It's just one of those days!
It’s been one of those weeks where everything happens at once. We had to go in Corridor Digital LA studio to reply to their video about us, and at the same time we finished a tool we’ve been quietly building for other bands. Both are live now, so let’s get into it!
We invited ourselves to Corridor Digital’s studio
A week ago, the guys at Corridor Crew used some of our music and visuals in one of their videos, presenting it in a way that makes it seem that Pink Paradox is the kind of project where you type a prompt and everything just appears: songs, images, videos, content, and everything else.
We get why it can look that way from the outside, but that isn’t how we want to conduct our artistic and creative endeavor, and we wanted to explain everything clearly. So we invited ourselves into Corridor Crew’s studio in Los Angeles. The video is up now on our YouTube channel, and you can watch it below.
In the video we walk through our actual process and unveil everything. From how every track starts with us writing the lyrics and the core melodies from our own experiences and the things we need to get out, to how we bring those ideas into generative tools to push the sound further, testing textures and arrangements.
Watch the video to learn how we use AI as a tool, while the intention, emotion and the final decisions are always coming from us. No drama! Just our usual Pink Paradox work, explained out loud now!
Watch the original Corridor Crew video below to understand why we needed to make a reply.
Pink Paradox Music Visualizer maker app is out
Today we released a free tool for any music artist or band that needs a visualizer video for a new single or album. It’s called Pink Paradox Music Visualizer, and it does exactly what the name says!
You drop your track in, add the cover, pick the aspect ratio you need (portrait, square or landscape), trim the part of the song you want, then start building your visualizer. There are audio reactive visualizers, a pile of fonts, effects that actually move with the music (flames, particles, glitch, bloom, kaleidoscope, film grades), beat-reactive animations you can put on any element from the cover to the texts, and clean intro and outro transitions. When it looks right, you export a real MP4 with sound, up to 4K quality.
Everything runs on your own device in local, so your file remain secure on your machine. There’s no need to create an account, no render credits limits, no queue, no upload of your song or cover to someone else’s server. It works in the browser, and there are Windows and Android apps if you prefer. Once it’s loaded it even works offline!
We built it because we know how often you just need a solid visualizer to go with a new release and most of the existing options either lock the export or make the whole process more complicated than it should be. This one is free! Go make cool promo videos for your tracks with it, and tag us when you post them so we can see the result!
Grab the Pink Paradox Music Visualizer app from our itch page from the button below or this link.
Bad Taste player got an update
We’ve also updated our Pink Paradox Bad Taste retro music player! You can now upload your own tracks to it, and listen to them while watching the music visualizers on your favorite retro player skin. And you can even do so from the whole new Windows and Android apps available from the button below or this link.
That’s our week! A free tool for anyone who needs promo visuals, and an open conversation about how we actually make what we make. As always keep headbanging with us! A new single announcement coming soon!
