This is System Sleep. 🎸 Made with Seedance 2.0 and Kling 3.0. But making this actually started almost 20 years ago

😂

Before making the video, I had to make the song. I played in bands for about 10 years. This song was originally written in 2007 by me, Elias Tannous, Jason D’Amelio, and Josh Jaffe. We played it live twice. We never recorded it professionally.

All that existed was an old practice recording. I used that recording as input and rebuilt the song using AI. I did this with nine other songs that I wrote and performed solo from back then too.

Next, I created the band. The members of System Sleep consist of four distinct personalities, each one playing an instrument and singing. I used AI to audition each member as the vocalist across all ten tracks. The result: a 10-song album dropping on Spotify.

Then came the music video. I was given early access to Seedance 2.0 and Kling 3.0, and the leap forward honestly shocked me. For the first time in my 4 years of AI video, I had a new problem... too many good shots to choose from. The jump in prompt adherence, fidelity, physics — and the ability to direct sequences instead of just shots — genuinely blew me away.

For me, this technology didn’t limit my creativity. It unlocked it. I played in bands. I wrote the music. But life moves on, bands break up. This song was written and performed, but never shared — until now.✌️

This is fuego. Love the song. Gonna need that wav file!

Damn, I think this is my new favourite AI music video

Until Taylor Swift comes out with an AI video, right Dale?

Yeah, obviously dropping you for the queen as soon as it comes out

Expected and accepted 👍

Man this clip is very intense and powerful ! The music, the song, everyting pairs beautifully with the visuals you've created. So nice to be able to take some old projects that were patiently waiting to get dusted off. We all have these sleeping into drawers. AI liberates them.

@STranquillin Thanks Stéphane! Exactly right… this tech can bring new life to old ideas. I’ve just begun going through my archives. No idea is dead and buried anymore!

Exactly ! I'm doing the same. Everything I couldn't do because of time or budget constraints are getting revised and they may have a second chance.

Love the background story behind it and cool to see you bring the song to life like this. Feelin some Linkin Park vibes.

@DeadSunStudios Thanks! Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory was definitely in the rotation back in the day 🤘

Dude, this is amazing. Would really love to see more stuff like this from you (even if it’s not the most viral content). Bravo 👏🏽

Thank you bro! I’ve got 3 more music videos written for the other tracks so far. Will try to keep ‘em coming!

Bad ass and epic! I have a similar story idea but its a detective finding a dead angel being killed by a “demon” serial killer. Great shots man! Did you try uploading the drum stems to Seedance? I hear that works well and the drums are on time

Thanks man! Sounds like a dope idea. I uploaded audio but didn’t isolate the stems. Will try that next time. Drums are like the next “will smith eating spaghetti” test for AI lol

Hit’s hard brother 🤘

Cheers Ryan! 🤘

The video, it is simply mind-blowing!

Thank you so much Alexandra!

This is what I'm here for, People bringing their ideas to life. Amazing work mate Bravo mate! Rock on! 🤘😎

Thank u Cap! Yeah now with this tech you never have to give up on an idea, just evolve it until it feels right!

Love the video and the song, It brings me back to "a perfect circle" era

Thank you! Can’t go wrong with Maynard 🤘

great job dude! Which music platform did u use to rebuild the OG song? Suno?

Thanks Marco! Yeah Suno, last Thanksgiving before their merge with Warner

I love Suno

It’s some of the most fun I’ve had with AI. Truly incredible

ya I recorded a module on it a few weeks back - there is a lot to it! some cool advanced features too!

Suno studio is great too!

So so 🔥

The story and visuals are timed so well. I can feel the emotions that went into this.

I’m happy to hear that it came across for you. Appreciate you letting me know!

20 years of creative vision finally meeting the tools that can execute it. that context and artistic judgment is what separates this from random ai clips

Thank you, yeah the idea evolved with the tech, u never know when it’s going to happen!

What’s interesting is I could tell the song wasn’t written by AI because it’s too good, very real. I’m glad it’s seeing its full potential with AI. My daughter is a digital artist (she’s out in the car editing music right now 🤣) I sent her your video. Well done

Appreciate it! Cool that your daughter is into it now, it's still early and she'll be ahead of others in the future!

@asifbe4live Gj 👍

@asifbe4live Thanks!

Well, great graphics, but we still need good storytellers.

100%

Brilliant work it’s a perfect reminder of the unseen world at war around us! Will We chose Light or Darkness?

WOW! Congratulations, I can see how much work goes into it. You are an inspiration to us.

Thank you, glad you like it and I appreciate the comment!

Love it, except for the part where he casually kills innocent people as he stupidly walks across the street. The band mix in is great.

They were all empty self-driving cars 😂

🤣

I watched til the end. Good job. But I didn't quite get the celestial beings scene -- who were they? Also the last scene, where he is walking towards the woman. Was that woman the same angel from before?

Appreciate you watching to the end! Was meant to be him getting a glimpse into the spirit world when he plugs into her, then she passes her energy to him. Yes the woman is meant to be the fallen angel, now in human form and he won't be stopped by anything until he reconnects with her

I thought so. Thanks for getting back to me — I really appreciate it. The best part for me was your personal story: how you formed the band, wrote the song, and created the music video. Stories like that truly motivate me to keep building tools for creators.💪

🤘

🤘🎸

Dang! This honking rocks! The visuals.. 💥

Thanks tom! 🤘🤘🤘

I gotta shout out the fact that you took the time to line up every snare and cymbal hit. I know...it's such a curse. Brilliant work though! Love this!

Thanks Tim! Next time I’ll focus on the guitar playing. I got some comments about the strumming being off and honestly, I didn’t pay attention to it when making it. Guitarists get enough attention, was focusing on the drums lol

The song is amazingly strong, and your use of AI to build it here is well done. Like any artist going back to forever, you are using the tools at hand to realize your vision. I look forward to seeing more by you.

Thank you! That’s exactly it, no idea is dead and buried. It can evolve into something new with this tech ✌️

Wow, I’m speechless, this is amazing work wow 😮

thank you Lacey!

Incredible work! The live band shots feel so real. Really beautifully edited too.

Thank you very appreciated! Amazing what we can do with the tech but the editing was still the old fashioned way, which is something I enjoy, not looking to have AI replace that yet!

This is incredible! Great shot!

Thank u!

Ive been working on a music video in few places but this looks amazing, I def need to start using seedance 2.0.

thanks man, good luck with your video!

This is amazingly great!!! Would pay to watch a full movie 🤗

Ahh appreciate it, thanks!

Wow 👏

Wow
