San Fermin - Weird Environment (Official Music Video)
Listen to Weird Environment here : orcd.co/weird-environment
Directed by Matthew Slotkin & Ellis Ludwig-Leone
Edited by Matthew Slotkin
Written by Ellis Ludwig-Leone & Allen Tate
Produced by Allen Tate
Mixed by Lars Stalfors
Mastered by Pete Lyman
Recorded at Better Company Records
This song was fueled by the manic energy that comes just after a breakup, when everything feels ultraviolet and surreal. I wanted the music to be always charging forward- you have to keep moving or you’ll drown.
The song is about the disorientation of that time, how your whole world feels suddenly fake and unpleasant. I’ve also felt a related sense of distress around the approach of AI in the world of art and music. So I thought it might be cool to use a tool that makes me uncomfortable to create a music video that captures that same feeling of discomfort. It felt like a way of engaging with the issue, rather than ignoring it and just having this abstract blanket of fear around it.
We took a press photo of me- the first one ever taken, when I was 21- and then transformed it into 37 different ‘Ellises,’ based on stylistic prompts. We situated them in the environments described in the song, and taught them to sing along to the lyrics. Then we blew them up in cartoonish explosions.
While we were making it, the AI felt less like an ‘author’ and more like a tool, which was reassuring. (And still a pretty wonky tool, to be honest.) I still feel anxious about where it’s all headed- that in the rush around AI we try to remember why we make art in the first place, which is that it’s nice to communicate with other people. But also: it’s funny as hell to see a portrait of me as Taylor Swift, or Popeye, or a Picasso painting, and then destroy it. My hope is that the concept and the juxtaposition, which came from human authors, are what makes it feel substantive, or at least more than a party trick.
After a break up, you try on a bunch of personalities, living in this uncanny valley where nothing feels quite right. The strange animations we made felt like the right way to say something about that time. It was also a fun way to render a bunch of flooded environments, and to touch on some of the global stresses we have all been feeling recently.
- Ellis
Lyrics:
Burned my life down to the ground
Emptied out the Hungry Ghost
Wrote a sad song to get it out
If it helped I didn’t notice
Got my space but I need a couch
I’m adrift or I’m an island
When I think too much about it
All the lights go ultraviolet
Really coming down today
Gimme somewhere dry to spend the night
I can sleep in anything
I don’t need to shut my eyes too tight
I’m a weird environment these days
Map me out but then winds change
Every hour takes a week
I’m a weird environment these days
Another night out in this place
Take me home or out to sea
Don’t leave
In the morning when we wake up
And there’s water to the bedposts
And you’re washing off your makeup
And I’m washed out like the Gulf Coast
I’m a weird environment these days
Map me out but then winds change
Every hour takes a week
I’m a weird environment these days
Another night out in this place
Take me home or out to sea
Don’t leave
Don’t leave

    Alright, reading the comments, people seem to generally dislike the use of AI. However, I believe it's the execution, not the tool, that's the problem. That, and the fact that it's called the "Official Music Video" instead of "Official Audio and Lyrics." I say this because I've witnessed what Dirt Poor Robins managed to do on their entire Firebird record. Each of the 12 songs had videos generated with AI imagery. I think a good part of the negative reception comes from the title too, since this really feels like a cheap substitute for a proper video instead of an alternative. What Dirt Poor Robins did with theirs is they called them the "Official Audio and Lyrics" instead. I haven't seen any hatred on their end, so I imagine it works quite well. But they also had a fair bit higher production quality. As for the entire "AI is stealing from humans" argument... Humans are stealing from humans. We call that inspiration. You can complain it feels soulless, though that's fair. So yeah.. Hopefully you guys try again not as a proper substitute of a real video but as an alternative. Its still better to have one than not the way i see it.

    I've been listening to San Fermin since Sonsick came out, and I believe that choosing an AI-generated clip was one of the worst choices ever made. We need more clips like Sonsick, The Hunger or Little Star, not soulless clips generated by robots.

    People really don't get art, don't know how to interpret. Get on with times. What we are living now is just a repetetion of when machines were introduced to industry, people were freaking out, panic and histeria. But in the end people were still required for anything to work. Like when cameras were invented and painters started thinking they would lose their jobs, they just went and invented new ways to create and promote art, using AI is just a new form of that. Don't really understand the backlash against San Fermin.

  • @colin-nekritz
    @colin-nekritz Před 7 měsíci

    I, for one, welcome my AI Ellis overlords. And seriously, people, stop getting so butthurt over the use of AI here. It was a stylistic choice, no artists were actually harmed in the making of this video (save for AI Ellis), and was done in good fun. If you don’t like AI instead of being couch critics go after Sam Altman, kidnap him, write legislators, seek getting laws changed. Gnashing your teeth at a good bands’s music video is basically like picking on a homeless person for being responsible for the evils of late stage capitalism. It’s misguided and misplaced and shows you’d rather just whine and bemoan artists than actually do something yourselves. Weak sauce.

  • @NigelPowell
    @NigelPowell Před 7 měsíci

    For those of you here who profess to love art and artists, and yet fail to read the description up top, you're kind of missing the point. This is an artistic comment on the modern world, AI and all, encompassed in a break up song. Quote: "The song is about the disorientation of that time, how your whole world feels suddenly fake and unpleasant. I’ve also felt a related sense of distress around the approach of AI in the world of art and music." It's absolutely true that we can't ignore what's happening, it won't go away. We have to deal with it. Like nuclear warheads.

    • @babayaga3098
      @babayaga3098 Před 7 měsíci

      I feel like no matter what the artist’s “message” about how weird or modern or whatever AI is, the issue is that USING IT AT ALL IS BAD and they used it. It’s like saying “stealing is bad” and demonstrating that by stealing someone’s wallet and then going “see I was right” while watching them fail to buy groceries

    • @sciencecompliance235
      @sciencecompliance235 Před 3 měsíci

      @@babayaga3098 Generative AI isn't going away. It's only going to get better and be used more. I recognize there are problems with the legal framework about how artists' works are being used, but ignoring this 'problem' isn't going to make it go away. In this case, I think the analogy is less like stealing someone's possession directly and more like buying a stolen car from a shady dealer... except where the shady dealer is legally allowed to sell the car.
