Topple – A Synthwave Instrumental

In the future, humanity addresses widespread sterility by mass-producing clones from a few genetic templates. These clones wear identical clothing and carry matching cell phones that connect them to their respective hive minds. Each genetic line shares a collective consciousness through the network enabling them to complete complex tasks.
The clones excel at routine office work such as data entry, spreadsheets, and customer service. Their only weakness is their dependence on constant network connectivity, which keeps their DNA stabilized.
Suddenly a solar flare causes a massive telecommunications outage, collapsing the network... Now the clone’s code destabilizes, and they begin toppling over spontaneously. The corporate infrastructure grinds to a halt as no one is left to process the paperwork or answer customer calls. The stock market falls and normal humans living an easy life have to return to office drone jobs. For many it is too much as their brains have shrunk without having to do any work or thinking on their own, they end up lasting a week.
The only survivors are isolated communities living traditional lives deep in the jungle. They remain completely unaware of the clone cities or the civilization that has just collapsed around them.
Video was created in tyflow, 3ds max and vray then edited in After Effects. Music was created in MPC 2 with my Akai MPK Mini 3 using various vsts like Arturia Pigments, Air Sub Factory and many others. That’s all for now and beware becoming a clone on a cellphone network.
