In the past few weeks I've been trying to improve my mastering skills and I got into txt2img creation using stable diffusion. The coming months, I'm hoping to combine those two things to revisit some old jams, add some bells and whistles, master the tracks and create videoclips. This is the first track I've done this with.

The earliest version of this concept was actually one of my first clips on this channel which I posted more than three years ago, you can check that one out here:
   • Maschine MK3 Loop - With Acoustic Guitar  

Half a year later, I revisited this concept and added a lot of synths and an extra guitar. You can find that one here:    • Floating w/ Keystep Pro, Minilogue xd, Min...  

Since then, sadly I lost the individual stems of this track, so I wasn't able to add a lot of new things, without disturbing the mix, so this release is mainly a remaster with some extra background drums, percussion and ambient sounds. Regardless, I'm quite happy with how it turned out in the end.

The video is created using a local version of stable diffusion with the deforum extension. Installing and solving errors was a pain in the ass, but eventually I managed to get it working. For interested Mac users, a guide can be found here:    • Mac: Easy Stable Diffusion WebUI Installat...

In this clip, I wanted to create a watercolor version of a shifting landscape which went from nature landscapes to a biopunk city and back to nature landscapes. Still very new to optimizing prompts and camera movements, so I get a lot of unexpected results, but it's great fun to come up with words describing the image I see in my head. Definitely recommend trying it out!
