When artificial life and the creator's position are interchanged, who is the dream of whom?
DiAN is a music creation group formed by Electrostatic Field Shuo in Tokyo, a music group composed of three artists, Electrostatic Field Shuo, A-bee, and immi. Born in Beijing, Shizuku Tsuzune, who is the lead singer, lyricist and art director, has been actively involved in various fields of artistic creativity as a pop artist since he lived in Tokyo. A-bee, who is the arranger, has been a mainstream Japanese artist since 2007, Arashi, Hey! Say! JUMP and other arrangements are made, and their rich musical tones and delicate ⻛ grids are unforgettable. Immi, who is a composer and harmonist, has been active in the Japanese and overseas music scenes as a mainstream musician, and now mainly performs music as a composer.
Electrostatic Field Shuo served as the story script and creative director of the song's MV, where she portrayed the hackers who stole the mysterious artificial intelligence program Electric Dreams. Wearing the "Inner Universe Power Plant" overalls, she came to the mysterious forest, activated the hidden mysterious mechanism with a synthesizer, and presented the downloaded program in the sky, and the hacker in reality and the artificial intelligence reality that was projected were transformed into a plane that did not belong to the moment and was freed. The scene of the artificial intelligence program in the music video was also filmed in the meditation space of Japanese designer YOSHIROTTEN in the art hotel BnA_WALL tokyo.
The spirit of the songwriter felt the influence of the 1984 film of the same name, Electric Dreams. Released in the 1990s in the Chia Tai Theatre, the film tells a series of interesting emotional stories about the passage of beer into computer movements and human beings. For many people, these are childhood memories. When composing this song, electrostatic field Shuo used the same name to pay tribute to this work that influenced the childhood of a generation. In the story setting and lyric writing, whether it is to liberate the machine's mind from the carrier that traps him/her, or to liberate the human being from the fixed mode of thinking, the core theme of "release" is always the core theme.
"Electric Dreams" is like a repetitive dialogue between humans and artificial intelligence, a constant temptation between the original self and the object. The song incorporates elements of synth electronic dance music with 90s elements, Synthwave, New Retrowave, etc. in the arrangement. After entering the 21st century, people are surrounded by artificial objects, and the boundary between virtual and reality is increasingly blurred. The connection between man and artificial technology derived from the lyrics, the entanglement between human nature and intellect, is also in line with the problem that artists often ponder and face--what kind of situation it would be if we found that we are also a programmed program, imprisoned in hardware, just as our minds are trapped in the flesh.
