> I’ve read where you’ve said “Grimoire Blanc” acts as the centerpiece to Automated Refrains. What did you mean by that? Dan Terminus: It’s the track that contains the motto of the album, so to speak: pity for the perceived lifelessness which is in fact never truly lifeless. If there ever was a track to describe what it’s like to be a sentient machine, then it would be this one. It’s the less optimistic track on an album that’s totally not relying on a positive mood. Although “Grimoire Blanc” hits quite hard, it’s a reminder of ‘la condition humaine’ applied to machines, and the fact that we should always keep in mind that any sentient creation is just like us. “Grimoire Blanc” is trying to bring up some ideas, questions and thoughts about what it’s like to be a self-aware artificial creation in a world where the ‘makers,’ the ‘creators’ are long gone. Maybe I’m taking this too far, but it’s also like sending a sentient machine out there in space on the other end of the galaxy without intending to bring it back home, or using a sentient artificial being for rough sexual fantasies without caring for the machine’s thoughts and emotions. If the creators don’t feel compassion for their sentient creations, then who will? If the sentient creations are left to their own device in newly obtained freedom, then what happens next? That’s what “Grimoire Blanc” is about.
