SONG: Intruder FROM Peter Gabriel 3

Video info

I wanted this music video to look like an '80s video, but shot today. I drew inspiration from the lyrics and the overall atmosphere of the song Intruder, but I also sprinkled in several references. These include nods to the character of Norman Bates, as Psycho was an inspiration for Peter when he wrote this track, as well as references to the promotional photos surrounding the release of his third album in 1980, and to other music videos by Peter. There are also a few other subtle details that serve as Easter eggs for fans.

No images generated by artificial intelligence were used in this one.

Song info:

Intruder is a track taken from Peter Gabriel's third solo album, released in May 1980.

Words and music by Peter Gabriel. Produced by Steve Lillywhite.

‘There was a drum sound that Hugh Padgham had experimented with, using SSL gates, on the XTC record that I was very excited about. There was this huge resonant sound that would be trapped down in sort of square shapes and then flattened into nothing. It was a very big and aggressive sound. So I then thought I’d build a track around it, which was the track Intruder. Phil Collins who I got in for that, then went on to take Hugh and work on his own record using a lot of those sounds, but there was a real sense of discovery when that first arrived.’ - pg

SONG: SledgehammerFROM: So

Video info:

This re-imagination of 'Sledgehammer' was created almost entirely in MicrodoseVR, a custom software for Unreal Engine created by Android Jones, Anson Phong, and Scott Headstrom. AI was used to create custom 3D models from original video footage, reimagining updated versions of characters and scenes from the original video. I was able to develop a new workflow with this video - using ai renders to upgrade and embellish the quality of the characters in static imagery first, and then using image-to-3D AI to create 3D models. Performances with the software were curated and edited to create the music video format.

Song info:

Sledgehammer is a track taken from Peter Gabriel's album So, released in May 1986.

Words and music by Peter Gabriel. Produced by Daniel Lanois and Peter Gabriel.

‘Sledgehammer’ was obviously a big track from that record and that was, in part, homage to the music that I grew up with. I loved soul music, blues music and that was a chance to work with some of the brass players that had worked with Otis Redding, who’s my all time favourite singer. It was a fun thing to do, but again that was built around a great groove and a good feel.

SONG: Secret World FROM Us

Video info:

Secret World has been with me for 33 years, ever since I first heard it on Us, my favourite Peter Gabriel album. The song has always held deep meaning for me, exploring the distance between who we are, what we hide, what we share, and what we lose. I’ve always been drawn to the emotional gravity of Peter’s music and have always loved the cinematic textures he creates with producer Daniel Lanois, whose work I also deeply admire.

With this project, I wanted to imagine an entire secret history behind the Secret World—a hidden mythology—and use that as a metaphor for our own personal journeys through life, love, and relationships. I built the visuals using photos from my archive, layering and animating them with tools like Photoshop, Midjourney, and Luma AI Dream Machine to create a dreamlike, immersive experience. This piece is both a tribute to the song and a reflection of what it’s meant to me over decades of listening.

Secret World is a track taken from Peter Gabriel's album Us, released in September 1992.
