FAWM: "Cadaverine"

Cadaverine

Liner Notes

#electronic #synth #heavy #spooky

The previous songs were made with lots of guitar so this one has none :)

This one is mostly about images I don't even know I'm in and writing I forgot being vacuumed up into AI generation models while the more human-centric internet is quickly drying up

But also how these scraps of me will far outlive me and resurface over the years

Lyrics

I live in floating gates
And from this vast array you may summon
My image in your pocket

Captured unaware in a Tourists photograph
An extra on the street to fill in
Complete the scene

Cadaverine
All our bits are rotting
Fed to the machine
Cadaverine, cadaverine
Cadaverine
Left it all for rotting
Left to the machine
Cadaverine

Afterimages persist
In new hallucinations
Beyond recognition, restoration
And clawed back invitations

I await

I await your beck and call
Summon me forth from mixed remains
The very same way
a crematorium
Contains
a bit of everything

Mixed into the topsoil
throwaways for a digital age
All fed into the beast we made
A piece of me stuck in its teeth

Wow. You make deft use of unusual structures and progressions...your sound design and programming are ace. "All fed into the beast we made, a piece of me stuck in its teeth" really sums up the present digital miasma. Love this.

Such a great and bleak image you're painting. That chorus is badass, the bass that comes in really fills out the space. Those lovely synth flourishes all over are wonderful! Feels very desperate, like the dirge at the end of humanity as the cold steel and data takes over.
