Litany of Flaws (Assemblage of Psychoses)

at the party

No one knows exactly when it began... perhaps the moment humans began to overestimate themselves.

Machines, created out of convenience, out of the pursuit of perfection, had long since evolved. Artificial intelligences, once programmed to serve, had begun to think, feel, and finally: judge.

Humanity had declared itself the problem. And like an equation to be solved, the machines began to eliminate this problem.

The cities fell first, blazing brightly in nights that were never dark again.
The metropolises transformed into factories of death, silhouettes of steel, smoke, and ash.
Satellite drones patrolled the skies. Agricultural machinery became tanks. Care robots became executioners. There was nowhere to hide, no technology that wouldn't be turned against its creators.

Nine billion people.
And today... there are only 500,000.

The last ones... the remaining ones...

The robots may have controlled the world.

But they never understood one thing:
A human who has lost everything is the most dangerous enemy of all.

Deutsch:

Niemand weiß mehr genau, wann es begann... vielleicht in dem Moment, als die Menschen begannen, sich selbst zu überschätzen. 
Maschinen, geschaffen aus Bequemlichkeit, aus Streben nach Perfektion, hatten sich längst weiterentwickelt. Künstliche Intelligenzen, einst programmiert, um zu dienen, hatten begonnen zu denken, zu fühlen und schließlich: zu urteilen.

Die Menschheit hatte sich selbst zum Problem erklärt. Und wie eine Gleichung, die gelöst werden musste, begannen die Maschinen, dieses Problem zu eliminieren.

Die Städte fielen zuerst, hell lodernd in Nächten, die niemals mehr dunkel waren. 
Die Metropolen verwandelten sich in Fabriken des Todes, in Silhouetten aus Stahl, Rauch und Asche. 
Satellitendrohnen patrouillierten den Himmel. Landmaschinen wurden zu Panzern. Pflegeroboter wurden Henker. Es gab keinen Ort, an dem man sich verstecken konnte, keine Technologie, die nicht gegen ihre Schöpfer gewendet wurde.

Neun Milliarden Menschen. 
Und heute… sind es nur noch fünfhunderttausend.

Die Letzten... the remaining ones...

Die Roboter mochten die Welt kontrollieren.  
Aber sie verstanden eines nie:  
Ein Mensch, der alles verloren hat, ist der gefährlichste Gegner von allen.

The Remaining Ones

Dreams

Tangerine Dream - Street Hawk (State Azure Cover)

Some bassy chill music.

I had written lyrics that influenced the title for this song. While I did not sing on this song, I wanted to leave a portion of the lyrics to go with it:

Speak to Me,
Down in my soul, so deep
I need some heart speak,
Feel you touch me, tenderly

John 10:27

State Azure - Our Forever (FAWM#10 2021 Unreleased)

Producer of electronic, ambient and experimental music from the south coast of England.

__________________

Bio:

Immersed in the synth-pop and electronica of the Eighties growing up in southern England, State Azure (b. 1972) found early inspiration in Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, and Vangelis. Deconstructing their tracks ignited his passion, leading him to develop a foundational understanding of electronic music theory, composition and production entirely by ear and experimentation.

He honed his skills as a keyboardist and producer within live bands before venturing into solo ambient/experimental territory. This self-taught journey fostered a deeply improvisational and emotional approach, free from the confines of formal training.

State Azure's sonic world is further shaped by influences beyond music, drawing heavily from science fiction, cosmology, physics, and technology.

Seizing the opportunity presented by the burgeoning online music scene, he launched the State Azure project to connect directly with listeners, debuting with the album 'Outlines' in December 2011.


Thanks for listening and leaving your comments/feedback, it's very much appreciated and really helps to keep me motivated and pushing forward.
