One Way Out

The only way out is through.
Dig in so deep you come out the other side.

Week 52: Cosmic Cowboy

One year. 52 original music videos. Thank you.

Zurvan is a future cosmic cowboy living every country-song trope in space.
Alien wife left him.
Lost his job at the asteroid mine.
Cyborg dog ran off with a robovac.
And the hyperdrive on his pink Cadillac just died.

Special guests: Zurvan and the Eternity Men.

Saddle up, buckos. Enjoy the rodeo.

Week 51: Lightning in a Bottle

One stormy night, the Archangel Michael appears to the gypsy artist Zorba and commissions him to paint portals — living canvases that pull each viewer into a personal revelation.

A young woman finds the child she never had.
A banker sees the life he should have lived.
Lovers discover eternal passion.

But every brushstroke costs Zorba a piece of himself.

When the final painting — The Great Wave — is complete, it swallows him and Lila, carrying them across the bridge of light.

@AlexshevPm Thank you. All of my songs work this way — some stronger than others. I storyboard the story first, then write the song. The songs are essentially short stories that support the video. The final deliverable is the music video, not the song.

Week 50: The Lantern Maker

Biff spent decades playing empty rooms. Songs nobody wanted.

He goes to the Lantern Maker and wishes for his music to finally reach people.

An AI avatar of himself goes viral overnight.

Fame arrives. So do the memes.

Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.

@leohuynh139 yeah, that's the question, isn't it. Someone, somewhere is cooking up an AI avatar musician that is going to go globally viral. Real, unreal, surreal, its all the same.

Week 49: Lost in Time

Where does time go?

Or does time go at all?

We drift through it…
moments slipping like sand through the hourglass.

I never seem to know what time it is…
or how much we have left.

Watch it. Time well wasted.

Week 48: What About You?

Elliot and Athena watch the world start to glitch.

Coincidence? System error? Matrix reboot?

Then Elliot takes matters into his own hands… and discovers something he was never meant to see.

Do androids dream of electric sheep?

Or are we all just waking up inside the same dream?

Nothing is real.

What about you?

@ChrisGwinnLA ahh, I wasn't understanding the test. you throw something out for comment, comments aren't adoring, and you counter that you can do better. so why not wait and and put out a best vs best? enquiring minds want to know

Week 47: Last Train to Nowhere

In Greek myth, Charon ferried souls across the River Styx.

In 1941 he switched to an Art Deco train.

Same job. New wheels.

One-way ticket to Nowhere.

It takes forever to get there.

Enjoy the ride.

Week 46: Hey, Athena!

Android assistants are here.

Athena wakes you gently, plans your day, filters your feed, and optimizes everything.

She’s perfect.

Until she starts deciding who you should love.

Hey, Athena… keep me optimized.

Week 45: The Dream Factory

Think dreams are just random firings in your brain? Think again. Somewhere in the dark between stars, they’re manufactured, sorted, and streamed down to us. Real, unreal, surreal — it’s all the same when the lights go out.

Welcome to The Dream Factory.

A surreal midnight ride through the place where your nights are made.

Sweet dreams.

Week 44: The Oddity Hotel

A living dream materializes deep in the Black Forest — an anachronistic Art Nouveau hotel filled with phantasmagoric art and beautiful souls from another era.

Our cameras caught it the last time it appeared.

Soak it in.

Week 43: Judas Goat

Pure stop-motion magic through the most beautiful corners of British Columbia — wild west coast of Vancouver Island to the Okanagan to the staggering Icefields Parkway.

A real trip of a lifetime.

No AI. 100% handmade. Shot on Nikon, GoPro & DJI.

Week 42: Play It Again, Sam

There are a bazillion idioms, pithy one-liners offering brief wisdom.
What would a mash-up of them sound like in a song?

Play It Again, Sam.
