GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC PART II

[HASHY]

Ah well. thought something new had happened lol

"The song "Slow This Bird Down" has a double meaning. On one hand, it sounds like something a pilot would say when trying to land an airplane—"slow this bird down". But it also comments on our world, suggesting that everything is moving too fast and is too chaotic. People need to discern what's important and protect it. I believe I'm not the only one nostalgic for a simpler, more naive time when people weren't constantly waiting for something on the horizon. Listening to that song feels like a big black cloud is finally clearing, and a glimmer of hope is peeking through."

"When I was a kid, about five or six years old, a relative of mine had one of those tacky ceramic owls on their mantelpiece, and it had multifaceted diamante eyes. I was totally obsessed with those sparkly glass eyes, for ages. I felt like looking into them was like looking sideways though everything, right through time. That's what we're trying to do with our music."

My aunt had one of these I feel the same way about it -- macrame era life. Prob my fave BOC quote

was hoping we'd get a little something today, an acknowledgement or interview about Twoism....maybe not?

We still have a couple hours for something 'official' to surface. I'm personally not expecting anything major, but it's worth noting that Warp's announcements are usually made between 3pm-5pm GMT+1.

A post on ig about the 30th anniversary of Taoism just appeared

[Davism]

They are liking every comment that mentions new album. Incredibly excited!

Please say that's not an AI animation of the record cover..

[NorthernPlastics]

It is 100% AI. I am becoming really concerned with the possibility that the new album is going to be heavily implementing AI based on the Hell Interface Whitney Houston video, the Dayvan Cowboy upscale, and now this clip. It's even more confusing that they could've literally just used the footage from the movie instead of some AI animation. This is very incongruous with their previously explored themes and supposed views on ecopolitical issues, and I really hope it's just a management thing and not an indicator of what's to come.

You mentioned Chaos a moment ago. Are you interested in Chaos Theory - sciences that are a little offbeat?

"Yeah. Fractals. I don't know why, but strange sciences have always fascinated us."

Artificial life, etc.

"And numbers. Marcus studied Artificial Intelligence. That has influenced what we've done. With me, it's more numbers and their form. I've always been fascinated by the connection between music and numbers. Psychedelic experiences lead in this direction; they help us to see things in terms of numbers and their forms, of structures, as if the music was made out of crystals.

AI is an eco-political issue

Yeah not sure how much BOC had to do with this and I’m not personally putting much stock into the comment likes

Personally, I never have done and this kind of gives more weight to that.

Why are people saying that the video is 100% ai? isn't it a scene from that movie they took the album art from?

[Riverbed0666]

I’m wondering where the audio on that 30th anniversary post came from. Can’t quite tell if it was ripped directly from sixtyniner and then effects were added, or if it’s from a separate recording entirely.

Of course, we’ve seen semi-unreleased material surface on instagram in the past so one can hope this bit was pulled from the archives…..

[belchmaster]

Feels like another intern post to me but I do like the massive delay on the track. Hope the bros enjoyed the summer and are ready to get back into the studio. The whole AI angle they are presenting is a bit demoralizing though. Glad to be proven wrong.

[belchmaster]

Just double checked and the footage is from the movie. No AI. Still wonder why they used some in the past. Oh well.

[yonatan2115]

Why would someone care so much about ai?

[Sherbet Head]

Might I remind everyone this exists...

At an absolute push, AI may have been used to smoothly slow down the footage, but I'm more inclined to believe it's simple frame interpolation software.

This is a day for celebration !!!! super excited!
