Please enjoy your stay on Planet Earth. - For me, Bach’s music is not only as good as music...

Linear A.
Ancient language, lost to the modern day. Largely undecipherable.

So this got me to thinking . . . what if machines do have a subconscious of their own? What if machines right now are like human babies, which have brains but no way of expressing themselves except screaming (crashing)? What would a machine's subconscious look like? How does it feed off what we give it? If machines could talk to us, what would they say?

For me, Bach’s music is not only as good as music gets, but also as good as it gets, period — as good as existence, reality, life and the world. The Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, specifically the first movement, Allegro, has all the joy, beauty and exhilarating quality of human life at its best. The energy and exuberance in the melody and the attitude of the rhythm are as powerful to me as any rock ‘n’ roll song, as energizing as any techno dance music, as driving and thrilling as any punk or heavy metal.

— Andrew W.K.
