Man vs. Machine

April 10, 2013 by Anton Valle Leave a Comment

Hi, 

I would like to share my first choir piece KONE (Machine) that was performed a few days ago. But actually it’s a piece for choir and tracker software (Renoise). Check it out! http://areena.yle.fi/tv/1885763 

Lyrics translation: 

*** 
Waking up – warming up – ready. 
A robot works, a machine produces, it doesn’t get tired, it never stops. 
It’s mechanic and totally different – a soul of a machine. 
It will free us – without our permission. 

Solo: It paints, it sings, it’s made by us, to replace us. 
Choir: Slowing down, stopping – 
Solo: A man should not – 
Choir: sing like a machine. 

A robot works, a machine produces, it doesn’t get tired, it never stops. Machine sings. 

*** 
Hope you people like it! You can listen to a better mix @ www.antonvalle.fi
