<h3>Powered by reCAPTURE</h3>
<p>Many websites want to prevent bots from accessing their data, so they use countermeasures such as <Link link="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA" type="link">CAPTCHAs</Link>. These typically include a piece of warbled text that you gotta copy, or a checkbox saying “I am not a bot”.</p>
<p>This track recontextualizes the phrase when it comes to robots and their journey to get closer to human behavior. Are they aware of their true nature? Should they strive to become human? Does it even matter? I wonder how Sunnexo feels about this.</p>

<h2>Sound design</h2>
<p>For this particular track I wanted to use some older sample packs like the ones by Vengeance Sound, but also even older ones such as the Zero-G CDs. They’re so cheesy but so much fun at the same time. I believe artists like Hideki Naganuma used the Zero-G ones back in the day, a notable example being Jet Set Radio’s soundtrack. Nowadays these packs are available <Link link="https://archive.org/details/zero-gee-sample-pack_202302" type="link">on the Internet Archive</Link>.</p>

<p>I also used a bunch of resampling techniques in the track, such as the glitchy piano. I made a few random chords and chopped them up using a slicer to rearrange the sequence into something stuttery. Resampling is a recurring theme in this album, I love doing it!</p>
<p>Another thing I’d like to mention is this synth called <Link link="https://fors.fm/junior" type="link">Junior by Fors</Link>, it’s a recreation of the Game Boy’s wavetable as a modern VST plugin. I used it to create some of the old school growls and basses and love the way it sounds!</p>
<Link link="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BcYZKgz33n8" type="link" block />
<p>It’s DRM free and cheap, unheard of nowadays when it comes to VSTs. And the demo video goes extremely hard…</p>

<p>The music video contains background footage taken from a game called <Link link="https://neal.fun/not-a-robot/" type="link">I’m not a robot</Link>, created by Neal.fun! I highly recommend checking it out, it runs in the browser.</p>
