All Is Stillness – A Video Song Born from Meditation
A couple of years ago, I used animated AI art to illustrate a poem about meditation I wrote called All Is Stillness—a quiet reflection on the nature of thought and the spaciousness of mind. At the time, the tools available for AI-generated art and video were limited compared to the capabilities of AI generators today. The result was meaningful – at least for me – but I wished I could do the idea more justice. Now, with the evolution of generative technology, I’ve revisited the piece. This time, I didn’t just illustrate the poem—I turned it into a song. The original video featured my voice reading the words aloud, but the new version carries them in a soft, meditative melody. It’s gentler, more immersive, and far closer to the feeling I wanted to evoke. The lyrics speak to a particular experience in meditation: the moment when thoughts rise and fall…
Into the Liminal: A Threshold of Light and Spirit
Have you ever stood alone in a forest and felt watched—but not in a fearful way? More like a whisper in the trees, a shimmer in the air, as if something ancient and unseen is aware of your presence? This is the feeling that inspired Into the Liminal: The Realm of the Forest Spirits, my newest Psychemagination video artwork. It’s a deepening of the journey begun in my last piece, which danced with the playful fae of the Australian bush. This time, I wanted to step further into that strange and sacred space where the material world begins to loosen, and what remains is light, movement, and presence. Accompanied by the hauntingly beautiful track “The Winds of Past Regrets” by Kris Newland, this film explores not just spirits of nature, but the energy field they inhabit—and invite us to witness. The creatures here are more abstract, more elusive, and part…
The Hidden Forest: A Gentle Tribute to the Life Beyond Sight
There’s a kind of magic in the forest that doesn’t show itself to the eye, but can be felt in the body—especially when we walk slowly, quietly, and listen. When I enter the bushland near my home on the south coast of NSW, I don’t just see trees and birds and fungi—I feel a hum beneath it all. A kind of quiet, nurturing aliveness that seems to exist just beyond the visible. It’s as though the forest is full of hidden helpers—tiny beings that keep the energy flowing and the system alive. Not in a literal sense, but in a deeply felt one. That’s what inspired The Hidden Forest, my latest AI-generated music video. Set to Kris Newland’s meditative track Frozen in Time, this short video is a gentle celebration of that unseen world. Cute forest spirits, fungi sprites, glowing birds, curious koalas, and leafy guardians wander through dreamy digital…
