In /Ghost in the Shell/, the word /ghost/ is colloquial slang for an individual’s consciousness or soul. In the manga’s futuristic society, science has redefined the ghost as the thing that differentiates a human being from a biological robot. Regardless of how much biological material is replaced with electronic or mechanical substitutes, as long as individuals retain their ghost, they retain their humanity and individuality.
In our track we found a sonic representation of the retention of one’s soul. The core of this track is based on a tweaked sample that brings us the main motive of the track (soul), fighting to preserve humanity over a soundscape shaped by machines (synths, voltage, frequencies).
The title is a reference of today’s society and technology minoring or deteriorating what made us humans, until now.
We hope you'll enjoy this sonic scape and don't let machines change who you are. We send you all a warm hug :)
