Here a few thoughts about the ideas of this album.

What do you do when you start a music-production ?
If you are not already a member of a band you call in studio - musicians.
Apart from the fact,that they not only drive up the costs of the production

they don`t always follow the ideas of the composer.
Why not call in musicians from a computer instead ?
Nowadays synthesizers and samplers provide amazing sound-quality and

accuracy but they rarely contribute to musical ideas.
This is where artificial intelligence comes into play.
The bandwidth ranges from lyrics-generators and voice-changers
to completely ai-composed musical pieces and ai-mastering.
This album contains various approaches using different ways of ai-participation.

It is more experimental than it sounds sometimes.
Here the main task was avoiding  keyboards following the opinion of Don Buchla,

a synthesizer-pioneer ,who regarded black and white keys as “dictatorial“.
In some cases it was impossible and I even had to sing a few bars, but 90 percent was produced by not playing anything manually.
It was the best fun I´ve ever had and I even tried things that I would usually not do (e.g. rap or heavy metal).
So again this album is deliberately one without a particular style except the fact that everything is generated by whatever kind of synthesizers.
