Telescopic Murmur
A Distant Voices Response
The System Visual
We used the AI image producer NeuralBlender.com to create images based on the themes and concepts present throughout the project development.
about
Telescopic Murmur is a project in two parts. The first is a two track EP exploring the themes of crime and punishment, the Justice System, rehabilitation and reintegration of ex-offenders, and how we encourage dialogical conversation as a way of resolving pain and trauma. The two songs act as a way to explore the human response and emotion of the entirety of the Justice System - specifically how it works in Scotland - from our individual perspectives. They look at the emotional, visceral, truly human experience of a very complex and emotive topic.
The second part of the Telescopic Murmur project is a series of images produced using AI as a visual representation of the unfeeling "System" governing justice globally. The Justice System - arguable part of the wider system machine - is built to evaluate cold facts, whilst striping both offenders and victims of their emotions; something that can be just as harmful when seeking justice. The images were produced with selected verbal concepts, ideas and lyrics in order to display the musical, emotional concepts in an unfeeling context.
