SystematicStatic

Rather than hiding the role of artificial intelligence, Systematic Static treats it as part of the artistic condition of the present. These are not songs without a maker.

They are songs made by a human being using the strange new machinery of our time: prompted, shaped, selected, rewritten, directed and emotionally grounded by Marc Altink. The project began as a way to make songs out of atmosphere: music that feels as if it had been found in an old hotel room, on a night train, in a forgotten theatre, or in the static between two radio stations.

Over time it has grown into a body of work with its own visual and emotional world. A project for listeners who like arrangements with architecture, political undertow, literary resonance and emotional risk.
