Welcome to 2026: We don't just generate music, we build the apps for it. 🎹🚀
The era of the "static audio file" is over.
In 2026, music isn't just something you hear, it’s an environment you inhabit.
I’ve been testing the new "Spaces" feature in Producer AI, and it’s a glimpse into the future of creative production.
We aren’t just prompting for a beat anymore; we are "vibe coding" entire interactive applications to visualize and experience the music in real-time.
I just used it to create a reactive 3D visualizer that shifts its entire geometry based on the frequencies of my song. The music and the software are now one and the same.
The boundary between "Musician" and "Creative Developer" is officially gone.
A custom-coded 3D world built in seconds, reacting to my latest AI-generated track.
This is how we create now. 🌌
@Ben Huffman anyway we can add a tool - Producer AI here? I can't find a place to include this tool. Thank you!
The shift from static audio to immersive environments is such an exciting frontier for 2026. This 'Spaces' feature looks like a total game-changer for how we’ll experience music production—it really makes the digital space feel alive! 😊
Amazing!

This was a case study I developed for my students during my AI image course at Helsinki Summer University.
Together we explored how an editorial visual language can continue consistently from image to image and further into moving image within AI-based visual production. The focus was not the technology itself, but authorship — how AI can be used consciously as part of a creative process.
For me, AI is not about generating images, but about how visual worlds are directed, shaped and continued by the maker.
Alongside my artistic work, I now offer trainings as well as commissioned visual and animation projects for clients working with AI in their visual production.

Designers, we can finally move past building sections and layouts. Threejs is getting easier to make, and we can focus on becoming creative directors.
Using ThreeJS & AI & PeachWeb Builder. I made 3 visual remixes in 1 hour. Just focusing on the brand identity and creative direction. Does that sound like fun?
amazing work done 🔥.
Craft Remains!
At our studio, we enjoy incorporating AI tools to improve our process, but we still have a strong love for the craft and the human aspect behind it.
Here’s a reel of some illustration processes created by our team, DSpot, over the last year.
Is there an illustration process you’d like to share?
We’d love to see it and provide feedback and tips!
Amazing process and reel!
