ABOUT MAASTOWN

Digital Soul Cinema from Rotterdam

Maastown: Digital Soul Cinema

Maastown is a digital soul project that reimagines the emotional heartbeat of Rotterdam through AI. Music is shaped with Suno, video with Sora, but the core remains human — rooted in the city, fed by its rhythm, its sharp edges, and its softer moments.

Rotterdam lives in contrasts: a futuristic skyline beside the scars of 1940, a harbour that never sleeps beside neighbourhoods where the night unfolds slowly, raw clubs beside quiet quays. Maastown captures all of it in sound and image. Not a reconstruction, but a reinterpretation: the city as data, memory, humanity, and noise intertwined.

The Ghost in the Machine

Maastown explores the boundary between human creativity and artificial intelligence. Our tracks are composed with AI music tools, but the stories, emotions, and vision remain human at their core.

AI will shape an increasing part of our lives — in music, video, imagery, and poetry. Our culture will inevitably shift with it. Through this digital project, Maastown aims to show what a collaboration between humans and machines can look like: not as replacement, but as a new form of shared creation.

"Code stretches the world; emotion gives it direction."

The City as a Canvas

Rotterdam in 2025 is our canvas — fast, restless, and always becoming something new. Skyscrapers beside old scars, trams cutting through rainlight, neighbourhoods that shift in mood from hour to hour. A city that keeps moving, even when you stand still.

Maastown honours Rotterdam through its AI-imagined twin: a version of the city that is slightly distorted, sometimes flawed, always alive. The beauty and the rough patches, the fleeting nights and the raw edges — they all belong here.

In Maastown, Rotterdam is not recreated but reinterpreted — a digital echo of a city that refuses to slow down.

What's Coming

Maastown is a growing project. New tracks, new stories, new ways to explore the city. Follow us on YouTube for the latest releases.

We invite you to journey through the digital soul of Rotterdam. Let yourself be carried by the echoes, dance in the night, and discover what it means to be human in an increasingly digital world.
