Cryonaut - They'll Be Machines

Download the NEW ALBUM for FREE at www.CryonautMusic.com Back in 1964, Arthur C. Clarke, the legendary science fiction writer, did a BBC Horizon special where he revealed some of his predictions for the future. One of the most provocative ideas he shared was his belief that humankind would eventually be superceded by highly intelligent thinking machines. That was 50 years ago that he spoke those words, and I believe they hold more and more truth with each passing year.
For this track, I wanted to share Mr. Clarke's words, as well as to create a soundscape of evolving textures and patterns. In its own way, this track is almost a spiritual successor to my earlier track, Robot. It explores the same theme, and it also moves through three stages, what I like to think of as Organic, Technologic, and Transcendent.
I'm optimistic that advancing machine intelligence can and will be a force for accelerated positive change in the world. The more we can understand, appreciate and openly discuss the promise and peril of such revolutionary technology, the better chance we have of surviving (and thriving) in a landscape dominated by intelligent machines.
