Magdalena Bay - Dreamcatching (Official Video)

[@StarlightPengu]

I clicked this out of curiosity, expecting absolutely nothing. What I got was a song I can't seem to stop playing. Then I delve deeper into Magdalena Bay and holy shit this is some of the best music I've heard in a long time. It's an absolute joy to come across good artists like this and solidifies why I need to just click random music.

[@DylanZyrek]

Exactly my experience 2 weeks ago. Never heard of these 2 or any of their music and then all of a sudden... obsessed and already bought tickets to their show with Flume in Cleveland on June 3rd lol.

True story; I thought that I’d dreamed this song. I was on the plane to Costa Rica and fell asleep during my first shuffle through mercurial world. I was craving “that dream song” until it came back on and i was so happy.

[@RoseJetExhaust]

Trippy and dreamlike. Huge effort by Felix, Max, Josha, Georgia, Mica&Matthew. The video fits incredibly well with the song.

[@lovelyletterl8515]

How was it done

[@SBOK41]

[@5ages507]

This video feels like you all have accomplished projecting a dream world into a visual form. I have to say as a dreamer myself this gives me hope, and it is really just a super serene and comforting to know that someone can articulate these feelings.

[@sondoro1993]

Exactly

[@differentbutsimilar7893]

A lot of what these ML algorithms come up with remind me of things I've seen in dreams, or past psychedelic experiences. It's kind of uncanny sometimes, how much it reminds me of things I saw with eyes closed on dissociative drugs, which at high enough doses can sort of shut down signals from the body and take the part of you left experiencing things zipping through grand, and ever evolving eye-popping sequences of dreamlike scenes. It starts with simple geometry and colors over a deep black backdrop that fills out with more intricate and recognizable forms as you look on and try to make sense of what it is (the shifting adapts to what you perceive in it in real time,) but I swear, the more complex arrangements of colors, the way lines come together... it's freaky how much it jogs the memory. That was like 10 years ago now, but seeing this makes it feel like it was yesterday. Like... even describing this trips me out, because I realize I am roughly approximating the actual process used to generate this kind of visual art. Art is amazing. It's crazy to see experiences you could never pin down descriptively be rendered in such a convincing way. Perhaps this technology is hiding some secrets about how our own brains work from us, that may one day change how we understand the human experience. That would be wild!

[@giovannigracia727]

I don't think they could've done a better job with this video. It perfectly encapsulates everything that this album is. It's like they knew what was going through everyone's heads when first hearing this song and made it into this video. Just a perfect blissfully ethereal experience this was.

[@Mikelica69]

Yesss!!!

[@LenFreak]

oh my god how do you even make something like this?! this is one of the most creative music videos I've ever seen

[@DobDob]

im fairly sure AI is involved but this is the most incredible use of it ive ever seen

[@x.2196]

I'm not knowledgeable about the specifics or anything but I'd say it's video footage mixed with cgi footage that is then fed through some AI software to produce these incredible visuals. Obviously a lot more goes into but that's just a simplistic explanation.

[@serloinz]

@@x.2196 that is basically what happens.. you just feed the video through the AI (giving it prompts (descriptive sentences) at certain points for style and content etc ..once you get used to it (there are many different versions out already) it's quite simple but can take forever to generate all the frames (then you normally have to upscale all the frames and use another thing to interpolate between the frames to smooth it out :)

since you have synesthesia you might like the French metal band Igorrr. The guitarist has synesthesia and he writes all the music himself, the other members have a lot of trouble playing it cause it doesn't make sense to them and they all sing in a made up language. Its kinda funny actually, the song most people seem to like from them is called Cheval.

[@swanvonmane8533]

@@veil6666 idk if this is as much a glimpse into future media as it seems at first glance. This is basically a matter of creating a video from scratch already, and running it through an 'AI Filter', in less words. Having a peak inside of the engine demystifies a lot of the things we describe as AI visuals. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this video was simply done by feeding all of the frames of the original music video into the AI imaging machine, and have it imaging to the original video, so it's roughly approximating what it knows of the original video, to discern what its seeing in the original video. Maybe there was a different process, but that's how I would do it to try to recreate this effect.
