Empyre release new music video for ‘Waking Light’

EMPYRE have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Waking Light, is taken from the UK rock band’s upcoming new album, Relentless, which is scheduled to be released later this month.

A highly debated topic in the world at large there are arguments for and against the use of AI, particularly in the field of the arts. Whereas some believe that AI threatens creativity with programmable sequencing already reaching the ability to craft entire songs and map out artwork, the band instead wanted to show that we should embrace this advancement of technology. The video aims to open the conversation as to where do we stand with the use of AI. With the new music video, the band wanted to see just how both artist and technology can coexist to create something truly unique. The artwork for the video was created using AI technologies such as Midjourney and Open AI’s Dall-E to make over 1000 individual AI generated images manipulated by the band into several infinite zoom sequences.

Speaking about the new music video, the band says, “why go through the pain of dealing with a slow and expensive human artist when I can get mind-blowing, free results in 30 seconds from an algorithm? That being said, there are some things that machine’s simply can’t do but if the option is there, then why shouldn’t we take it?!”
