💠 The inspiration and story:

In the great metropolis, where the obsession for progress is present, people live their daily lives by the clock. Work and fun keep the city pulsing and growing, where its citizens don't care what happens beyond.

This piece is a new musical adventure we explore the rushed life of the citizens, which is inspired by the lifestyle of the 50's and New York City (That's why the city looks like New York), adding some elements of dieselpunk aesthetics. Although it could be placed between dieselpunk, decopunk, and atompunk,...etc.

In this music, I have had a lot of fun exploring the elements of Jazz and some minimalism.

So, you make a lot of retro-futuristic music, you mean you would like to live in the past? No, at that time I couldn't do what I can do today with today's technology, even if I went 10 years in the past I would be desperate for the power that computers had.

💠 The visuals:

In editing, I had a lot of fun creating the sequences for this video. The still images in this production were created with AI: Midjourney, Stable Difussion XL, and DallE3, since I knew specifically what I wanted to put in. For upscaling and removing the background I used Clipdrop by Stability AI.

The animations were created with After Effects, for the satellite views I used Google Earth Studio since the AI couldn't do flat satellite views.

The 3D models used are:
"Heavy Escort Frigate, "Le Téméraire" Class" (skfb.ly/oJuLw) by H.Foucault.
"ZEPPELIN" (skfb.ly/QLVV) by Alexey
"AOT Marley Airship" (skfb.ly/6YH97) by Solarliu
