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.
For seven years I was the head of video for travel brand World Nomads and made about 300 travel documentaries during that time. I was also a shooter on the feature doc Mr Jimmy that made it to SXSW and countless festivals worldwide. Ive shot and cut heaps of brand story stuff too.
Ill be teaching SO many different elements of the filmmaking process, for those who want to craft their own stories and narratives. Editing is my primary focus here, and my richest skillset, but i'll go into everything across the board.
🧠 Creative philosophy
How to stay disciplined and avoid the usual traps: neurosis, GAS (gear addiction syndrome, for the uninitiated), analysis paralysis, and all the other crap that gets in the way.

The Lost Futures is where I am able to bring everything together, my storytelling, filmmaking, sound design, visual design, music and everything else - and it will allow me to make stuff for the project in real time, and then show you breakdowns of how I built it all. I want to crack open the hood of the engine and show you guys whats underneath, and inspire you to go out and make things with your own vision.
Jump in, ask questions, get stuck into the convo, and let’s make some magic together. Cheers to the ride ahead! 🚀
And feel free to introduce yourself, share some of your recent work would love to see what you are up to!
