🎶 Synesthesia
Transforming Music Into Visual Storytelling Through AI
“What if your song could see?”
Synesthesia is an open creative system designed to do just that — transforming audio into frame-synced, AI-generated music videos using language, imagery, and rhythm as its canvas.
🌌 The Vision
The music industry has long relied on video to amplify emotion, theme, and connection. But video production is expensive, time-consuming, and often disconnected from the song’s true spirit.
Synesthesia challenges that — building a pipeline where a simple audio file can generate a complete visual experience automatically. It listens. It transcribes. It analyzes. And then, it paints.
🧠 How It Works
- WhisperX Transcription: The audio is transcribed with word-level precision, detecting both lyrics and instrumental gaps.
- Prompt Generation: Each lyric and segment is converted into a vivid, story-aware text prompt. Biblical themes, emotions, and characters are injected intelligently based on the track’s content.
- Image Generation: Prompts are passed to a Stable Diffusion pipeline via ComfyUI, producing high-resolution scenes.
- Video Assembly: Images are interpolated (via Flowframes), timed to the beat, and synchronized with the original music using FFmpeg.
The result? A fully generated music video — accurate to the beat, the tone, and the message.
💡 Why It Matters
This project was born from necessity: the need to tell spiritual, meaningful stories through modern audio and visual mediums without the budget of a studio. Whether you’re an independent artist, a worship leader, a lyricist, or a producer — Synesthesia opens the door.
It’s not just a generator. It’s a translator — turning song into scene.
🔧 Tech Stack
- 🗣️ WhisperX (word-level transcription & alignment)
- 🎨 ComfyUI + SDXL / SD 1.5 (image generation)
- 🎬 FFmpeg (audio + video syncing)
- 📁 Flowframes (frame interpolation)
- 💻 Flask + Tkinter GUIs (cross-platform)
- ☁️ Lambda Cloud + local GPU support
🚧 Status
Synesthesia is actively in development and already powers multiple AI-generated music videos under the Electric Christian brand on YouTube.
A full GUI release is in progress for both local and cloud execution. We’re building toward one-click MP3-to-video pipelines that anyone can use.
