My newest trip/album of music is here! Liquid dreams is the culmination of years of my personal journey with AI art. The process used here, called Steerable Motion (via AnimateDiff within ComfyUI) allows sequences of images to become moving imagery that morphs and evolves like liquid before your eyes, constantly changing. The images used to build these sequences were sourced from my years of using all kinds of AI tools, from unique styles I cooked up in Midjourney to custom styles of my own that I trained into Stable Diffusion and everything in-between!
(Unfortunately, for anyone without a corporate/university level GPU access, this process is limited to 512x512 video output so the resolution here is small. I prefer this to the way in which various upscale methods ruin the fine details, just FYI it can't be streamed in HD as it is not HD video. Soon, we'll be able to make our dreams a reality in VR but for now we have this VHS tape from the future, enjoy!)
As usual, visuals and music were made by me with the music being done in Ableton. I would like to give a huge shout out to all of the amazing coders creating magic that I could not make on my own and then sharing it, mostly for free/open-source. It's a beautiful world we live in, sometimes... THANK YOU.
This is a really fun, intense and novel experience that I think anyone could enjoy. Just be aware that it's extremely visually stimulating as you won't be looking at the same thing for longer than a second so prepare accordingly. As usual, pairs very well with psychedelic experiences.
The album can be found here if you want the music alone:

If you like my work, I need your help! Algorithms and general noise make it almost impossible for me to get eyes on my work so if you like what you see, please share it with anyone you think could enjoy it too. I need you, I appreciate you and I'm grateful for your interest 👽
