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."

Beasts

"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.

The song is 'Sprites of Earth and Air' and is played heavily on the Oberheim Four Voice Synthesizer (FVS) from 1976 with its incredible state-variable multi-mode filters, one of the first truly polyphonic synthesizers ever made. Also featured are three Moogs, a Third Wave, a D50 and a vocoder!" Polymoog in there as well.

HollowTone - Deep Ambient Worlds (iOS/Mac). Quick start

video upload by Igor Vasiliev

"HollowTone invites you into a world shaped by atmosphere rather than melody - a place where sound becomes space, motion, and quiet emotion. It’s a creative instrument for building immersive environments: drifting fog, deep internal pulses, fluid textures, digital sparks, and soft vocal warmth that feels almost human.

HollowTone is for those who enjoy creating mood rather than music - meditative spaces, dreamlike environments, darker cinematic tones, or subtle backgrounds for creative projects. It’s a quiet invitation to shape atmosphere, explore depth, and step into a sound world that feels alive.

Craig Padilla - First Light Over Aurora (Live) - MST/Division6, MatrixBrute, MPC ONE, Modx M

video upload by Craig Padilla

"Please consider donating a much appreciated monetary tip to the performer to:
PayPal.me/CraigPadillaMusic

Trick or treat! Here we go again with another live performance in the studio! This time it's inspired by the spirit of Halloween! And, once again, it's been captured on video by Colleen Padilla.

'First Light Over Aurora' was performed in front of my wife's parents. Colleen had suggested that they should be here for this recording because they hadn't personally experienced one of my live performances. Thankfully, they enjoyed it. And their energy in the room during the performance was inspiring. It's always a treat for me to be able to play my music for others in a live setting.

This song features heavy use of four synthesizers and effects:
Akai MPC ONE
Yamaha MODX M7
Synthrotek MST & Division 6 Modular with Source Audio Collider
Arturia MatrixBrute
Hologram Microcosm
TC Electronics Ditto X4

The Mattson Mini Modular and ARP 2500 Sequencer modules are here on display, but they were used for another epic track, 'The Trench Protocol'.

This song will be available on my new live album 'The Trench Protocol - Live'. It's available at www.CraigPadilla.com."
