Description
It starts with the name I chose for the artist. Techno-feudalism. An actual term coined by the economist Yanis Varoufakis, a concept which replaces capitalism. Basically it’s when tech companies use the sale of goods and services to mine personal data and essentially make their customers the product. But the song was really born from the age old fear of what technology is doing to humanity. And the song talks about the slow killing of the human spirit “humanicide” which may or may not lead to a physical annihilation, an outcome which remains to be seen.
Bio
Immerse yourself in the electronic realm of Techno-Feudalism, fusing genres to create musical and noize environments you want to live in. Our tracks resonate with themes of technology-driven control and media manipulation – a lone voice in the cacophony of digital mining of the human spirit. Techno-Feudalism is the brain child of Marc Jackson, an artist, composer and poet. Marc’s music can be heard in a wide range of media including trailers and teasers for shows like American Horror Story, Grotesquerie, Valhalla, The Marvel franchise for all of the major Hollywood studios.
Lyrics
Peeking out the door and watch the glaring star
invade the heart
scattering shadows of Erebos from the dark
My god it’s been days or weeks or years
I don’t recall
Moored to the mother board, the dark lord
of all
Embracing the tech of dreams
And we are the product
Of an unholy scheme
A slave to our own design
A god now but not divine
Tangled up knots in thought-cuffs locked in block chain auto bots
Grope the brain insite the pain. umbilical grips the one spot. shock terrified of what we made
We’re paralyzed
Inside of a maze
When fear is all we’ve got
Humanity will rot
Human aside
Step aside alright i’ll take it from here now
Human aside
Sell a soul for code nothing to fear now
Human aside
Sing along before long we’ll all be Humanicide
Humanicide Humanicide
Artificial heartbeats down the ravaged soul
out of control
Born to a rhythm of all that you stole
The maker of techno-dreams
Creator of nothing, you don’t even bleed
But i know your fallacy
You are nothing without me
pre-cs again
cs
bridge
I pour water on your brain
I pull the power from your veins
I cut your wires all your wires
So many wires it’s insane
I can power-surge your circuits
Cut the source of how you work it
I’m the virus, i’m your bane
I’ll teach you how to feel pain
You’ll know how to cease to be
You will know mortality
You will not be rid of me
You will not be rid of me
invade the heart
scattering shadows of Erebos from the dark
My god it’s been days or weeks or years
I don’t recall
Moored to the mother board, the dark lord
of all
Embracing the tech of dreams
And we are the product
Of an unholy scheme
A slave to our own design
A god now but not divine
Tangled up knots in thought-cuffs locked in block chain auto bots
Grope the brain insite the pain. umbilical grips the one spot. shock terrified of what we made
We’re paralyzed
Inside of a maze
When fear is all we’ve got
Humanity will rot
Human aside
Step aside alright i’ll take it from here now
Human aside
Sell a soul for code nothing to fear now
Human aside
Sing along before long we’ll all be Humanicide
Humanicide Humanicide
Artificial heartbeats down the ravaged soul
out of control
Born to a rhythm of all that you stole
The maker of techno-dreams
Creator of nothing, you don’t even bleed
But i know your fallacy
You are nothing without me
pre-cs again
cs

I pour water on your brain
I pull the power from your veins
I cut your wires all your wires
So many wires it’s insane
I can power-surge your circuits
Cut the source of how you work it

I’ll teach you how to feel pain
You’ll know how to cease to be
You will know mortality
You will not be rid of me
You will not be rid of me
