Giardini Oort crafts a cinematic & sonic manifesto with "Humans"

In a mesmerizing fusion of industrial grit and electronic mystique, the project "Humans" takes inspiration from the profound musings of Stephen Hawking on artificial intelligence and transcends into a reflection on the dichotomies of human nature. Channeling the stark influences of Nine Inch Nails, the project weaves together piano, synthesizer, and cello into a cinematic soundscape that delves into dark atmospheres, seamlessly blending industrial nuances.

The overarching concept of "Humans" stretches beyond the musical canvas, drawing parallels between human behavior and that of a virus. This thematic exploration serves as a profound commentary on our relationship with the planet, echoing the concerns articulated by Stephen Hawking. Much like the revelatory moment in "The Matrix" where Agent Smith likens humanity to a virus, the music of "Humans" questions our impact on the environment, encouraging introspection into the way we interact with the world around us.

The sonic landscape of "Humans" mirrors the complexity of its conceptual underpinnings. The industrial elements infuse the music with a raw, visceral energy. The electronic textures add layers of depth, creating an immersive experience that transports the listener into a realm where darkness and innovation coexist.

The piano, synthesizer, and cello, meticulously woven into the composition, contribute to the cinematic grandeur of the project. Each note becomes a brushstroke on a sonic canvas, painting a vivid picture of the dualities within human nature. The music serves as a mirror reflecting our contradictions, an exploration that extends beyond sound into the realms of philosophy and societal introspection.

At its core, "Humans" is a call to action, a musical manifesto urging us to confront the challenges we pose to the planet. In a world where the line between creation and destruction is often blurred, "Humans" navigates the murky waters of our impact on the environment with an artistic vision that is both thought-provoking and evocative.

Although the influences are certainly prevalent, there’s no doubt what Giardini has created here is 100% original. We’re loving this and urge everyone out there to click those links below to give it a spin!
