Bliss by Alice Does Computer Music

You will own nothing, and when you wonder what that’s doing to people, you’ll be reassured in the most patronizing possible voice. For a generation condemned not to own their homes, their art, their labor, memories provide an immutable sort of ownership that may serve as our only comfort. This form of spiritual ownership we take of the spaces we remember comes to life on the soundscapes of Bliss by Alice Does Computer Music, an ambient electronic tour through moments which will always live as copies on the shelf of the mind. Field recordings of real, precious memories intermingle with captivating beats and stunning synthetic atmosphere, a thoughtfully minimalist sound that gives us a slowed, savored version of the past. This impressionist, emotional distortion gives us ownership of a place and time in ways material reality could never reflect, as equally stunning symphonies play out for others we’ve shared the space with, and our own songs play out for us and us alone.
