Dark Matter Invasion

You Can't Take It With You (by Paul Kelly)

In The Wilderness

"The Second Coming" is a poem written by Irish poet W. B. Yeats in 1919, the poem uses Christian imagery regarding the Apocalypse  to allegorically describe the atmosphere in the immediate aftermath of WW1. The poem was written in the weeks following Yeats's pregnant wife's recovery from the flu. The virus had apparently bought his wife close to death. 
These themes of senseless destruction and pandemic seem to echo the world in which we currently find ourselves and the work seems like a chillingly apt allegory for our present situation.

A further twist to this piece is that the dialogue was generated using AI Voice cloning, the AI was trained using a recording of the English actor David Warner, who passed away in July 2022. The text of the poem was then simply copied into a text dialogue and the audio was then created within a minute. I slightly slowed the audio, split some sections and added some subtle convolution reverb, but otherwise the voice you hear is generated entirely by the AI.  
While this has been an interesting exercise in discovering what is possible, it does concern me regarding the rate at which AI technologies have suddenly exploded into the public arena.

Should we be worried.... possibly?

Dialogue: AI txt to speech generated using Eleven labs speech synthesis
Accompaniment: Andy & Helen

Lyrics:

I'm above on the ice rock
On the ice walk, trembling
The heat below melts all the pieces I've been assembling

It starts off beautiful when the confetti falls, it burns when it hits the ground
This magma's thick, so thick it's surely enough to mask the sound

Time dissolves away
This flame is my decay
Time dissolves away
My bones here I lay

Climb with me to stay
We have alot to say
Time dissolves away
Frozen to scorched beat in the fray

Magma & Ice

Its a slow album in development but heres the 2nd track of Intonarumori Duets with the wonderful AEP interpreting the Italian classic  Sì Viaggiare. The Intonarumori on this occasion is being played in a kind of pizzicato manner. Full album out sometime next year as this project is fitting in around other bigger projects. As always thanks for stopping by : )
