about

THE SINGULARITY - a dramatic cinematic-electro crescendo about the hypothetical point in time where tech, robotics and artificial intelligence become so advanced that technological growth becomes unstoppable and radically alters the world as we know it!

Watch the timelapse of how I designed The Singularity's cover art: youtu.be/wlvyN8Q5BqE

The Singularity was created on October 26 and finished mid-November 2022. Continuing from the theme of big tech and bots from my previous release "I Need New Music", I felt the need to make this to address my feelings of simultaneous excitement and fears about the rapid acceleration of AI, such as AI image generators that can generate full-fledged fantasy worlds in 5 seconds, neural networks that can write entire books in minutes indistinguishable from human authors, increasingly AI-powered infrastructure, and AI's use in global conflict.

I called this track "The Singularity" in reference to a hypothetical point in time of the same name where AI and tech reach a point of unstoppable growth with irreversable changes to civilisation as we know it. Similarly, my track gets faster and more dramatic as it crescendos to an explosive ending. It starts with strings, then choir hums, then church organs - stereotypically "dramatic-sounding" instruments, before progressively getting more electronic, symbolising the AI takeover.

Along with the buildup, the chords are one of my favourite parts of this track and I believe they're my best yet! I also consider this to be one of the hardest tracks I've ever mastered, particularly with bass, flattening the harsh EQ spikes, and the competing loudness of all the instruments. I believe I've done as best as I could.

The inspiration for how this sounds comes from M83, Felsmann and Tiley's track "Solitude", which was used in an AI-generated animation made by Fabio Comparelli where he subtly altered AI prompts to depict human evolution form monkeys to humans to cyborgs to the singularity.

The cover art depicts Rocky, the finally-named photographer raccoon who first appears in the Data Trio from Unlimited Data's cover art back in April 2021. After a very long period of aimlessly wandering, he ends up in the right (or wrong) place at the right (or wrong) time as he stares up dumbfounded as the Singularity unfolds before his very eyes. Rocky is worried that AI can generate much better photos in seconds than he could ever take in years. Both my logo and the phrase "The Singularity" mimic the uncanny letter shapes that often generate in AI-generated artworks.

Hatansion
by DJ Omnimaga

DJ Omnimaga brilliantly captured the charm of old-school happy hardcore vibes in this album, especially in Rave Maelstrom 2022 which reminds me of early 2000s rave music! MOULE

Critical Mass
by Spidercat

I LOVE the juxtaposition of animals in a spaceship expedition gone hilariously wrong, and I also love how its cover art features a badger in a pink spacesuit! MOULE

Spirits – Single
by Schall und Stille

An absolutely enchanting, beautifully-sung and composed song that I heard in Fedivision 2023. The opening melodies and later guitar riffs are stunning! Definitely worth a listen! MOULE

Psychedelic Ghost Stories

This is cool as hell. I feel like I'm adrift in a space between dimensions, dancing amongst hallucinatory fragments of several realities. In one moment I'm dancing in a courtyard of some ancient technicolor empire. The next it's a little island in the sky of a dreamlike cube-world. So cool! Jank Hambrams
