Welcome to The Lost Futures
G'day! I'm Luke Burton, founder of The Lost Futures, and welcome to my Skool page. I am an artist, composer, filmmaker and director/producer with 25 years experience in cross discipline. In my 'corpo' life, I have worked directly with Google, Kathmandu, Nat Geo, Lonely Planet, World Nomads and many others across countless campaigns. In my 'underground' life I have been an artist and performer for many years and have done shows at Dark Mofo festival and countless shows across Australia. I worked with Awesome Soundwave for a number of years, the live techno label owned by Carl Cox and Christopher Coe. The Lost Futures is my current, on-going art/film/music project but I am also using it as a vehicle to help educate, inspire and lead by example by showing my processes across all disciplines in real time. ---- Here, we’re diving into the deep end of creative chaos, from the wild techy stuff to the raw, real principles that keep it all grounded. Here’s what I’ll be serving up and a little about me: 🎨 Synthographic art My workflows and how to craft my signature Cyberdelic Hyperloops. Right now I reckon AI and its employment is some of the craziest shit you can imagine. It's controversial, everyone has an opinion, but I know one thing is for sure. There's no way I could make any of the work I do right now *without* AI. The process of psychologically interfacing with the machine system is part of the art in my view, and ill be going into great detail on this topic, and most importantly, show you how I make it all. 🎶 Sound wizardry Composition, synthesis, sound design, and all the sonic insanity you could imagine. Here I will be doing all kinds of breakdowns across the compositional processs - I am largely electronic but a lot of the principles apply to any genre. From gear tutorials to synthesis insights through to developing music language and the importance of building a musical pallete to draw from. 🎬 Editing & filmmaking Especially doco-making because real stories hit different.
