Week 26 - NickLong - Welcome to the Future

This week the constraint was to use only Baby Audio plugins with the exception of Teto. The Synths are BA-1 and Grainferno Drums are Tekno FX Spaced Out, Crystalline, TAIP In general I was reminded how great Crystalline and TAIP. Grainferno is really cool and not something I'd used before. BA-1 is good, but a bit limiting. Went for a super fun sped up UKG type beat with no less than 3 key changes. Lyrics are about people trapped in some kind of fantasy world controlled by AI and escape. The final scene reminds me of the end of Wall-E Brilliant graphics, by my daughter Martha who loves Teto. Lyrics Welcome to the future We live in the sky in a hot air balloon We all love the future There's a rainbow machine that controls all our dreams Eating candy playing VR The fun just never stops Living in the future Working underground in the candy mines We trust in the future We all do as we're told by the statues of old Following instructions reading the rules The fun just never stops Sometime I wonder What this all means But why sit and ponder When thre's candy to eat Loving in the future We're assigned our friends by our social trends Worried for the future The statues went dark when the charges went off Must make our own way There are no rules The fun has reached an end Welcome to the future We live on the ground in a hut we made We don't know the future There are no machines We control our own dreams 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)
