About
Hydra's Last Head is a metamodernist music and visual art world-building project by Toronto-based digital artist Shane Ray Walker.
Hydra's Last Head conjures rare, complex, often surreal, psychedelic, and alien musical and visual art forms using a range of technologies and techniques.
The music of Hydra's Last Head combines experimental forms, synthesizing post-industrial, IDM, progressive metal, post-rock, and classical, using virtual instruments, field recordings, analog emulations, and experimental composition techniques such as improvisation, automatic writing, altered states of consciousness to create otherworldly sonic soundscapes of beauty and terror.
Check out the full psychedelic visual album and poetry here. The visual album is a raw experimental prototype and also serves as a surreal introduction to the Fractalcore mythos.
The visual art forms are created from a photo, hand-drawn or txt2img prompts, and public domain classic art then further processed with A.I neural networks style transfer algorithms to render a range of different aesthetics, both brand new and from across art history and then synthesized into unique aesthetic alchemies using composite image editing for complex patterns, textures, and colour composition.
