syntopikon Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 So this is something I started doing recently. I feed all the lyrics from a song I like (points if its descriptive) into an AI image generator, see what it gives back, and turn that into a lyric music video. Immigrant Song – which, besides Battle of Evermore, is probably my most listened to Zeppelin song – is one of the first few that I worked on. You can usually figure why a particular lyric returns a particular image, but the most interesting is when you give it vocalizations. Towards the end "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" is repeated several times. I'm not sure how Midjourney figures out what image to generate based on these lyrics but so far, they return a lot of blue & red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's a very fun project to work on. I'm working through Kashmir now (Battle of Evermore to follow) and some of the images I get back are pretty interesting (and most are fantastical). This is what I got when I entered "Yellow desert stream": Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I would like to request "Four Sticks" and "Achilles Last Stand". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add them to the list and will try to have them done by the weekend and out by next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryder1978 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Gentlemen, thank you for sharing these! I don't know if it's just me, but I LOVE the images that come up. I can't help but think Jimmy would love the image that comes up during the "Stairway to Heaven" guitar solo. I'd love to have a full size painting of that image for my house! Also. I wonder what the images would look like for Alice Cooper's "Sick Things", "I Love the Dead" or "Dead Babies"! 😮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for Immigrant Song, I couldn't use "gore", so I replaced it with "carnage" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I remember you saying that, which is why I was curious if the program would allow the gruesome A.C. lyrics. Thanks for adding those to the list and keep up the good work - I love watching them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
