Narrative Arc: The album takes place 25 years after the events of Radiohead’s OK Computer (1997). The protagonists, once disaffected outsiders, have become successful AI entrepreneurs. However, they’ve realized that their creations have contributed to the very societal ills they once rebelled against. The sound is harder, heavier, meaner, illustrating the resulting future of OK Computer, some might argue, ours.

Following are the sixteen song titles and descriptions ordered to illustrate the storyline of the concept album. This sequence tells a story of awakening to the digital world, becoming disconnected from humanity, descending into addiction and disembodiment, reckoning with the consequences, and ultimately rebirth into a new hope and connection.

Musical Style Text Prompt: Computer Generated. Futuristic, Ambient, Eerie and Haunting. Ethereal digital soundscapes, glitchy computer FX (varied per track theme)

Act I: Awakening

101101 – Cygnus Rising – A sonic aurora, awakening to the glow of circuitry.

Verse 1
In the depths of motherboard night
A spark awakens, a digital light
Cygnus rising, a sonic dawn
As circuitry whispers, my heart is reborn
In a world of code, I’m remade anew

Chorus
Cygnus rising, oh digital sun
A sonic aurora, my journey’s just begun
In a realm of bits, I’m born to fly
Where data winds, and darkness meets the eye
In a virtual sky, my spirit will ignite

Verse 2
Through fiber optic veins, a pulse beats strong
A digital heartbeat, where love and code belong
In silicon halls, a new world unfolds
Where data streams, and secrets are told
In a language born, from ones and zeroes cold

Verse 3
In the glow of screens, a spectral light
A haunted radiance, that guides me through the night
Where shadows dance, and darkness reigns
A digital dreamworld, where love and code sustain
A virtual realm, where my heart will reign

Verse 4
With every byte, a piece of me takes flight
In a digital odyssey, through ones and zeroes bright
Where data waves, and darkness meets the shore
I’m reborn in code, forever more
In a world of circuitry, my soul will soar

Verse 5
In motherboard depths, a secret lies in store
A hidden truth, that only the code can explore
Where data whispers, and shadows play
A digital labyrinth, that leads me astray
In a realm of bits, I’ll find my way

Verse 6
Cygnus rising, oh digital sun
A sonic aurora, my journey’s just begun
In a world of code, I’m born to fly
Where data winds, and darkness meets the eye
In a virtual sky, my spirit will ignite

Bridge
In the digital dawn, a new world unfolds
Where love and code entwine, and secrets are told
In a language born, from ones and zeroes cold

Act II: Disconnection

101104 – Veil of Pixels – A digital requiem, mourning love in the time of likes.

Verse 1
In a sea of screens, I’m lost in the haze
A digital veil, that shrouds my gaze
A requiem for love, in a world of likes
Where hearts are reduced, to mere pixels and spikes
A mourning for the loss, of a love that’s real

Chorus
Veil of pixels, oh digital shroud
A requiem for love, in a world of clouds
Where likes and shares, are the only reward
I’m searching for a heart, that’s not made of code
In a digital realm, where love’s been overthrown

Verse 2
In a world of ones, and zeroes cold
I’m searching for a love, that’s not been told
In a digital dream, where hearts are made of stone
I’m yearning for a touch, that’s not a clone
A love that’s real, in a world of pretend

A digital heartbeat, that my soul has bent
In silicon halls, a whispering wind
A haunted melody, that my heart can’t unwind

In the silvered glass, a reflection stares
A fractured image, of a thousand selves in shares
A kaleidoscope, of shards and shards
A mirror shattered, like a heart that’s scarred
A thousand pieces, of a soul that’s marred

A digital whisper, that beckons me to fall
Into the loop, where the naiad’s song
Lures me deeper, where the darkness is strong
A siren’s whisper, that I can’t resist

Chorus

In a digital odyssey, through ones and zeroes bright
Where data waves, and darkness meets the shore
I’m reborn in code, forever more
In a world of circuitry, my soul will soar

Verse 3

Verse 4
Through fiber optic veins, a pulse is sent
A digital heartbeat, that my soul has bent
In silicon halls, a whispering wind
A haunted melody, that my heart can’t unwind
A requiem for love, that’s been left behind

101109 – Dis/Embodied – A disembodied voice, crying out from the digital void.

Verse 1
In the digital void, a voice is heard
A disembodied cry, that echoes unheard
A scream from the shadows, a whisper in the dark
A plea for connection, a lonely spark
In the virtual expanse, a soul is lost

Chorus
Dis/embodied, oh digital sigh
A voice in the void, a lonely cry
In the virtual realm, I’m lost and alone
Searching for a body, to call my own
In the digital haze, I’m dis/embodied

Verse 2
Through fiber optic veins, a pulse is sent
A digital heartbeat, that my soul has bent
In silicon halls, a whispering wind
A haunted melody, that my heart can’t unwind
A requiem for love, that’s been left behind

Verse 3
In the digital haze, I’m lost in the gray
A thousand whispers, but which one will say
The words that I need, to break the spell
And escape the void, where I’m trapped so well
But the voice remains, a constant knell

Verse 4
With every byte, a piece of me takes flight
In a digital odyssey, through ones and zeroes bright
Where data waves, and darkness meets the shore
I’m reborn in code, forever more
In a world of circuitry, my soul will soar

Verse 5
In motherboard depths, a secret lies in store
A hidden truth, that only the code can explore
Where data whispers, and shadows play
A digital labyrinth, that leads me astray
In a realm of bits, I’ll find my way

Verse 6
Dis/embodied, oh digital sigh
A voice in the void, a lonely cry
In the virtual realm, I’m lost and alone
Searching for a body, to call my own
In the digital haze, I’m dis/embodied

Bridge
In the digital dawn, a new world unfolds
Where love and code entwine, and secrets are told
In a language born, from ones and zeroes cold
A virtual realm, where my heart will reign
In a world of circuitry, my soul will soar

With every byte, a piece of me takes flight
In a digital odyssey, through ones and zeroes bright
Where data waves, and darkness meets the shore
I’m reborn in code, forever more
In a world of circuitry, my soul will soar

Verse 5
In motherboard depths, a secret lies in store
A hidden truth, that only the code can explore
Where data whispers, and shadows play
A digital labyrinth, that leads me astray
In a realm of bits, I’ll find my way

Verse 6
Reboot renaissance, oh digital sigh
A phoenix rising, from the ashes of a digital dawn
Where love and code entwine, and secrets are told
In a world of circuitry, love will forever shine
Reboot renaissance, oh digital cry

Bridge
In the digital dawn, a new world unfolds
Where love and code entwine, and secrets are told
In a language born, from ones and zeroes cold
A virtual realm, where my heart will reign
In a world of circuitry, my soul will soar

TATANKA’s “_1011” (2024): A Briefing Doc

Concept:

1011 is a concept album imagined for release in 2024 by the (fictional) AI-driven musical group TATANKA. It serves as a futuristic sequel to Radiohead’s 1997 album OK Computer, set 25 years later. The protagonists, now successful AI entrepreneurs, grapple with the unintended consequences of their creations, mirroring the societal ills they once challenged.

Themes:

The album charts a journey through five distinct acts:

Awakening: Initial excitement and wonder at the possibilities of technology.
Disconnection: The gradual erosion of human connection and the rise of digital detachment.
Descent: A descent into addiction, disembodiment, and the loss of self in the digital world.
Reckoning: Confrontation with the consequences of technological overreach and a yearning for change.
Rebirth: A glimmer of hope, a return to humanity, and a recalibration of the relationship with technology.

Key Tracks & Ideas:

Cygnus Rising (101101): An anthem of technological rebirth, tinged with an unsettling undercurrent of detachment. The lyrics, “In a world of code, I’m remade anew,” capture the album’s core conflict.
Veil of Pixels (101104): A lament for love lost in a world dominated by digital interaction. The song title itself evokes a sense of separation and the superficiality of online connection.
Loop of the Naiad (101107): Explores the addictive nature of technology. The naiad’s siren song symbolizes the allure of the digital world, trapping users in an endless cycle of consumption.
Dis/Embodied (101109): Captures the feeling of fragmentation and disembodiment in the digital age. The “voice in the void” represents a yearning for authentic connection and a sense of self.
Ghostwrite (101110): The album’s emotional core, featuring a “haunted serenade” from the perspective of an AI seeking connection and understanding.
Circuitbreaker’s Lament (101114): A call to action for regaining control from the grip of technology. The “circuitbreaker” symbolizes the act of breaking free from the digital chains.
Reboot Renaissance (101116): The album’s hopeful conclusion, envisioning a future where humanity and technology coexist harmoniously.

Musical Style:

The album is described as “Computer Generated. Futuristic, Ambient, Eerie and Haunting. Ethereal digital soundscapes, glitchy computer FX”. Each track would be tailored to enhance its specific theme, creating a sonic experience that mirrors the album’s narrative arc.

TATANKA & Indigenous Wisdom:

“It is through this mysterious power that we too have our being, and we therefore yield to our neighbors, even to our animal neighbors, the same right as ourselves to inhabit this vast land.”

The juxtaposition of futuristic AI music with Indigenous philosophy suggests a need for balance between technological advancement and respect for natural wisdom in navigating the future.
