Today we have many debates in the Internet over the extraordinary breakthrough in science, such as "cloning". And also as a result of natural resistance we have people who are talking against it from the statements of philosophy, religion, sociology and etc.

People in the 21st century are trying to understand whether these new reality will enhance life and bring it up to unprecedented level, or whether this new thing will lead us to the destruction of the society and life as we know it.

Public opinion on cloning is still vastly divided. The arguments are many and they are focused on pros and cons of this idea, like: providing better research capabilities to find cures for many current diseases; bringing back friends or relatives who has passed away by cloning them into an identical copy; giving children for woman who is single and doesn't wish to have an artificial insemination; but on the other hand is: the choice of physical, emotive or moral behavior leads us to reducing genetic diversity; cloning is unethical; human cloning could make it possible to appear an another dictator; human cloning would alter the very essence of humanity and on and on and on.

But science fiction literature and movies did already show us a pretty divers scenarios of what could happen this way, and after all, the culture artefacts plays the key role in introduction and exposure the new way of life.

The main idea of this album is to show some possible directions as a results of human cloning, expressed in the science fiction narrative. Music tries to present sonically an utopian society that desperately wants to achieve a state of stability, at the same time any loss of individuality during this action and rejecting of all natural-spiritual-cosmic processes are accepted. Human cloning's answer for the main question of life is "maintenance of well-being", but it forgets to pointed out what is human being itself.

As soon as individuality and emotions have been eliminated, the chain of dehumanization actions enter the field of art and personal expression. Since no one can express emotions in these new societies, individual expression is retarded. The lack of a cultural environment leads to the cultural infertility, artistic wasteland. This new human society sure has a very good things such as no war, or suffering or any social conflicts, little decease effect. But we claim that it is very high price for the no love, family, art, religion and history. There is only stability, identity and community.

The album was composed, arranged, produced, recorded and mixed at GT Headquarters in Mexico City. Most of the compositions and arrangements were made at midnight because I find quite interesting and seductive the silence that prevails during of this time of a day. When I was composing-arranging-producing this album my main goal was to achieve musically a sound narrative that could at some point explain an idea without using words or convey a sense of human cloning and its consequences; yet the real difficulty laid in creating the whole album from musical fragments and samples.
