Still Life: An AI Band
Creative Direction
Music
Graphic Design
For my graduation project I gave myself the challenge to work on an AI music project –
something which I’m very sceptical of.
The result is the band “Still Life”.
I invented different characters, gave them personalities and backstories and based on
these I created AI agents for each band member. The characters lived in a groupchat where
they would collaborate on rough song ideas. They pulled random inspiration from a pool of
content I curated / made and reinterpreted these fragments through their own perspectives.
Their ideas became the basis for the EP „Enter The Lotus Club“. 5 tracks written by
Still Life and produced by Jeroen Wijne, ffield and Tamino404.
The project asks how a virtual band can develop an aesthetic and cultural position in an
era defined by referencing and remixing, using AI as its primary production tool. A tool
which at its core is also just a recombination machine.
