Göttin der Geschichte (2024) für Mezzosopran und Orchester

for six voices and electronics 
by Fernando Manassero - 2024/25

In the year 2084 the Global Ai has completely replaced human labor, but the machines have also realised they don't have to work for us and everything collapsed leaving behind a race of workers pushed to perpetual holidays. And there they are, wandering through beaches under a scorching sun, getting drunk and fighting for food, until they realise there's no help coming to rescue them. That in reality the heroe is the human collective. 

1. Amniotic
2. The Fool
3. I like this beach
4. Feral 
5. Affirmations
