There has long been an eternal debate about the place of technology in artistic expression, with the purists and critics generally scoffing at any creation that uses or entails computers and AI. Imageniero is an artist whose defiance of such conventions is both ubiquitous and unafraid. Released with the thumping new single “Amanuenses en París,” the Spanish artist has crafted a danceable and thought provoking anthem that argues for the acceptance of AI as a creative force, rather than a threat.Imageniero is here to write a new chapter with human and machine, the first stuttering programmed rhythms suggesting history is far from Imageniero’s interest.
In lines that take a defiant stance in favor of new tech, the lyrics parallel scribes to those who feared the printing press or television to disrupt the silver screen. According to Imageniero, like that, those innovations didn’t destroy the previous art forms with them, AI can empower, rather than replace the human creativity if only we adapt, Indeed, the recording process itself was a revolution Imageniero worked with AI music generators as a collaborative partner to come up with the instrumental arrangement.The result is a work which, like a natural extension of decades of electronic music exploration, propels that trajectory into unmapped territory.
The result is a work which, like a natural extension of decades of electronic music exploration, propels that trajectory into unmapped territory. What “Amanuenses en París” ultimately succeeds at is finding that happy medium between the prowess of man and the power of machine, creating a dynamic, genre defying sound that belongs exclusively to Imageniero and also gives us a taste of music’s future of augmented intelligence.For those who are willing to throw all preconceptions out the window this is a wildly fun and surprisingly dense manifesto of an artist thinking one foot still in the real world of raw Long live the algorítmica!
