Muse has created an interactive Flash-based lyric video for their upcoming single Panic Station, which is premiered exclusively on Wired.co.uk.


The non-interactive version was produced by Mike Isted of Liverpool-based visual effects studio Deerstalker, which has previously worked with Muse to create the band's stage visuals for their recent tour.

For the interactive version, independent London-based creative agency Yuki took Isted's work and morphed it into a 3D visualiser, using Away3D 4 and Adobe Flash.

There's also the ability to control of the camera's pan and tilt at any point by pressing their mouse down and moving around Mike Isted, Deerstalker

"Various embedded actions within the audio file were used to control the cameras position and various commands for the particles," Isted tells Wired.co.uk, "providing a nice


'sit-back-and-just-watch' experience. There's also the ability to control of the camera's pan and tilt at any point by pressing their mouse down and moving around."

You can view the non-interactive video on Muse's YouTube channel.

Panic Station, which is the fourth single from Muse's sixth studio album The 2nd Law, will be released on Helium 3 / Warner Brothers Records, 3 June. The band is also playing several live UK dates in May and June. Details can be found at Muse.mu.
