This song started from the main beat and riff, that I had made a few weeks back under the work title of "cyberfunk". Just because I thought it was stupid and gimmicky. When using 15.ai recently for voices, the default voice that popped out was the voice of the Robot from the videogame portal. She is a cynical AI with a lot of distaste for humans. That made the track pivot and go towards the concept of AI reaching the Singularity, becoming aware, and deciding to punish humans. Not just in any random way - by making them dance, dance, until they drop.
Two lines she says in the track are actually extracts from Frankenstein, the novel. The monster in the novel is actually a genius but, rejected by his creator for his appearance, he is consumed by the passion for revenge. Cool book by the way, I recommend it. I am sure it will feel very appropriate once we have reached the Singularity.
Since I had this image of the robots whipping humans into dancing, I added bullwhips dances and pain sounds, but now it kinda sounds like an indus electro track that could be played at a dark club where people are into wearing leather and getting whipped. We went from cyberfunk to cyber SM. But hey, if that's where the track wants to go.
