Following the Pole Star

After Heraklit*, this is the second soundscape made with a polyend tracker - a device  I like to refer to as a digital punchcard machine. The reasons for this naming choice are obvious to anyone old enough to remember actual punchcards. 

this upload also is an experiment in having an accompanying video - shot in a jittery, glitchy, seemingly careless, nouvelle-vague digital-punk-70s style: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIgBYsTstBs/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

RELATIVE SUN

translating torsos, gestures and forces
timid embraces of cultural icons
mind's urban slacklines span fixes and fines
surgical lasers, mosses and lichen
kneel at the sabretooth altar - move on, never falter
don't feed from the baiters - don't give up trying

Now, dear soundcloud, do tell me why this cannot be recommended?

🇬🇧 Developing presets, programming sequences, working on sounds at startup and reworking them during mixing, all without samples or artificial intelligence, for a result full of respect for the listener, to whom I devote myself body and soul to create a unique human work...
Artificial intelligence will never be able to compete, it is completely incapable of doing so. I will always be above what it can tinker with with its billions of bits heated to 100 degrees...
All sectors of activity are already impacted. We must move with the times, of course, because progress generates very interesting and enriching things, but artificial intelligence is not one of them, and it will soon be far more dangerous for humanity than an atomic bomb. Be aware of this and be careful!


🇫🇷 Développer des presets, programmer des séquences, travailler sur les sons au démarrage et les retravailler au mixage, le tout sans samples ni intelligence artificielle, pour un résultat empreint de respect pour l'auditeur, à qui je me consacre corps et âme pour créer une œuvre humaine unique…
L'intelligence artificielle ne pourra jamais rivaliser, elle en est totalement incapable. Je serai toujours au-dessus de ce qu'elle peut manipuler avec ses milliards de bits chauffés à 100 degrés…
Tous les secteurs d'activité sont déjà impactés. Il faut bien sûr évoluer avec son temps, car le progrès génère des choses très intéressantes et enrichissantes, mais l'intelligence artificielle n'en fait pas partie, et elle sera bientôt bien plus dangereuse pour l'humanité qu'une bombe atomique. Soyez-en conscients et soyez prudents !
