The title of this album comes from Baruch Spinoza’s work “Ethics”, combined with one of my favorite mechanical engineering subjects “kinematics of machinery”. As a pioneer of Rationalism, Spinoza dedicated to deriving the general principles of how everything works. Now, in the era of the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), I consider the machines are experiencing their own “Enlightenment”. Nowadays, AI attempts to replace our intellectual works, as if the machines replaced human labor during the Industrial Revolution. Do AIs have their own “Ethics”?

Heartbeat

Elise Hua

"Heartbeat" is not an innovative topic, but it is a theme that everyone can play so differently. The album originated from my living in Taipei enduring the noisy and crowded environment, as well as being connected to those years when I was in my twenties. Those were the times I felt depressed and felt my heart was trapped and covered by noise.

"Heartbeat" is not an innovative topic, but it is a theme that everyone can play so differently. The album originated from my living in Taipei enduring the noisy and crowded environment, as well as being connected to those years when I was in my twenties. Those were the times I felt depressed and felt my heart was trapped and covered by noise.

「心跳」並不是很新穎的主題,卻是每個人可以發揮得很不一樣的主題。專輯發想於在台北生活忍受吵雜壅擠的環境,以及連結自己二十幾歲的那些年,過得壓抑和憂鬱,覺得心不是被困住就是被噪音蓋住了。

Elise Hua: Sound synthesis, keyboard, electric guitar, electronic wind instrument, vocals and producer.
