In the Jungle Trance project, the hypnotic rhythms of Thomas Starr’s jungle music were enhanced through a series of mystical visuals inspired by the Amazon rainforest. Dreamlike landscapes were brought to life, capturing the magic of nature and the depth of shamanistic rituals.
The visuals create an immersive experience where light and shadow dance in harmony with the music’s flow. A teaser video was also produced, offering a glimpse into this ethereal world and drawing viewers deeper into the trance-like atmosphere of the project.
A beautiful story & inspiration
Jungle Trance is a visual and auditory journey into the magic of jungle music infused with a progressive trance-like feel. The visual component of the project was created to amplify the energy of the music, supporting DJ Thomas Starr’s one-hour vinyl mix. Developed for an online release and potential live performances, this project blends analog sounds with the ethereal touch of visual artistry.
Thomas Starr’s mix skillfully weaves together a hypnotic blend of atmospheric jungle beats and trance rhythms, merging the old school with the new. His ability to create a deep, immersive soundscape sets the perfect stage for the visuals, enhancing the listener’s journey through the ritualistic depths of the jungle.
A video preview
It was created as part of the project, designed to introduce and immerse the audience in the magical atmosphere of Jungle Trance. This teaser was inspired by the vibrant energy of the music and served as a visual representation of the creative process. The fantastical beauty of the jungle is captured, playing with light and shadow to portray how nature breathes and lives within this imaginative world. The preview acts as a bridge between the music and the full video, giving viewers a glimpse of the transcendent experience that awaits.

The Creative Journey Behind Jungle Trance
The process of crafting the visuals for Jungle Trance was deeply influenced by the hypnotic energy of Thomas Starr’s music and the evocative writings of Terence McKenna, describing his adventures in the Amazon jungle. The creation began by generating foundational images in Midjourney, where a vivid and dreamlike jungle landscape was envisioned. These static images were then brought to life through animation in Runway, allowing the jungle’s magic to unfold and transform. The process continued with careful color correction and video editing in CapCut, where the natural hues and shifting lights of the jungle were enhanced to mirror the music’s transcendent rhythm.
Throughout the process, an immersive experience was crafted, one that invites the viewer into a world of shamanism, magic, and light, drawing them closer to the essence of the jungle. The teaser video offers a preview of this vision, capturing fleeting moments of the jungle's dreamlike beauty, where light and shadow dance, echoing the mystical soundscape of the mix.
