Why the AI Race? Truth as a luxury

Movement 2

Video: https://youtu.be/G8Ngh-gRgO8
A brief intermission from the present—this is a restored moment from six years ago, when I first touched the Pocket Operators and felt something shift. The PO-35 Speak and PO-14 Sub opened a new line of creation for me, and this short jam was one of the first sparks.
Now remastered in 4K with a new sound mix, it returns not as a statement, but as a breath between movements. A reminder of where things began, and how playfulness still finds its way into the process.
Not a full release. Not a throwback. Just a small interlude between deeper lines.
Peace, Mark

Intermission: PO Speak/Sub (2019)

The words are from a poem that my grandad composed just before he was killed in action in world war 2. This poem was about my mum and my family didn't know the existence of this poem only until my mum passed away 6 months ago. The lie low in the photo he used to escape from Dunkirk and there is the only photo of my mum "baby blue" and her beloved farther. 

Coz your my baby blue,

Soft Glitch Version. This version stumbles where the original tried to glide. It’s slower, more fragile, a gentleman’s walk through emotional static. The track explores the tension between presence and detachment, between the desire to act without judgment and the reality of constant failure.
Glitches become gestures. Loops become longing.
It’s not about escaping emotion. it’s about making space beside it, even when that space flickers.
A soft departure, still — but now with broken shoes and a trembling compass.

Soft Glitch

When exactly ends the past? The rain is now, the echoes are forever.

Chapter 248 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of consciousness and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.
