That Very Hairy New Video!

A.I. is everything these days. It will be a question of time when we're all depending on it I guess. Is this bad? Every invention has its positive sides and in my case I try to keep up with the "modern standards", new tools to stay creative, to create something mostly funny. I've always done that.

There are a lot of A.I.editors online where you can create a whole little movie from a simple picture. I've kept it low budget of course, that's the DIY principle! I had a lot of pictures already for the albumcovers, so I uploaded 2 of them, a start frame and an end frame. Then you come up with a story. This was my tiny fantasy: a man running scared, tries to escape a black planet with a balloon, but fails most of the time:

 

Go for example to Image to video to create one.

Subsequently, I had something like 15 little SD movies with a 5 to 10 seconds length frame. I loaded them in Veed, an online video editor and tried them out on this new funky song: De Nada

There's not a lot of singing on this song, only a few familiar Spanish shout-outs like: Gracias! De Nada and Adios! So it's a mostly instrumental funny funky groove with only the pretence than to get up and dance say gracias!

Enjoy!

The Very Hairy New Standard Picture

The Very Hairy New Standard

That's the title of the new album. Guess you can figure out the "very hairy new" part.

The covers: 

It started with some colourful pictures, made on the day of my son's wedding! Official. A gentleman in black. Well, I came up with the idea of changing the background and after a few experiments I found this picture that grabbed my eyes and imagination. Yes, that's it! A sort of black sun with black hairy rays shining back at me. Or a black planet I'd like to escape from. Sign of the times?

The concept:

I developed this concept further into a new video I'll share with you... later.

The title came up when I, and I guess the whole (98%) wide world, now come to realize that there's a whole new (or is it still the old?), pushy standard happening, trying to change the way we have to treat each other now. I think it's a very hairy one. Is it part of a plan? Who cares?

The whole simple, humane thinking about each other took a very ugly turn in my view the last 5 years. Me and you. Them and us. Mistrust. Anger. Extreme greed. Power. Money. Monopoly. Nationalism. War. Fear. 

Me, me, me. Look at me. O, O, I am so emo... Alone on a black planet. Escape. Balloon.

Unbelievable. This is 2026, not the paranoia 1950s! Or is it?

The music:

Tongue-in-cheek. Fun. Yes, very serious.
