Ancient Lasers: You in the Future

Ancient LasersLA musician Daniel Finfer’s inspiration for blend­ing accel­er­at­ing tech­nolo­gies with music may sound famil­iar to many of you. Five years ago, he was struck by how few pop songs really had a mean­ing­ful mes­sage, and at the same time he was read­ing Ray Kurzweil’s The Sin­gu­lar­ity is Near.

Fin­fer got the idea for cre­at­ing songs that explored the themes of the Sin­gu­lar­ity under the guise of pop music. While his lyrics may sound like they are a stereo­typ­i­cal explo­ration of love, romance, and youth­ful bravado, they are actu­ally “a con­ver­sa­tion between my future and present selves, I’m sort of talk­ing back and forth through time.”
