I’ve examine how Kraftwerk needed to take away the entire humanity from their music, however Eno usually spoke about eager to make synthesized music that felt distinctly human. As a lot as Kraftwerk is a sonically foundational affect, with this document I leaned way more in direction of the Eno college of thought. On this period shortly being outlined by the rise of AI supplanting human creators I’m focusing extra on the human situation, and I would like the underlying music to assist that… As an alternative of hopelessness, I wish to depart the listener with a sense of us actually seeing each other, that our particular person struggles can really unite us in empathy.”
