HALF-ALIVE - A Halloween Ghost Story from City 53

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

One more AI horror below.

"Welcome to City 53, where humanity lives under a mysterious occupation, artificial intelligence speaks with a reassuring voice, and resistance survives in the most unexpected places.

HAL 9000 meets GLaDOS meets a dystopian Vienna (City 53). And somewhere in the alleys, The Free Man still has his crowbar.

HALF-ALIVE is an experimental AI-generated Halloween film, inspired by the Half-Life universe, classic science fiction and the increasingly blurred boundaries between human creativity and artificial intelligence. It's also a story about power, control and responsibility. Machines may execute the instructions, but humans decide what they're built to do.

The visuals were created using generative AI, animated and assembled into a cinematic world, with original sound design, music and my trusted modular synthesizers. It took me two full weeks to co-create the designs which is like one giant puzzle of images, image-to-video attempts, trying to maintain some kind of continuity, keeping faithful to the Half-Life canon while adding my own 'blood in the paint', sound design, dialogs, etc.

I can't even remember how it started, I wasn't even playing Half-Life. I think I wanted to make a dystopian city for some halloween project and make scary music for it. Then I wanted a city with classical elements like Paris. I chose Vienna. It reminded me of City 17. I remember taking a doomscroll, wondering if people who lost their jobs because of AI were making videos and sharing their real life stories. Some were heartbreaking. So it wasn't a small leap from a dystopian future to real life. But then I found different perspectives on companies re-hiring real people to clean up the technical debt left by unmanaged AI coding. It felt like a 'resistance' rising from the ashes of AI slop. The whole Ghost in the Machine story was made today, October 31st, 2026. So yeah, you can do a lot of work with some help from the Machine Ghost. But a prompt doesn't magically make a story. I defined the premise of creators trying to make an AI more human by giving it mortality, fear, pain, love, regrets and a moral conscience. At Halloween, these stories never end well.

This is a tribute to Valve, Half-Life and the wonderfully unsettling ghosts in the machines of science fiction. It's an independent, unofficial fan film / music video. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Valve. The IBM logo is used because - if you know your classics - the HAL 9000 super intelligence from the 1960's sci-fi classic 2001, A Apace Odyssee is one character away from turning H.A.L. into I.B.M. In the classic movie, HAL turned against us. In this Halloween Ghost Story, the intelligence was shoved into selfpreservation - similar to testing on animals.

ALL'SWELL | Artificial Intellijel SWELLS | Episode 01

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I am not sure how long I had Intellijel Swells lying around. As you may know I am a reverb addict, and I didn't have to think twice to order Swells. But when I got it, I got discouraged by the sheer option space, the modes, the alt modes and the countless little difference of module operation between modes, the different forms of LO-FI, the different bursts, it's almost like having nine different modules in one module. So I froze. While using a bit of AI to plough through the options I got the idea of making a video where ChatGPT would guide me into making it self-oscillate, still unaware of the fact that it's not really designed to do so called 'runaway' trails of endless decay."

"Spoken word with atmospheric music. I recently rewatched American Werewolf in London [great movie!] and the moon happened to be full and bright. This all put me in the mood to read some werewolf-based poetry. For atmosphere I used my Noisferatu which I talked about in a recent video [posted here]. And some sound effects made using e-ther.

GR!MM V2.0 is out! Dark ambient firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1

video upload by GR!MM // Deathdream

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

"GR!MM V2.0 is free, open-source custom firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1 synth: it turns the FM-1 into a dark ambient, dungeon synth and drone machine with real recorded choirs, generative tracks that play by themselves, and long tape, granular and reverb effects. Happy Halloween

GR!MM V2.0 is a big update. What's new:
GENERATE: generative tracks that play by themselves (DRIFT, PULSE, STORM)
Real choirs: Gregorian monks, nuns and a cathedral choir
GLIDE on every sound
PHASE reborn: a second line, ring mod and noise
Four kinds of distortion: SOFT, FUZZ, CLIP, FOLD
A master filter over the whole mix
MIDI clock in and out, so the FM-1 syncs to your gear and DAW
A new mixer with tape and drive per track
Better tape warble effects


Most of this came from your requests. Thank you."

Prophet 5 + Alesis Vortex 2 Jam (Nerd Force)

"I needed a MIDI controller...so I picked up a Keytar. Here we have the Alesis Vortex 2 and Prophet 5, accompanied by the OB-X8 and some cheesy drums. Not exactly a Jack and the Beanstalk yarn, but close. Just having some fun jamming with it."

"Introducing the Shadow Coven — a new line of 3U Eurorack configurations built from three Nocturne Alchemy Platform modules, bound together by a custom bracket at a true 26HP with no overhang, and powered from a single bus board slot via a daisy-chain harness.

In this video I introduce the full Shadow Coven line, walk through the first two configurations — Nigredo and Mousai — and announce something special at the end for anyone who already owns a FlatSix module.

🜂 SHADOW COVEN — NIGREDO
Three Arp Of Darkness modules running in parallel. The first stage of the alchemical Great Work: the blackening. Three buffers, each with six playback modes (Golden Ratio included), three Remix cycles, three clocks that can lock together or drift apart. Feed each buffer a phrase and watch it fracture into something you didn't quite write.

🜍 SHADOW COVEN — MOUSAI
Three sisters of inspiration: Seventh Summoner, Shroud Of Turing, and Arp Of Darkness. A meta-sequencer that chains song structures. A generative shift register that evolves to custom scales you build on the fly. A buffer-based arpeggiator that transforms what you feed it. The full Nocturne Alchemy toolkit in one 3U rack.

⚭ SHADOW COVEN — INITIATE (coming soon)
For musicians who already own a FlatSix module. Two modules of your choice at a lower price than buying them individually, pre-mounted in the binding with the power harness included. The module you already own drops into the open bay, completing the Coven. The binding, harness, and assembly time are free — my thank-you for being here from the start.

If you're interested in the Initiate, comment on this video or use the contact form on flatsixmodular.com and I'll reach out to you."
