About "THE BEAUTIFUL ONES"
Perhaps there are many of you who are interested in biology or anthropology had heard of the "Universe 25" experiment.
The experiment was about a "rat utopia", providing an artificial heaven for rodents to survive - free from predators, sufficient food, accommodation and all sorts of recreations. Such creatures with social structures will result in a "behavioral sink" when the group grows into a certain threshold.
In the experiment, rats and mice experiencing behavioral sink are invasive, refusing social activities, going hypersexual and progressing further, asexual and completely isolated from the community. Some males ended up just ate, slept, and groomed, wrapped in narcissistic introspection, and ultimately death. These were called by scientists as "The Beautiful Ones".
As there are more of "The Beautiful Ones", a huge community would eventually collapse and become extinct.
I am certainly not an expert on this, but this experiment gave me immense insight. At least from what I could observe, there are many who could not adapt to the exponential growth of the community and information, resulting into a situation very similar to "behavioral sink". Being alive is increasingly lonely, but such cultural revolution is also so poignant that motivated me to construct such a contradictory emotion and world setting with sounds.
Being the first song released under the new alias "KIVΛMKII", creating pieces in such form is also the main focus of the project. I have always been into theology, philosophy and science and so, which interprets life and universe in different eras and different ways. Transcribing such beauty into pieces of work is the greatest motivation throughout my life as an artist. I have always hoped that through such creation, I could come across more resonating souls in this lonely world, as a proof of my existence.
To stop writing forever, I shall talk about how I transcribe concepts into sounds and music in other instances, or in a walkthrough video of the entire project if you are interested.
I have to thank my friend Wayson Hsu for mastering the track with me. This piece is not as "digital" as my previous works, and I attempted to use analog gears to render the master track, giving the dirty and saturated, granulated world in the finalize phase. With his help, the outcome was satisfying.
I created the entire video for this. I planned to make a music video with my new character image, rendering with better visual effects, but my eyes got swollen due to infection, and the whole plan was ruined right before the date I scheduled to release the video, so it resulted in this motion visual. There might be some flaws in the video and I would say it is below perfection, but I would consider it a pass given the production schedule I had.
I would also like to thank another friend Yu-Lin Tsao for providing me insights of using program codes in the music video. Unfortunately the code seems blurred in the rendered video (I am so thankful that viewers are decoding them, and I have already released the code).
I wish my new work could bring some further insight to you, and there will be new works in the same concept upcoming. I will be working together with you for the better 2021.
