The band recently announced their highly anticipated 16th studio album: Danse Macabre. Watch the official music video for Danse Macabre’ HERE. The video’s creative director, Linc Gasking adds, “We are at the beginning of a new medium of storytelling, with a camera directly into the imagination.”

Over a period of a few days we created a whole new universe populated with beautifully strange inhabitants to celebrate the release of Danse Macabre, with a gothic dream.” It was something that would have previously taken a team months in an animation studio, but it was all happening almost instantly in front of our eyes. I was truly astonished when I first started to see the results. We began by deciding who would be on the ultimate Halloween party guest list, then a selection of witches, mythical beasts, vampires and demons were rapidly developed, using the latest AI animation techniques. Speaking about the video, keyboardist Nick Rhodes reveals, “I like the idea that if you can imagine something you can make it come to life, well at least in animated form… With the Danse Macabre video we did exactly that. The culmination is a 3D animated masterpiece that, in previous times, would have demanded an entire team, over a year and a substantial budget to produce. Duran Duran have revealed the official music video for their latest track and album namesake Danse Macabre. With creative director Linc Gasking at the helm, this stunning new clip showcases cutting-edge, AI-driven techniques, some of which were only launched as recently as last weekend.
