ABOUT THE RELEASE

It has been seven years since the release of "Immortal Habits", the album that got Canadian electronic artist Liza Nicklin critical acclaim and a Fenty Beauty sync placement. She has finally decided to share her new material with the world. The album "Revel: Generative" will be released in September and "Generosity of Genius" is the first of two singles to announce it. It has Nicklin's trademark brand of deep house mixed with dub techno, intelligently spiced with uplifting memorable grooves.

Liza Nicklin - Generosity of Genius (FLTRLBL193)

Cause I Wonder

Artificial Gratification

Composed, arranged, performed, and produced by:
Carlos Vivanco
A lunar phase or Moon phase is the apparent shape of the Moon's directly sunlit portion as viewed from the Earth (because the Moon is tidally locked with the Earth, the same hemisphere is always facing the Earth). In common usage, the four major phases are the new moon, the first quarter, the full moon, and the last quarter; the four minor phases are waxing crescent, waxing gibbous, waning gibbous, and waning crescent. A lunar month is the time between successive recurrences of the same phase: due to the eccentricity of the Moon's orbit, this duration is not perfectly constant but averages about 29.5 days.

The appearance of the Moon (its phase) gradually changes over a lunar month as the relative orbital positions of the Moon around Earth, and Earth around the Sun, shift. The visible side of the Moon is sunlit to varying extents, depending on the position of the Moon in its orbit, with the sunlit portion varying from 0% (at new moon) to nearly 100% (at full moon)

Cast of characters:
Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea -- Terry – Synthesizers, beats, composition, production, and mix
The Mysterious Decibel -- @themysteriousdecibel – MD – First vocals and lyrics 
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez–Electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Electric guitar, mix, and production 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, lyrics, and vocals at the end
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–five-string fretless bass

This song began with Terry sharing an intriguing Eastern sounding synth and minimal beat with Ken, who added a really solid beat to bring out the strong rhythm of the song. Once they had a solid foundation and skeleton, they shared it with the rest of the Eclectic Collective. I added my five string fretless bass in a dubby line that was inspired by Tez's hot skank part. Then JJ poured his magic into it, too. Stephen came up with the shocking dynamic lift towards the end, and Tez piled on to light it up. 
  Then MD got a hold of it and wrote and sang some of his trademark, fun lyrics and vocals in the first part of the song. Ken, not to be left out of the melodic experience, added the vocals at the end. 
  After we all had everything in the can, the Texas Tea combo of Stephen and Terry produced and mixed the whole thing down. This wasn't their first rodeo mixing a project together, and it really shows in the end quality. They also have several duo projects up on both of their pages that are worth checking out.  
  We think the end result is reminiscent of Massive Attack and Thievery Corporation, two big influences on a few of us. We all hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Lyrics by MD:
Time again and on, and on, and on, we fall in slumber
Dreams never wait
Ashes to ashes we all fall down 
Ooooo Circles break
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
When we wake
When we wake
Is this a new Simulation?
When I wake
When I wake

Lyrics by Ken:
Feed the flame or the fire flames out

This is the final song of the project. Again, the text is almost entirely produced by AI. I make two versions available and downloadable: one sung by a female voice, the other by a male.
This time, no one is mocked; the perspective is that of a ‘democratic’ artificial intelligence; everyone will be able to do everything, everything will be within reach, there will be no need for special skills. There is a page on SCloud that struck me: @siennaai. The owner of the profile, in the biographical notes, stating that he only offers AI-generated music, says: ‘There should be no professions with a status quo; either all have such a status or none do.’
That's all folks.

He was working at the pumps
Filling tanks counting dreams
Now his words in music's light
AI brought him to the scenes

She was ringing up the sales
Scanning hope through every beep
Now her songs they sail the skies
AI woke her from the deep

He'd deliver pizzas late at night
Dreams of songs under neon light
Now he's writing hits so bright
AI turned his wrongs to right

They were once lost in the crowd
But they turned it around
With a voice loud and proud
they’re AI bound
AI dreams make music soar
Lifted hearts from mundane floors
Real musicians struggle through
In a world they thought they knew

She poured drinks in a rundown dive
Barely getting by to survive
Now her lyrics come alive
Meeting success in overdrive

They was tooking care of other people's children at night
Whistling tunes to pass the time
Now their tracks are charting high
AI's rhythm made them shine

Once they cleaned and swept the way
Now their notes and lines both play
Real musicians are in tears
AI bringing new cheers
Real musicians pause and sigh
In a world that's passed them by

They were once lost in the crowd
But they turned it around
With a voice loud and proud
they’re AI bound
AI dreams make music soar
Lifted hearts from mundane floors
Real musicians struggle through
In a world they thought they knew
