About the work and its creation

A song I made in Suno sparked the idea for a circus of the future. The more I listened, the more the images started to take shape.

A Suno song started it all

The music came first. While trying different songs in Suno v4.5, I made one I really liked.

I wanted to make a video that did something with this track. As I kept listening, an image of a slightly futuristic circus began to appear.

People and creatures of the circus

From the images the song brought to mind, I built a world of circus costumes, strange creatures and robots.

A small white bird-like creature with red decorations — A small creature in elaborate dress

Elephant-like robots at a chessboard — Robots playing chess

Listening opened up the images

Wanting to make a music video doesn't mean I already have the whole thing pictured in my head. This piece didn't begin with a fixed visual idea, either.

But listening to the song gradually brought images to mind: a scene like this might fit here. Discovering that music could help me imagine the visuals was part of the fun.
