Synthwave Visionary Perturbator and Animator Victorien Aubineau Unveil 'Age of Aquarius' with Profound Anime Inspirations

French synthwave artist Perturbator has released his latest album, 'Age of Aquarius'. This album includes the single 'Lady Moon', which features vocals by Greta Link. The music video for 'Lady Moon' was directed and animated by French artist Victorien Aubineau.

Aubineau's visual work for the video incorporates futuristic and cyberpunk aesthetics, drawing inspiration from established anime visual styles. This collaboration aims to create an immersive experience that transports viewers into a dystopian future.

In a recent interview, Perturbator and Aubineau discussed the creative process behind 'Lady Moon'. They highlighted the influence of iconic anime films, specifically Katsuhiro Otomo's 'Akira' and Masamune Shirow's 'Ghost in the Shell'. These films are recognized for their narratives, world-building, and philosophical themes, which have impacted various artists.

The interview detailed how these anime classics served as a foundational source of inspiration for their current project, shaping both the thematic and visual elements of their work.

'Age of Aquarius' represents a development in Perturbator's musical style. The album explores themes such as individualism, societal conflict, and the forces that influence human existence. Each track is designed to contribute to a narrative through sound.

Aubineau's visuals for 'Lady Moon' complement the album's themes by translating them into an immersive experience. His animation reflects the dystopian grandeur, cyberpunk elements, and introspective atmospheres found in the anime classics that served as their primary inspirations, demonstrating the impact of cross-medium collaboration.
