Entry 1282 - Starfounder - Vengeance


p>Style: darksynth

Primary Emotions/Themes: simple yet highly effective melodies that touch on the dark found in the human soul as well as that resides in the machines that reflect our values as a society

Thoughts: Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we try to create things that one day may very well rise up and destroy us? Did we learn nothing from the warnings given by John and Sarah Connor? Why are we befriending the very thing that may one day seek to replace us? Why build that which may one day seek Vengeance?

Starfounder asks these questions in musical form. Vengeance is an audio essay about the dangers of artificial intelligence and how it may one day come back to bite us in the ass. It does this through the darkest of synthwave: darksynth. A collection of songs that rely more on rhythms and beats than melody, music that deals more with he visceral part of the brain rather than the more rational part. The part that would be in line with taking Vengance.

This album serves as a warning for all of those who would befriend the machine. We are playing a dangerous game, and yet it would seem like we have fully embraced our new overlords with open arms. Perhaps we are no longer fit to be the dominant species on this planet anymore.
