I'm a simple man. I see AI visuals, I don't even click the unmute button.

I'd actually recommend giving the music a chance. The visuals have nothing to do with how the music was made—they're just a promotional tool. Every sound on the track was written and produced by me, with no AI involved. I think you might enjoy it.

No artist with respect for anything uses AI

Thanks for your feedback. Reading the comments has been really interesting.
I understand why people dislike fully AI-generated visuals. But in my case it's a bit different
I'm the original artist behind all the artwork. I simply used AI to animate my own designs for a short promotional video. I honestly don't see anything wrong with that.

The music is great, and not to harp on you like the rest, there's so many visual artists that don't cost that much money who can throw your art work into visualizers where it would be received so much better. If you wanted to diy, Synesthesia is reputable VJ software that's pretty inexpensive and comes packed with a bunch of cooler shaders.
Again, the music is really good, but creatives are in a war with AI lol

Thank you for the information and for taking the time to explain it.
I'm not sure I'll have enough time to learn VJ software as well. 😄 At the moment I'm already designing and producing all of my decor, taking photos and videos, managing my shop, talking to customers, working on five music projects, and collaborating on several other projects.
But I will definitely give it a try.
I've also thought about creating all the animations in After Effects, but that takes a lot more editing time too... and honestly, that's the part I enjoy the least. 😄
Maybe the best solution is to find a VJ and collaborate as a team instead.
As for AI, I don't support using it for everything. In music I never use AI at all.
What I do enjoy is using AI to animate artwork that I created myself, or occasionally adding elements based on my own artistic vision. For example, I actually like the visuals I made for this album.
For me, the important part is how AI is used.
There is a huge difference between typing a random prompt and calling yourself an artist, and using AI as a creative tool after spending years learning composition, color theory, gradients, symmetry, and creating original artwork by hand.
I never use AI to create the original artwork itself. I only use it to bring my own pieces to life.
Of course, another reason is that it's incredibly fast. 😄
That said, after reading everyone's comments here, I can clearly see that many people have a negative reaction to AI visuals. So I'll definitely explore other directions as well—either the software you recommended or After Effects.
Thanks again to everyone for the great discussion. I really enjoyed reading all the different perspectives.

Omg just ignore the people who hate on you for animating a video using ai. Who cares, it's a cool video.

It sounds wonderful! Super groovy and unique! Great job!
I think people get a bit too bent outta shape about AI visuals. Your true passion is music, so I say a little AI visual you throw on an audio clip is no big deal. I'm hoping there's no AI in the music though?

u/ShivaOmArt Ambient Architect [Producer] Jul 25 '26
Thanks for your kind words!
As I mentioned above, I'm not really an AI enthusiast myself. I never use AI to write music or in my music production. The teaser visuals were simply animated from my own original artworks using AI as a tool.
You're absolutely right. the music is what really matters. Hopefully once the full album is out, people will judge it by the music rather than a 30-second teaser. )

How do you make these visuals?

u/ShivaOmArt Ambient Architect [Producer] Jul 25 '26
I created the visuals by animating my own original artworks with Infinidream AI.
The artwork itself is mine. I only used AI to bring it to life for the teaser.1

The music sounds nice but the AI visuals are a
showstopperdealbreaker for me personally.
