Do you trust me?
Do you know who I am?
Am I someone, or just some pixels on your screen?
Were these words thought by a human brain, or predicted by a machine?
What is real?
Look at some reels.
Look at more reels.
The tape rewinds instantly now.
Loop it.
Remix it.
Get bored for a split second.
Keep looking at your screen.
Is your attention still here?
Are you still with me?
Have you even bothered to think about any of the questions above?
Ok, I’ll give you the brief.
Hardcore rock band Veg. released their short debut single “Technology” on the 10th of March from Birmingham, United Kingdom.
How do you discuss epistemological luddism in less time than Spotify would recognize as a song? Veg. did it with “Technology” and their statement on the side effect of the technological warfare on attention is appropriately and ironically brief in its own right
With a song structure that could have been padded out to a lengthier track, the brevity of “Technology” is very much an intentional choice.
Veg. challenge traditional notions of what a song is, which inspired me to challenge the form of the conventional song review myself. Now, what are you going to challenge?
