Reborn in the depths of the cold water, bided his time until he surfaced once more, as something new.
Greetings! My name is Patience, or Pat for short, and here I am in all my drowned glory! I hope to see you all very soon when I commandeer a live stream! Art by Uikoui! #vtuber
In the spirit of celebrating non-AI creative work; it’s the anniversary of this music video, in which I held my breath for 4.5 minutes in order to perform the entire song underwater in one shot. No FX, no splicing of takes. It took me 3 months of training to get my breath hold up to a stationary 5 minutes in preparation for the shoot (don’t worry, the drowning is acting, I wasn’t running out of air.)
It’s a slow-paced video. But the focus on a gradual buildup of surreal dread is meant to activate mirror neurons in the watcher, the same ones that turn on when you see someone yawn. I wanted you, over the course of 4 minutes, to slowly drown with me. To experience the feeling that birthed this song in the first place.

@nyxedbones_alt we had a meeting at work a few months ago with the higher ups to address things that are slowing us down and what we need from them to help things move better, and their takeaway from the meeting was "lets get everyone on the team chatgpt premium" 🤡
