I am not a fan of direct and unambiguous images. And in music they have no place at all — not a single musical message imitates exactly the sound of the phenomenon that it reveals. And if it comes to something that in the usual sense for us does not sound at all, then a special approach is required — both in music and in the accompanying video, if any.
For the composition «Starry Depth» video accompaniment has long been requested and required. But what it to make from? — to collect a bunch of photos of the Edwin Hubble Space Telescope again? — this has happened many times already. I had to turn to the Midjourney neural network for unique material. And the neural network willingly shared its vision.

This is how — just 10 months after the release of «Delphinus» album — a video was formed for one of his melodies, which could not have been created at the time of the album's release (in any case, I was far from these technologies then, and neural networks, of course, already existed).
The music itself has its origins even earlier. This probably needs to be reminded (I once wrote, but not everyone read it, but someone may have already forgotten). One winter — more snowier and windier than this winter — I was returning home from the center of Moscow by running through a heavy snowstorm — at night, as usual. The sidewalks were covered up to the knee, the wind was in my face, my eyes were clogged with snow, and I could hardly see the way. Stiff, exhausted, got barely alive, but when I got home, the first thing I did was turn on the synthesizer and play a new Melody — she overtook me in that blizzard. I did not know then for which album, but later she herself asked for an album about Delphinus constellation.
If someone hasn't heard this album yet, listen to it in its entirety — it's worth it.
