The Pepper Jelly and HNY samples make the majority of rhythm in this piece. The “Autista 3” sample is a little buried in the middle, where there is less percussion. 

The "lyrics" were randomly generated by WriterBot at http://writerbot.com/lyrics and synthesized at http://www.fromtexttospeech.com/  I had hopes of matching the monotone vocals to a melody of keyboard notes but that is beyond Garageband for now.

The final vocals are a synthesized Thomas Piketty quote from https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/commentisfree/2016/feb/16/thomas-piketty-bernie-sanders-us-election-2016 -- I wanted something a little more "statement" oriented but running out of time. 

The guitars throughout are from guitar stems I recorded months ago in order to use for textures, and not recorded while working on this project. The protesters at the end are from a free field recordings site, SoundTransit: http://archive.turbulence.org/soundtransit/search/sounds.php

I come back over and over again to an idea of using sound samples, generated text, and synthesized voices to make deconstructed pop songs. I want to make them more "catchy" than the results, which to me sound like someone trying to manually recreate AI song generation, lol
