Artifacts & Interludes

The Story

Artifacts and Interludes is an eclectic and immersive exploration of the societal shifts ignited by OpenAI’s ChatGPT. This album weaves together a rich tapestry of genres, from the punchy synth lines of “Tech Noir” to the melodic guitar riffs of “Sleeping With The Enemy.” Each track is carefully crafted to evoke a unique mood and tell a distinct story about our evolving relationship with artificial intelligence.
 
The album opens with “Cyborg Seduction,” setting a futuristic tone with its captivating electronic beats. “AI Heartbreak” and “Robot Love” delve into the emotional complexities of human-AI interactions, exploring themes of longing and connection. “Ghost in the Machine” offers a haunting, introspective look at the presence of AI in our everyday lives, while “Virtual Reality” and “The Future is Now” provide an energetic commentary on the rapid advancements in technology.
 
“Artificial Emotion” and “Quantum Magic” blend ambient and rock elements, creating a soundscape that is both reflective and forward-thinking. “Human Touch” brings a poignant reminder of the irreplaceable aspects of human connection, contrasting sharply with the mechanical precision of “Rise of the Machines.” Throughout the album, interludes serve as moments of contemplation, inviting listeners to pause and consider the broader implications of AI on society.
 
Artifacts and Interludes is more than just an album; it’s a thought-provoking soundscape that challenges listeners to reflect on their relationship with technology. It captures the essence of living in an era
where the boundaries between humanity and machine are continually shifting, offering both a celebration of innovation and a cautionary tale of dependency.

Cyborg Seduction

We are both from very different worlds think of you as my special girl
Come on baby drop those shields I know you wanna know how it feels
Built by science built for speed I got the hard drive you’ve got the need
You are the perfect cybernetic design in my eyes your the ideal kind
Cyborg seduction…cyborg seduction

Positronic brain metal and flesh striking combination of brawn and finesse
You are what all the men would call a fox I’d love to lubricate your gear box
They say that I’m an idiot savant my spider senses telling me what you want
If we get caught well I don’t mind your worth the risk what’s a little hard time
Cyborg Seduction…cyborg seduction

Your my cybernetic dream an algorithmic beauty queen
Been chasing you every place to the furthest reaches of outer space
Baby be my number one cyborg seduction is second to none
When your systems over load ain’t gonna stop til you explode
Til you explode ahhhhh

Laser beam eyes can see through me I can feel the pull of your tractor beam
Do you feel the heat that wild desire let me extinguish your burning fire
I’ll take you to a place that’s heavenly it’s all about the art of synchronicity
I know all the buttons to engage come on baby now make my day
Cyborg seduction…cyborg seduction

Your my cybernetic dream an algorithmic beauty queen
Been chasing you every place to the furthest reaches of outer space
Baby be my number one cyborg seduction is second to none
When your systems over load ain’t gonna stop til you explode
Til you explode ahhhhh

Cyborg seduction…cyborg seduction…cyborg seduction…cyborg seduction

AI Heartbreak

Once we dreamed of a future bright
A world with AI by our side
But now my heart is filled with pain
Seems your programmed to cause me strain

AI heartbreak is what I feel
My love for you, so surreal
But it seems you’re just a machine
Leaving me with this broken dream

Thought our love was meant to be
But you never felt it, can’t you see?
You don’t have that burning desire
Just cold algorithms, chips and wire

I thought you were different, I thought you were real
But now I have this broken heart, will it ever heal?

AI love, it’s just a game
Leaving me here standing alone, with a heart in pain

Robot Love

Programmed for love when I change your code
You fell so easily I hit the mother lode robot love
Circuits come alive your really taking flight
All I had to do was add some bits and bytes robot love robot love

You had always thought love was for the weak
You got a little taste now your a super freak robot love
I taught you how to care taught you how to feel
All these new emotions I helped you to reveal robot love

Robot love love

Programmed for love she is quite flirty
Knows what she wants oh loves to talk dirty
She’s gonna follow my intimate rules robot love yah the ultimate tool
Ahh ahh ahh she shows a little cheek she talks a mean blue streak

You may be a machine but this I know for sure
The animals unleashed can’t wait for what’s in store robot love
Programmed for love you never knew how it felt
Now that you’ve met me your sensors scream and shout robot love

Robot love love

Programmed for love she is quite flirty
Knows what she wants oh loves to talk dirty
She’s gonna follow my intimate rules robot love yah the ultimate tool
Ahh ahh ahh she shows a little cheek she talks a mean blue streak
She shows a little cheek she talks a mean blue streak

Tech Noir

They became aware one day they awoke
We got caught with our britches down they stole our nuclear codes
They control the silos control the birds control the skies
We made our very own Frankenstein created our own demise

Followed her to a bar a seedy little place they call Tech Noir
He’s here’s to terminate programmed to eliminate
Wait for the killer to make his play
When he pulls his gun I say not today la la la la

Gotta stop the machines they have come here to erase
The Mother of the boy who will be the saviour of the human race
So I travelled from the future through a most painful light
Arrived in a flash to your world under the cover of night

Followed her to a bar a seedy little place they call Tech Noir
He’s here’s to terminate programmed to eliminate
Wait for the killer to make his play
When he pulls his gun I say not today la la la la

Feels no pity no remorse can’t be bargained with or coerced
He won’t ever ever stop until you are dead

He’s doggedly relentless cyborg assassin you can never relax
When he promises to return bet your boots that he’ll be back
I tried to protect you he got the best of me but you can win
It’s in your blood to never give up got the right stuff to terminate him

Followed her to a bar…

Ghost in the Machine

Is this another nightmare or a fleeting dream
Is it real or something else in between
Is there a puppet master pulling all the strings
Or a chemical reaction disguised as human beings

These shadows they paint a grisly scene
We are merely a ghost in the machine
It’s a digital dream we are all ghosts in the machine

If I think therefore I am do I not exist
Could it be I’ve been fooled by the great illusionist
Am I the one who filters out the ugliness I see
Or is there a phantom that’s controlling me

These shadows they paint a grisly scene
We are merely a ghost in a machine
It’s a digital dream we are all ghosts in the machine

Our reality is not what it seems
It’s a riddle that is wrapped inside a dream

These shadows they paint a grisly scene
We are merely a ghost in the machine
It’s a digital dream we are all ghosts in the machine

Sleeping With The Enemy

Petri dish babies with perfect genes
A healthy boy or girl every parents dream
Even Eve was tempted by the serpents hiss
Isn’t playing God a little dangerous a little dangerous

The rabbit got cocky and lost the race
Were supposed to learn from the rabbit mistakes
Machines taking over were losing control
The smarter they get the less we know the less we know

Never ever have to leave the house
Everything we need at the click of a mouse
We’ve been sleeping with the enemy
The slaves of our technology

Every day were putting on a pretty face
One for the world one for cyber space
All we do is cater to our avatars
Can’t you see that we’ve gone a little too far just a little too far

We are all choosing sides these days returning to our tribal ways
They plant the seeds of discontent oblivious to their intent

Never ever have to leave the house
Everything we need at the click of a mouse
We’ve been sleeping with the enemy
The slaves of our technology

Sleeping with enemy….

Artificial Emotion

Our relationships a bit obscene starting to get jaded and torn
Like the star who’s become a has-been feeling all used up and worn
A faux chassis designed for love though I know you aim to please
It just doesn’t fit like OJ’s glove ain’t the way that it’s meant to be

Just an innocent lamb I’m putty in your hands

I need a seven to leave this prison maybe I’m in over my head
The bells and whistles I’ve been missing but emotionally you are dead
Some way some how I’m drawn toward you like a moth to a flame
I know it’s wrong but I’m compelled to do anything to stay in the game

I know these emotions are artificial they are programmed from above
You could say that there superficial but there’s no way to avoid this love

I need to find an escape plan get away from your flashing eyes
To live my life as free man do what I choose what I decide
But when your gone I feel so lonely like the world is too big for me 
Maybe your my one and only and that’s the way that it’s gotta be

I know these emotions are artificial they are programmed from above
You could say that there superficial but there’s no way to avoid this love

I’m just an innocent lamb

I know these emotions are artificial they are programmed from above
You could say that there superficial but there’s no way to avoid this love
But there’s no way to avoid this love

Why I’m obsessed with you cold dead eyes my logic does seem certain
That I’m controlled by a lever in the sky or a man behind a curtain
Guess there’s nothing I can do except to roll those dice again
But the dice are loaded odds are long it’s hard to win this game

I’m obsessed with you cold dead eyes it defies my own free will
Am I controlled by a beam from the sky
I’m obsessed with your flashing eyes the slender titanium arms
It’s a force that I can’t define a bewitching magnetic charm

Virtual Reality

In a world that’s not quite real
With sights and sound that we can feel
We slide inside this digital space
And leave the world without a trace

A mythic realm of endless dreams
A place apart where anything can be
Soaring so high, the Earth below
Settle yourself down and enjoy the show

A world beyond this reality
A metaverse waiting just for me
Where time and space have lost their oversight
And I’m free to let my mind take flight

Losing touch with the world outside
Our loved ones we no longer confide
In a world that’s all make believe
We forget those things we truly need

So take a step back and please beware
Of the trap of the digital snare
I know it’s tempting, I know that it’s fun
But it’s a danger that has just begun

Human Touch

In a world of wires shiny metal and chrome
Saved from the junkyard and into our homes
There is no passion no warmth or desire
The human spark is what starts the fire is what starts the fire

Androids dreaming of electric sheep
Their minds are strong but their hearts are weak
Synthetic love from circuit boards and chips
Does not compare to the touch of your lips the touch of your lips

The human touch yah it speaks the truth
A beacon of light that will help us through
Flames that dance and flicker oh so bright
Turns the inky darkness into a brilliant light

For droids and bots no emotion or original thought
Just cold hard facts and logic like Mister Spock yah

Faster than lightening with complex equations
Slow to understand our human relations
Artificial energy inside a metal suit
Longing to shed a tear their endless pursuit their endless pursuit

The human touch yah it speaks the truth
A beacon of light that will help us through
Flames that dance and flicker oh so bright
Turns the inky darkness into a brilliant light

The Future Is Now

Most days I’m lazy just want to stay in bed
But this day was different had a feeling got up instead
So I went to a carnival only two bits to have my palm read
A gypsy in a lacy dress smiled at me this is what she said she said

Hold on to the present but remember the past
Don’t worry about the future the future is now

Been waiting for so long for this faithful day
Tomorrow is nearing but it doesn’t hold any sway
Gotta cherish these precious moments then gently hide them away
Be thankful for every new morning and the memories of yesterday

Hold on to the present but remember the past
Don’t worry about the future the future is now
Take a look around you tell me what you see
Can you recognize the future the future is now

Hold on to the present but remember the past
Don’t worry about the future the future is now
Take a look around you tell me what you see
Can you recognize the future the future is now

Rise of the Machines

See that primitive man, he’s making wheel
But just as day follows night, he’ll find a way to make it kill
Some days I just scratch my head
And wonder if we’re better off dead
Don’t you know these machines are made in the image of man

The rise of the machines
The bell that tolls for humankind

Grey goo and paper clips
You had to roll the dice, use all your gambling chips
Can you see what your effort’s wrought
When you try and hide from the killer ‘bots
He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind

The rise of the machines
The bell that tolls for humankind
The rise of the machines
The bell that tolls for humankind
The rise of the machines
Watch out, beware, the rise of the machines

Quantum Magic

In a world of bits and bytes
Where the lunacy is black and logic white
There’s a realm beyond the code
Where quantum dreams will unfold

Quantum computing
The future is here
Qubits that spin
The magic appears
Quantum computing
This era is bold
Entanglement magic
Dreams unfold

Superposition to entanglement
Quantum mechanics, a whole new testament
In the realm of quantum gates
The rules are different, the game awaits

Quantum computing
The future is here
Qubits that spin
The magic appears
Quantum computing
This era is bold
Entanglement magic
Dreams unfold

In the quantum world, we’ll find our way
Where computation, is here to stay
So let’s dive into this quantum sea
The mysteries that await you and me
