New electronic pop song: "Who are you deep inside?"
19 noviembre, 2023
New Single Available: "Empty Floor"
"Empty Floor" is an emotional and profound musical work in the pop genre, composed by Juan Ramos and presented with a unique vocal interpretation by AI. This song delves into the complex world of introspection and solitude, presenting a rich and immersive lyrical tapestry.
The lyrics of "Empty Floor" explore the duality between the desire for connection and the need for isolation. The verses begin with a nuanced description of the rejection of daylight and the longing for the calm of night, symbolizing a state of reflection and retreat. The song progresses revealing an internal and emotional dialogue, where echoes of external calls are heard, attempting to penetrate a deeply guarded personal space.
The chorus resonates as a powerful reminder of the vulnerability and strength found at the heart of solitude. The melody, both moving and captivating, intertwines with the lyrics to create an auditory experience that is both intimate and universal.

The Machine in the Botanical Garden: An Album of Synthesized Poetry and Musical Innovation
Announcing the release of my new album for the project 'The Machine in the Botanical Garden.'
As with my previous work, this album is driven by sequences crafted with various machines, accompanied by musicalized poems written by 19th-century romantic female writers such as the Brontë sisters, Emily Dickinson, and George Elliot (Mary Ann Evans). Additionally, I have incorporated classical orchestral arrangements, mainly focusing on strings.By blending the industrial sequences of the machine with its distinct raw and evocative character, I juxtapose it with the delicate emotional quality of melody, harmony, and traditional elaborated counterpoint.
The main machines used in this album include Elektron's Syntakt, Arturia's Microfreak, Cre8audio's East Beast and West Pest, as well as small modular systems featuring components from Makenoise, Noise Engineering, Erica Synth, among others.
The voices have been programmed using Synthesizer V, with Natalie and Solaria as the main interpreters.
This album is a sonic exploration that invites listeners to immerse themselves in the meeting point of past and present, where the timeless words of these remarkable female poets intertwine with the cutting-edge sounds of synthesizers. It's a harmonious convergence of technological innovation and artistic expression, bridging the gap between eras and genres. Through the ethereal vocals programmed with Synthesizer V, Natalie and Solaria breathe life into the poetic verses, infusing them with emotion and creating a captivating narrative that resonates with the listener's soul.

Musicalización del poema "Upon her soothing breast" de Emily Brontë
Nuevo trabajo para el proyecto que últimamente me tiene más absorbido: The Machine in the botanical garden.
Para este tema he musicalizado "Upon her soothing breast" de Emily Brontë. Este breve poema describe una escena de una madre que mece a su hijo en su regazo mientras observa la puesta de sol de invierno en el oeste. La imagen es descrita como una "gloria desoladora", lo que sugiere que hay algo bello en la escena, pero también una sensación de tristeza o melancolía. En general, el poema trata de la dualidad de la belleza y la tristeza, y cómo ambas emociones pueden coexistir en un momento dado.
La parte instrumental, como en todos los trabajos de este proyecto, esta realizada con la fusión de maquinas e instrumentos acústicos. En este caso un pequeño sistema modular y un cuarteto de cuerda.
Para la estructura de la canción, como se puede ver en el video, modifico el número de paso del secuenciador que ya tengo programado con ocho pasos que disparan la nota y la modulación del amplificador. Esto genera variaciones dentro del compás principal realmente inspiradoras.
A cargo de la voz se encuentra la IA Natalie con su amplio registro y calidez.

Harp of wild and dream like strain
When I touch thy strings,
Why dost thou repeat again
Long-forgotten things?
Harp, in other, earlier days,
I could sing to thee;
And not one of all my lays
Vexed my memory.
But now, if I awake a note
That gave me joy before,
Sounds of sorrow from thee float,
Changing evermore.
Yet, still steeped in memory's dyes,
They come sailing on,
Darkening all my summer skies,
Shutting out my sun.

Nuevo álbum con voces generadas por inteligencia artificial
Hoy publico un nuevo álbum en las principales plataformas digitales con nueve temas compuestos por mi e interpretados por Solaria y Natalie, dos voces generadas por inteligencia artificial. Este álbum forma parte del proyecto "The machine in the botanical garden" que desarrollo desde el canal de youtube del mismo nombre y en el que combino el sonido crudo de maquinas y sintetizadores con instrumentos acusticos y voces melodicas. Las letras pertenecen a poemas de autoras del siglo XIX como Emily Brontë, Emily Dickinson o Mary Shelley. Pasado, presente y futuro se dan la mano. Espero que os guste.
