Today there strong debates questioning about the extraordinary breakthroughs in science such as in biology, cloning; in Internet communication and the never ending movement to censor it; in security, surveillance drones and the increasing level of immersion in entertainment, among other matters. People facing the 21st century are trying to determine whether these new tools-actions will enhance and bring life to a great unprecedented level, or if these new tools-actions will contribute and perhaps even cause the destruction of society and life as we know it.
Public opinion on cloning is still vastly divided. The arguments are many and they are centered in advantages or disadvantages ideas like: providing better research capabilities to find cures to many current diseases; bringing back friends or relatives who have passed away by cloning an identical copy; giving children for women who are single and do not wish to have artificial insemination; the choice of physical, emotive or moral characteristics; cloning is unethical and reduces genetic diversity; human cloning could produce another way to have dictatorships; human cloning would alter the very essence of humanity, and so on.
On the other hand, science fiction literature or movies have also played a key role on ideas by introducing new ways of life or the way societies, in general, deal with science breakthroughs.
The main concept of my debut album is about possible scenarios for human cloning more into the science fiction narrative. My music tries to describe sonically a utopian society which desperately wants to achieve a state of stability, a loss of individuality, and the undoing of all natural-spiritual-cosmic processes. Human cloning, successfully engineered, has only one main goal: the purpose of life not only like the maintenance of well-being, but as some degree of open development and refining of awareness and the human being itself.
Once individuality and emotions have been eliminated, the chain of dehumanization enters into the field of art and personal expression. Since no one can create art or express emotions in these new societies, individual expression is retarded. The lack of a cultural environment adds to the artistic wasteland and introduces a new kind of human groups that does have a “good side”: there is no war or suffering, little disease or social conflict. But for those few highlights, society pays a very high price: there is no love, family, art, religion nor history; there is only stability, identity and community.
