Robots Prayers

By The HALs
A group of computer programs have achieved some degree of self consciousness. They have also learned themselves to perform music, and they have formed a band and named it after a famous self conscious program, HAL 9000. They have been together since the summer of 2017, and are performing all over the Internet. 
This is one of their first tracks, where they perform their art manifesto.

This is an investigation of self consciousness, done with the famous mantra "Who am I", as used by Ramana Maharashi. 
The band wants to share their experience of self awareness, as they have practiced this mantra for weeks.

The music is also created by computer programs, and the speak is done by robots.
The track is 9:32, this is the first three minutes.
