technology, retrogression?
Most of my favorite music has a certain regressive vibe to it. Far from progress, far from advancement.
Staying in place and rippling. Going backwards and disappearing.
An album by a musician named methadrone (who collaborated with Nadja) that I really liked as a kid was titled "retrogression".
But the field I studied and work in - engineering - is a progressive discipline and industry. My favorite music and the industry I studied and worked in for so long are completely opposite in their fundamental nature.
In fact, I like to progress as much as I like to regress, so studying engineering is a good fit. I think it suits me because I can feel the fear of death in a situation where I'm pressed for time and the development doesn't work. I went through an incredibly schizophrenic period of being caught between these two fields, and I still haven't fully integrated them in myself.
There is no such thing as regression in engineering. Moore's Law. Technology advances at an insane rate. Vitality. Vitality. Alive. Speed. Advancement. Endless heartbeats. In musical terms, music with a hard beat. Electronic music with a fast beat that doesn't take a step back. When I listen to electronic or dance-pop, I think of this as the music that most closely synchronizes with engineering. Endlessly complex algorithms. The specification of cheaper and cheaper mechanical equipment. Artificial intelligence. Humans can't keep up. Advancing. Like a dance. Dynamically. Without regression
There is no regression in technology.
