温故知新 by Amadeusz
The maxim 温故知新 (ONKOCHISHIN) reminds us that in order to understand the new, we need to learn from the old.
The concept behind the 温故知新 album is a story of an AI hybrid woman who is living in the year 3030, where technology is prominent and the organic human has been lost and forgotten. She then discovers early 20th century jazz music and is fascinated with the way she felt hearing it. As the music begins to activate her memory, she is taken into a journey of remembrance of the existence of a human being before transhumanism technology.
"This is a story witnessed in time. The year? 3030 - the age of technological advancement and AI. I am a hybrid just living my life but one day, I stumbled into a box of ancient records. Vinyl they are called and that's when I discovered 1920's jazz. This music takes me backwards into my future. A whole discovery of something organic, which is rare to find these days. Apparently we were once humans... My life began the day that I started recreating jazz. I don't know how but the sounds, they just bring me back to my memory of a lifetime long forgotten. And now, I have started remembering who, I truly am."
