LEGACY OF GILGAMESH

Legacy of Gilgamesh is an original music-driven epic, blending film and AI to reimagine the world’s oldest story for a new era—where myth, sound, and vision converge into a new ritual of storytelling.

How I built it

It all began with one “failed” track — music I wrote for a fake MMORPG. That piece became the seed of a 7-track album inspired by the Epic of Gilgamesh.
I composed original music for each of the Seven Deadly Sins, then expanded it into a film where music drives the story.
To bring it alive I used:

  • AI visuals: MidJourney, Freepik (unlimited generations), Mystic, Seedance, Google tools.
  • Voices: ElevenLabs v3 (down to breaths, sighs, even yawns), animated with HeyGen.
  • Enhancement: Enhancor for face textures, Bloom for realism.
    The result grew into a hybrid of concert music, narration, and AI-driven film woven together.

Challenges I ran into

  • Keeping character consistency across hundreds of AI-generated frames.
  • Financing an almost hour-long film without a studio budget.
  • Balancing music, visuals, and narration so none overshadowed the others.
  • Rethinking Humbaba: from raging monster into a broken, grandfatherly voice split with his Eternal side.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

  • Turning a scam into a new kind of epic.
  • Writing a 7-track original score that doesn’t just accompany but drives the narrative.
  • Building a visual-audio work where myth, music, and AI converge.
  • Recasting Humbaba, the first monster in literature, as a narrator reflecting our own flaws.

What I learned

  • AI is not a gimmick but a tool that can extend artistic language.
  • Limits (budget, resolution, time) can spark creativity.
  • Ancient myths still resonate when re-imagined with modern tools.
  • Blending sound, word, and image creates impact greater than any single medium.

What's next for LEGACY OF GILGAMESH

I plan to:

  • Release the film and album publicly.
  • Develop an interactive audiobook / e-book with layered narration for education and art.
  • Bring the work to festivals and live performances, where music and visuals intertwine.
  • Keep exploring how AI can be an artistic partner — not replacing but amplifying human creativity.
