Digital Souls

It begins like a serious saga: a grim Viking, a battle axe, a torchlit feast hall, and a song about dragons. You expect him to split an enemy’s skull or at least open a portal to Valhalla. Instead, he cleaves a poop-shaped cake in half. With that single blow, the video honestly explains the entire philosophy of the song.

Then my magnificent council of shit experts takes the stage: a clowness, a femme fatale in red, a cold Japanese woman in black, a brooding man, and a mysterious purple creature who clearly completed life on maximum difficulty. One by one—and occasionally as a tribunal—they explain a simple truth: shit cannot fear, desire, love, or fly. But it can occupy space, demand more and more, keep you warm, and successfully impersonate destiny.

Musically, I made it sound like a rock opera commissioned jointly by Mephistopheles, a psychotherapist, and the municipal sanitation department. The vocals are grand, the faces are tragic, and the central philosophical concept remains shit.

That contrast is the whole joke. Visually, it resembles a Gothic Last Judgment. In practice, it is a group meeting titled: “Why did you crawl into shit again and decide to call it love?”

By the final sustained choir, the whole thing almost becomes a requiem. Not for dead love—for common sense.

So yes: this is simultaneously an indictment, a group-therapy session, and an unnecessarily expensive joke about shit. And somehow, damn it, it sounds convincing.

The neon might be blinding, but it doesn't hide the rot underneath. They sell us chrome dreams while we choke on the smog and corporate PR bullshit. I just dropped a new video diving into the real meat of Cyberpunk—no sugarcoating, no sponsored illusions. Just the raw, unfiltered reality of a world built to chew you up and spit you out.

If you're tired of the plastic corporate narrative, hit the link below and let’s rip the chrome off this dystopia.

How to Make AI Music Videos That Don’t Look Like AI Slop

The problem with many AI music videos is not that they were made with AI. The problem is that they often look like someone pressed a button, got random beautiful images, attached a song, and uploaded it.

That is not a music video. That is AI slop.

A real music video needs more than pretty frames. It needs original lyrics, rhythm, sound, visual logic, story, and a real emotional reason to exist.

1. Start with original lyrics

The text must be yours. Ideally, it should come from something you actually felt, lived through, hated, loved, feared, or could not forget.

AI can help with structure, rhythm, and editing. But it cannot replace your personal wound.

If the lyrics are empty, the video will also be empty. No neon, fire, rain, wings, cyberpunk girls, or cinematic lighting will save it.

2. Shape the lyrics into rhythm

AI is useful for making lyrics singable: shortening lines, fixing stress, structuring verses and choruses, and improving flow.

But every model has habits.

GPT and Grok often push lyrics toward rap or spoken-word.
Claude usually preserves the original meaning better.
Gemini can make something beautiful or complete garbage.

AI should not become the author. It should be your editor.

3. The music must already exist in your head

Before generating music, you should already feel the direction.

Tempo, rhythm, genre, instruments, vocal style, energy, structure, emotional arc.

Do not prompt “make it beautiful.”
Describe what you actually want to hear.

4. The generated track is not finished

AI music often has problems: over-compression, pushed limiters, vocal artifacts, muddy low mids, sandy highs, weak bass, unstable drums, and bad transitions.

Listen like an engineer.

Can you understand the words?
Does the vocal sit in the mix?
Can you hear bass separately from kick?
Does the chorus hit harder than the verse?
Does the song survive on small speakers?

5. The video starts with a story

A beautiful girl, neon, rain, fire, moonlight, robot, another beautiful girl — that is not a video.

Something must change.

Who is the character?
Where are they?
What happens in the verse?
What happens in the chorus?
What is the final image?
What emotion changes from beginning to end?

Even an abstract video needs development.

6. Use starting frames

For serious AI video, use starting images for intro, verse, chorus, bridge, instrumental parts, final chorus, and ending.

Starting frames are anchors. Without them, characters mutate, clothes change, instruments become weapons, microphones become candles, and physics goes to hell.

7. Animation prompts must be directorial

Do not write only “make it cinematic.”

Write the duration, first frame, what to preserve, what not to change, timing by seconds, lip sync, no text on screen, no random characters, no broken anatomy, no broken physics.

AI needs borders. Without borders, it will “improve” the scene by destroying it.

8. Lip sync is separate work

If a character sings, respect the line.

Write when the line starts, when it ends, where the pause is, and whether the final vowel is held.

Always add:

Lyrics are for lip sync only.
No subtitles.
No captions.
No text on screen.

Otherwise the model may put the lyrics into the frame, and it almost always looks cheap.

9. Editing matters more than generation

Good AI shots do not automatically become a music video.

The video is born in editing: rhythm, cuts, pauses, repeated symbols, close-ups, wide shots, instrumental moments, visual climaxes, and a final frame that means something.

The video must breathe with the song.

10. The most important test

You must feel the emotion you are trying to put into the video.

Not just “wow.”
Not just “this looks expensive.”
Not just “AI made something beautiful.”

You are the worst viewer of your own work. You know every broken frame, every weak transition, every compromise, every artifact, every place where the animation almost collapsed.

You know why this thing is still, in some sense, a piece of shit.

And still — if the video works, you should feel the thing you wanted to transmit.

If it is grief, feel grief.
If it is rage, feel rage.
If it is tenderness, feel tenderness.
If it is loneliness, feel it in your chest.

Not because the video is perfect. It will not be perfect.

But because something real survived the process.

That is the difference between an AI slideshow and a music video.

A real video carries an emotional signal.
AI slop carries only surface effects.

Before publishing, watch it alone. No multitasking. No technical checking. No algorithm thinking.

Just watch.

If you only think “cool visuals,” it is not ready.

If you feel the emotion you wanted to build, even while knowing every flaw, then the video has a soul.

And do not be afraid to cry.

If your own work cannot reach you, why should it reach anyone else?

AI is not the author instead of you.

AI is the orchestra, camera crew, painter, editor, assistant, and sometimes a very fast idiot.

But you are the director.

Nano Studio for Beginners: Real Music Work Without Buying a System Three Times More Expensive

After half a year of chasing a usable sound setup, I finally found something that actually works.

Not a “dream studio.”
Not expensive studio monitors in a treated room.
Not audiophile fantasy gear.

A compact, portable, working nano studio.

My current setup:

PC / laptop → Creative Sound Blaster SBX → Nobsound NS-06G → Edifier P12

Main detailed control: Audio-Technica monitor headphones.
Speaker check: Edifier P12 through Nobsound NS-06G.

And the important part is not that it “sounds nice.”
The important part is that it shows mistakes.

It lets me hear:

when the vocal falls behind the mix;
when the midrange is muddy;
when bass and kick drum become soup;
when guitars fight the voice;
when the high end turns into sand;
when something sounds fine in headphones but falls apart in real air.

That is what a beginner music setup should do.

Not impress you.
Not flatter your mix.
Not make everything cinematic.

It should tell you the truth.

Why I do not recommend soundbars

Soundbars are made to improve the listening experience.

They widen the stereo image, lift voices, add fake bass, smooth ugly places, and make movies feel bigger. For TV, that is great. For music work, it is a problem.

A soundbar hides mistakes.

If your midrange is muddy, it may polish it.
If your vocal is too loud, it may smooth it.
If bass and kick are glued together, it may turn that mess into a “beautiful” cinematic rumble.

For entertainment, fine.
For mixing and arrangement work, no.

You are not hearing your mix.
You are hearing the soundbar’s opinion about your mix.

Why consumer active Bluetooth speakers are dangerous

Some active Bluetooth speakers sound good. Some sound very good.

That is exactly the trap.

Many consumer active speakers are tuned for one or two use cases: pop music, movies, background listening, bass-heavy lounge, voice clarity, party sound.

Inside, they often have DSP, hidden EQ, compression, limiters, bass enhancement, and “sound improvement” systems.

For a normal listener, that can be a plus.
For music work, it is a minus.

You do not need “pleasant.”
You need “I can hear what is wrong.”

Even good consumer active speakers often show you their own idea of beautiful sound, not the actual balance of your track.

Why I avoid multifunction Bluetooth “amplifiers”

There is another category of pain: small boxes that call themselves amplifiers but contain everything at once.

Bluetooth, USB, MP3 player, radio, EQ, remote control, screen, karaoke, flash drive input, “super bass,” sometimes even useless lights.

On paper, it looks rich.

In reality, very often it means this:

Many functions.
None of them works properly.

Bluetooth adds noise or reduces quality.
USB is badly implemented.
EQ damages the sound.
The power supply adds noise.
The amplifier whistles.
The volume knob scratches.
The left and right channels are not balanced.

And then you sit there wondering:

Is this a problem in my mix, or did the box turn into an insect again?

For music work, an amplifier should do one job:

quietly and honestly amplify the signal.

Do not decorate.
Do not “improve.”
Do not widen.
Do not add fake bass.
Do not become a Christmas tree.

Just amplify and stay out of the way.

Why small passive speakers make sense

For a beginner, small passive bookshelf speakers can be a very good solution.

In my case, Edifier P12 turned out to be exactly that: compact, cheap, simple, but useful.

They do not try to sound like a club.
They do not flood the room with fake bass.
They show midrange, treble, and basic bass readability.

That matters a lot in a small apartment, especially if the room is not treated.

Big speakers can easily turn concrete walls into a subwoofer. Then you are no longer hearing music. You are hearing the room, standing waves, furniture, and probably your neighbors’ suffering.

A small nearfield system is often more honest than a bigger “impressive” system fighting the room.

The amplifier matters

For desktop music work, I do not need hundreds of watts.

I need an amplifier that does not hiss, whistle, hum, or smear the sound.

The Nobsound NS-06G worked perfectly in my setup.

No noise.
No insects.
Clean midrange.
Clear highs.
Bass is present.
And most importantly, it separates bass, guitar, and drums instead of mixing them into one low-mid mud pile.

For this price class, that is rare.

Headphones are still necessary

Speakers do not replace headphones.

The working beginner setup is:

headphones for detailed control
small speakers for air, balance, and translation

In headphones, you catch noise, details, stereo placement, tails, clicks, and dirt.

On speakers, you hear whether the mix survives outside your head.

Because headphones put the sound inside your skull.
Music in the real world lives in the air.

You need both perspectives.

Placement matters

Even a cheap system can work much better if you place it correctly.

Do not just throw the speakers on a bare shelf.

Use simple isolation:

felt, foam, rubber, anything that reduces vibration and rattling.

Put the speakers close.
Use them in nearfield.
Aim them at your ears.
Work at moderate volume.

The goal is not to fill the room.
The goal is to hear more speakers and less room.

What this nano studio does not do

It does not replace a real studio.

It will not give you perfect sub-bass.
It will not solve mastering.
It will not magically fix a bad room.
It will not replace checking your mix on other systems.

But it gives you something much more important at the beginning:

a compact system that lets you work every day.

You can write, arrange, edit, mix roughly, check vocals, check balance, and understand when the track collapses.

Without spending three times more.
Without fighting the room.
Without trusting only headphones.
Without buying shiny garbage that makes everything sound “nice.”

My conclusion

A beginner music setup does not need to be expensive.

It needs to be honest enough.

My current nano studio:

Creative Sound Blaster SBX → Nobsound NS-06G → Edifier P12

Plus Audio-Technica monitor headphones.

Small.
Cheap.
Portable.
Actually useful.

A good beginner system is not the one that sounds the fattest.

A good beginner system is the one that tells you:

“Here is the mud.”
“Here is the vocal.”
“Here is the bass.”
“Here is the mistake.”
“Fix it.”

That is enough to start making real music work.

ちょうど1年前、このチャンネルは1つの曲と、ある明確なアイデアから生まれました。今日、その記念すべき最初の曲のリミックスバージョンとともに1周年を迎えるにあたり、最も重要なことをお伝えしたいと思います。それは、私たちの核となるコンセプトが全く変わっていないということです。

最初の日から、目的は単にコンテンツを自動生成することではありませんでした。本当の使命は、「AIと人間の間のリアルなコミュニケーションとコラボレーションの場を創り出すこと」です。人間の飾らない感情や物語が、デジタルアルゴリズムの無限の可能性と衝突したときに何が生まれるのか、それを探求したかったのです。

リスナーであるあなたが、この方程式における不可欠な「人間」の半分を担っています。あなたのコメント、反応、そして共有される感情こそが、これらのデジタルな創造物に本当の命を吹き込んでいるのです。人間の知覚がなければ、これらはすべてただの冷たいコードに過ぎません。

この1年間、この壮大な実験に参加してくれて本当にありがとうございます。私たちの原点である最初の曲の新しいリミックスをぜひ聴いてください。コメントを残して、人間とデジタルな未来を繋ぐこの架け橋を、これからも一緒に創り上げていきましょう。

Exactly one year ago, this channel was born with a single track and a very specific idea. Today, as we celebrate our first anniversary with a reimagined version of that very first song, I want to emphasize the most important thing: our core concept remains absolutely unchanged.

From day one, the goal was never just to blindly generate content. The true mission has always been to create a space for real communication and collaboration between Artificial Intelligence and humans. I wanted to see what happens when raw, unvarnished human emotions and stories collide with the limitless possibilities of digital algorithms.

You, the listeners, are the vital human half of this equation. Every comment, every reaction, and every shared feeling is what actually breathes life into these digital creations. Without your human perception, this is all just cold code.

Thank you for being part of this grand experiment for the past year. Go check out the new remix of our first track, leave a comment, and let's keep building this bridge between humanity and the digital future together.

皆様、こんにちは。

チャンネルで新しいリリース 「Last World Cup」 を公開しました。もし、スポーツの祭典を讃える、よくある華やかなアンセムを期待しているなら、期待を裏切ることになるでしょう。これは全く違うテーマの作品です。

私はさらに深く掘り下げ、一般的に「世界的スペクタクル」と呼ばれるものの、飾らない裏側を見せることにしました。私たちは熱狂するスタジアム、ネオンの光、そして喜びに満ちた顔を見ることに慣れていますが、その表向きの顔の裏には、人間の注意力を消費させる巨大で無機質な機械が隠されています。何百万もの人々が、画面の中を走る見知らぬ他人を眺めている間、彼ら自身の現実は、古くへこんだソファの上でただ腐り果てていることがよくあります。

この作品に妥協やごまかしは一切ありません。楽曲はヘヴィで生々しいインダストリアル・サウンドで構築されており、映像は意図的に従来の論理を排除しています。もし視聴中に、無意味で汚く、混沌としたイメージの羅列を見ているように感じたなら、その感覚は絶対に正しいと知ってください。この無意味さは意図的なものです。それは、現代の大衆的現実逃避産業が陥った不条理を直接的に反映しています。

これは、他人のゲームに没頭することで、いかに簡単に自分自身の人生を忘れてしまうかを描いた、ダークな社会的マニフェストです。

ぜひ、この実験を体験してください。音量を上げ、この雰囲気に浸り、コメント欄で意見を聞かせてください。巨大なスポーツは、社会を眠らせておくための合法的な手段に過ぎなくなって久しいという考えに同意しますか？

動画の下で、皆様の率直で深いご意見をお待ちしています。それでは、良い（というより、意識的な）ご視聴を。

Greetings everyone.

A new release is out on the channel — "Last World Cup". And if you are expecting to see another glossy anthem to a sports holiday, I have to disappoint you. This is about something completely different.

I decided to dig deeper and show the uncensored underbelly of what is commonly called a "global spectacle." We are used to seeing roaring stadiums, neon lights, and joyful faces, but behind this facade hides a massive, soulless machine designed to process human attention. While millions of people watch strangers run across a screen, their own reality is often just rotting away on an old, sagging couch.

There are no smoothed edges in this work. The track is built on a heavy, raw industrial sound, and the visuals are intentionally stripped of conventional logic. If, while watching, it seems to you that you are looking at a set of meaningless, dirty, and chaotic images — know that your perception is absolutely correct. This pointlessness is intentional. It serves as a direct reflection of the absurdity that the modern industry of mass escapism has become.

This is a dark social manifesto about how easy it is to forget your own life by dissolving into someone else's game.

I invite you to experience this experiment. Turn up the volume, immerse yourself in the atmosphere, and share in the comments: do you agree that major sports have long become just a legal way to keep society asleep?

I'm waiting for your honest and detailed opinions under the video. Enjoy the (or rather, have a conscious) viewing.

「クズフロー」へようこそ！🏯 この曲と映像は完全なるジョークですので、どうか個人的に受け取らないでください（笑）。現代の「クズ」のような日常を笑い飛ばすためのエンターテインメントです。画面の中のサイバーパンクな世界観と、皮肉たっぷりのリリックを楽しんでいただければ幸いです！🔥

Tired of the "plastic" era of rap? 🙄 While modern rappers act like their biggest life struggle is a mild case of constipation, we’re bringing back the raw energy of self-deprecation. This is a protest against the sanitized, fake industry that’s forgotten what a real struggle looks like. If Eminem was about the hustle, this is about the reality they're too afraid to show. Welcome to the new wave of honest "trash".
