I've heard this a million times and had countless arguments with people over it. I have pretty much stopped arguing now, and I just put that energy into learning all the new tools that come out almost every day now. If you start using synthography as a staple to your workflow, you are going to hear this too. What is YOUR response to people who are critical of synthography? I'd love to hear what people have in mind for their arguments against AI criticism, as if you go out into the market and position yourself as a user of synthographic methods, people will give you stick for it. Also, if you would like to just go ham and tell me that i'm an evil person for using AI and I should be cooked at the stake, drawn and quartered etc, that's fine, i'll welcome that too! I've heard it all. Let's hear a few responses and then ill post my take on it.

G'day! I'm Luke Burton, founder of The Lost Futures, and welcome to my Skool page. I am an artist, composer, filmmaker and director/producer with 25 years experience in cross discipline. In my 'corpo' life, I have worked directly with Google, Kathmandu, Suntory, Nat Geo, Lonely Planet, World Nomads and many others across countless campaigns. In my 'underground' life I have been an artist and performer for many years and have done shows at Dark Mofo festival and countless shows across Australia. I currently do work with Awesome Soundwave, the live techno label owned by Carl Cox and Christopher Coe. The Lost Futures is my current, on-going art/film/music project but I am also using it as a vehicle to help educate, inspire and lead by example by showing my processes across all disciplines in real time. ---- Here, we’re diving into the deep end of creative chaos, from the wild techy stuff to the raw, real principles that keep it all grounded. Here’s what I’ll be serving up and a little about me: 🎨 Synthographic art My workflows and how to craft my signature Cyberdelic Hyperloops. Right now I reckon AI and its employment is some of the craziest shit you can imagine. It's controversial, everyone has an opinion, but I know one thing is for sure. There's no way I could make any of the work I do right now *without* AI. The process of psychologically interfacing with the machine system is part of the art in my view, and ill be going into great detail on this topic, and most importantly, show you how I make it all. 🎶 Sound wizardry Composition, synthesis, sound design, and all the sonic insanity you could imagine. Here I will be doing all kinds of breakdowns across the compositional processs - I am largely electronic but a lot of the principles apply to any genre. From gear tutorials to synthesis insights through to developing music language and the importance of building a musical pallete to draw from. 🎬 Editing & filmmaking Especially doco-making because real stories hit different.
