about
Originally conceived in 2001 and reborn in 2012 through meticulous remastering, this musical masterpiece has transcended time, evolving with a fresh infusion of bass, synthesizers, and the ground-breaking touch of artificial intelligence for voice cloning.
"Q AI" is more than just an auditory experience; it's a captivating narrative influenced by the pulse of contemporary American politics. Against the backdrop of the United States hurtling toward its 60th presidential election, the artist weaves a tapestry of unity, skillfully using speech samples from iconic, living, and departed presidents. Their voices, a poignant reminder of the nation's history, converge to deliver a powerful message that transcends political divides.
Finally, the track also serves as a stark warning about the perils of voice cloning, an ominous specter looming on the horizon as November 5th, 2024 approaches.
lyrics
My fellow Americans.
Today, we enter a new phase of History through which Truth and most certainly traditions will be challenged.
Voice cloning has proven itself to be very efficient and it promises to be even more convincing tomorrow.
Americans are called to the polls and we can all presume that many will try to deep fake their way into our lingering democracy.
We can expect our foes and perhaps our allies to test the boundaries of our beliefs into a democratic system.
Even if we all know that our projected ideals have ended up into a sham system.
We can also expect our own to distort reality, to fuel hatred, to disinform or to unwittingly share this kind of altered media artefacts.
Every politician in Washington is a target, whether he likes it or not.
We as a society must aware of these changes that will introduce chaos further into our political process.
My fellow Americans. The time has come to unite and hasten our preparations for the upcoming presidential elections. The American people must brace itself as many will try to deter any consensus among us, preying on a present incapacity to work things out. Such attempts have happened in the past and perhaps helped spread a set of beliefs among America. We now understand that voice and image cloning is part of our everyday life and that we are to remain vigilant at all times to defend our values and traditions from being distorted.
Immerse yourself in the revolutionary fusion of sound and intellect of D.R.A.G.U.E, the brainchild of bassist, composer, and
musical craftsman, Rafael-Alexandre Ramos, as he orchestrates a symphony that mirrors the intricate dance of contemporary politics and societal discourse with artificial intelligence taking center stage and breathing life into thought-provoking speech samples...more
