Humalien – Silvetone's album was created at the turning point of this century. At a time when humanity is redefining itself in the cosmos in the face of digital high technologies that are spreading across the planet at breakneck speed with unknown consequences. Who are we? Are we already star riders? Humaliens? Or just images of them, stylised by thousands of pictures that reach us on all channels? What value do we give ourselves? The individual is interchangeable in the masses, a copy of a copy – it is difficult to create one's own identity, because everything has already been lived, in thousands of versions, before us, right now, often in better versions than our own. We sink into the masses and rise again every day, taking our first step barefoot on the earth and marvelling at how the world unfolds before our eyes. Everything and nothing is possible now. Silvetone provides the soundtrack.
It's one man: Silvetone – at home in the land of mountains and chocolate. Programmed melodies, rhythms, sounds, and lyrics create this new, haunting mixture. Under construction – Silvetone's thing is sound, working on it, distorting it, editing it. And the text, letting it guide the way, the dramaturgy, all combined compositionally into an organic acoustic until the very end. And what results from this? Is it pop? Perhaps experimental pop? Spoken word? No, not really. The search for categorization is still ongoing.
Everything audible is arranged by Silvetone.
