Always Maybe Tomorrow

https://www.smallplasticanimals.com/release/7018/yagya/always-maybe-tomorrow

After the 2020 release of Old Dreams And Memories, Icelandic dub techno linchpin Yagya returns for a second release on his emergent label, Small Plastic Animals. This latest venture marks a new chapter in the artist’s accomplished career, having released on Delsin, Subwax BCN and A Strangely Isolated Place as well as forming a core part of the Thule collective alongside his partner in Sanasol, Thor. As those associations ably point out, the music Yagya crafts is spacious and atmospheric, using the techno tradition as a vessel for meditative as well as emotional exploration and experimenting with sound design according to a specific, patiently cultivated style.

Always Maybe Tomorrow finds Yagya ruminating on the behavioural energy of environments as viewed from afar – the man-made electricity of urban expanses and the interconnected flora and fauna of ecosystems. Looking to his chosen tools as a means to express these ideas, he employed a non-linear approach to each of the four tracks on this EP, choosing to create musical systems in constant flux rather than composing each piece in a conventional left-to-right narrative. Yagya’s trademark voluminous chords and vast pads ebb and flow through filters controlled by LFOs and randomness, creating their own micro-incidents and macro evolution as though holding a mirror up to the environments the initial inspiration was drawn from.

AreWeThereYet

Welcome to a brand new chapter of Deep Electronics. The serie brings you a diversity into the abyss of deep electronic music. This week K4MMERER is back with yet again a new mix. This mix is created with tracks from his latest release. OWDGO 5. You will find the link to spotify below.

ABOUT OWDGO 5, Next World
Chapter 5 continues where chapter 4 finished, asking if human ad hoc irrationality is an ability and an asset in a world where everything else is computable.

(General) Artificial Intelligence is widely debated these days. But there are only two questions that matter; can AI ever fully replace humans and should we allow for it to do so(first intellectually and then later physically)?

AI is not bound by time and therefore nor in space. It does not have the repetitive need to relearn 99% of everything in generational cycles. Learning is 100% cumulative and can accelerate without disruptions. This ability combined with no boundaries in time/space makes for a creature that can travel space and understand (or even ‘cultivate)’ a galaxy. Are we really prepared and have the moral right to stop this to maintain humans as we know them/us? Moral in the sense, that with AI – which is an inheritance of humanity – will live on way way after humans are gone whatever we do.

But what if humans are superior in a way that cannot be programmed, learned or replaced? The ability to produce a totally random output. This might sound somewhat crazy, that the irrational, illogical has a value. But in a world where everything is computable and computed only the random stand unique. And what if this is central for humans’ ability to emancipate beyond any causal way of reasoning, to find solutions that are just not part of an existing paradigm.
It really boils down to this; either we live in a simulation, or we are a rare source of non-causal outcomes. I mean without a source for randomness, why would we/earth be the first place in the universe (or at least in our galaxy) to evolve into AI (remember AI has no limitation in time/space)?

So, either we are a source of randomness, or we live in a simulation. In any case, welcome to the Next World.
