21st Century Lullaby is a song about an uncertain future.

What does it mean to bring new life into the world today?

What responsibilities are borne by we, the living?

Skyscraper Stan penned the song for his niece; the first grandchild to arrive in his nuclear family - born during a time of pandemics, wars, faltering ecology and accelerating artificial intelligence. The song was recorded live in one take - strings and all - at the Rat Shack in Collingwood, Melbourne.

The music video was generated using AI. “I was hesitant at first” says Stan about producing the clip “I think those of us who work in the arts were complacent about artificial intelligences. We thought human creativity was untouchable. Turns out we’re one of the first industries to be impacted…

“There is something poetic about an AI generated video for a song about an uncertain future”
