the professional and amateur creative alike.

Chat GPT, like a trusted collaborator, empowers music producers with its vast knowledge and creative potential. With its natural language capabilities, it can quickly provide insights into music theory, suggest lyrical themes, and even generate compositions to overcome creative blocks. The generation of musical ideas isn’t something that particularly interests me at this stage (I have WAY too many of those as it is!), but as a brainstorming tool or an assistant to help get the ball rolling with various tasks, it’s quickly become essential.

Runway, on the other hand, is a game-changer for music video production. Its AI-driven video editing tools simplify the process, from initial footage organization to complex post-production tasks. I used a combination of Midjourney and Runway to create the entire video for House of Mirrors.

While Midjourney is coming on in leaps and bounds (check a couple of the images I generated this evening below), video’s a more complex proposition, and while their engine is getting exponentially better (machine-learning take a bow), it’s still relatively simplistic … although it’s come a LONG way since those first clunky iterations.

I hope you enjoy the video (and the images!). Leave a comment wherever you like to leave comments :)
