"Synthetics"

Created by by Yuko Rade

Developed over five months of animation, Synthetics by Yuko Rade is this week’s Music Video of the Week at the Berlin Music Video Awards. Built from a deeply personal concept, the project merges music, storytelling and handcrafted visual language into a carefully structured symbolic journey where atmosphere and narrative evolve in parallel.

Created by Yuko Rade @yukorade in collaboration with animation studio Soulproprietor soulproprietor.studio, the video began with the song’s lyrical themes before evolving into a fully developed storyboard. Through detailed discussions, shared influences and a strong alignment in visual storytelling, the three-person creative team translated concept into a cohesive animated world.

Lyrics and vocals by Kayrae @kayraelien anchor the emotional tone of the piece, guiding the narrative arc while leaving space for interpretation.

Rather than centering around a single defining image, Synthetics unfolds as a complete journey from beginning to end. Each scene was crafted with precision and care, forming a unified visual experience that invites the viewer to interpret its meaning for themselves.
