Quick update about At the Ends of the Earth

Posted by Troisnyx - November 13th, 2019


Remember this song?


As some of you may have seen on certain Discord servers, the second edit of the music video to At the Ends of the Earth is out. It is by no means finished, and on Friday, I'll be meeting our filmographer, Chris Davis, at Soundskills to go over any possible changes.


I'm well aware that from the time I posted this song and considered it done, it's been nearly a year. Hopefully we'll see its completion not long from now!


Meanwhile, have a little teaser. It feels like I'm dangling a carrot. I don't mean to.

Good items take long times to accomplish hmm... interesting loop there too. I'm imagining if you could add in the sequence playing backwards too it'd make for a seamless one, wonder if that's easy to do with whatever software you use for these...

Was just 'bout to stop by and say thanks for that recent response, interesting coincidence with the floating tank (Motoko was submerged in one of those at the start of Ghost in a Shell too you know?) and AI really feels like a threat in the future... not just with creative work but everything. Maybe more so everything that's NOT creative. I remember Pharrel in a recent interview saying musicians have something that AI currently does not, which is intuition. They can predict things, and mimic human creation, but they just don't have the prerequisite something special to do something totally different than what it seems they're meant to. When all paths point right but you just really feel like you need to go left instead... that's the beautify of our craft.

Spontaneity, maybe. Unpredictability. That it's all not just according to calculation and that predetermined pattern.

I just chucked a segment of the video on Giphy. ? I didn't think of making it a seamless loop, though admittedly, it looks like I'm trying to hypnotise someone. Chris is using Final Cut Pro for the editing and perhaps, the idea may have crossed his mind.

I wholeheartedly agree with you; I feel that craft isn't dead. That art and music are not the remit of algorithms. If ever the repetitive, money-generating work is taken over by machines, we should be making our arts and culture flourish. I only hope that my stuff goes left field enough to be different, to offer something new to the world. I don't honestly know if I'm doing that, and the thought of it does worry me.

Ah good to know. Hehe it does have that hypnotic motion, though to be truly hypnotic it's best without the choppy ending. Maybe safer this way...

That'd be ideal yeah. :) Less time on chores/more time on crafts! I just wonder if we'd appreciate them the same if life still isn't a bit of a challenge. Creativity flows the strongest in uphill struggle IMO. Art's a great form of a therapy. Hope the future holds a reasonable balance between pastimes and purpose... but first and foremost that it just doesn't all go the worst way possible, AI takes over; all the dystopian dreams we seem to be wishing into existence via the themes of most modernday mainstream media don't really come to fruition. It's a bit strange how eager we are to cast ourselves into things we really don't know anything about.

Anyway, as for not making art that stands out enough... that's tough. Feels like everyone's borrowing from everyone these days in one way or another. On the one hand there's almost too much good stuff in circulation; on the other it's maybe this that keeps it circulating... a mutual cycle of inspiration. And I doubt anybody has the time to take in so much content that, even if you don't make entirely original content, they can't appreciate it as if not original to them, at least something new. When resources start to run out it becomes a matter of reapplying ourselves to what we already have; redefining and reinventing; maybe rediscovering what we already have.

I feel like we're far from that stage at this point... but then again in the larger creative spectrum the human time span is probably a lot like the mind of a goldfish. There's no way we'll have time to fully appreciate everything, or experience everything. Similar to how you'd think traveling more would make the world smaller to you, and yet it has the opposite effect; it just shows you how impossible it'll ever be to see all of it. The more places you visit the larger you realize those places are, and how much time you'd have to invest into actually seeing everything. And the digital realm, unlike the world, knows no limits.

So, I'm sure you have plenty to contribute! If not all new at least all new to the majority of all views! This turned into quiet a ramble hmm, sorry bout that. It's probably been said a million times elsewhere but I hope you hadn't read it there already. ;)
