The past is eating the future. This is our age. Like a false start. We can’t get together until the end of time. It’s just that I don’t want to be on my own right now. (I’m sorry but I love this song) This room has no windows. Annihilation of space by time. Overcoming spatial barriers, speeding up, limitless growth. There are no doors either. Just a bunch of screens. Looking for a new TV series to watch? “Sustainable capitalism vs Military intelligence” Just look around you. Terabyte after terabyte of memory waiting to be filled. Yes, for sure, there is something real outside, but you will never find nature. We still believe that nature is over there, that it exists apart from our technology. But Nature is an empty category looking for something to fill it. “Funny weather last week, wasn't it?” Sure, because the world evaporated two years ago. And now the objects are taking revenge. They are taking control with false memories. They are keeping secrets, they are rewriting history. Dog days. Everything is enlightened but I can’t see clearly myself. Am I going to be tracked through my entire lifecycle? Am I the stuff of a deep dream? Am I Spime?

about

«Just as we are entangled in this systematic chaos, by refining our perception and exploring the subtle gradations that make up the grey, we may begin to understand the intricate variations of reality.» - SPIME.IM

Turin-based audiovisual collective SPIME.IM is thrilled to announce their highly anticipated album ‘Grey Line’. The release explores the intricate nuances of the grey scale within the contemporary landscape, encapsulating the complexities of human experiences and the choices we encounter in an interconnected society.

With ‘Grey Line’, SPIME.IM continue to carve out their distinct place among contemporary music innovators, balancing between - and deconstructing - various club genres. Each track is intimately connected to a specific gradation of grey, creating a unique musical journey through the nuances of existence. The album also features two exceptional guests: Stina Fors and Lorem. Stina Fors contributes her captivating vocals to the opening track ‘Crystal’, adding a concealed human element to the mix. It is a genuine human voice that assumes the role of an artificial one. Lorem, in ‘Pure’, performs the exact opposite. He utilises trained AI models to incorporate hip hop screamo vocals, bringing a sleek and intense touch to the album, and blurring the boundaries between human and artificial voices. This unique fusion enhances the album’s experimental essence and pushes the boundaries of musical collaboration. SPIME.IM explain: «In an era filled with contradictions and uncertainties, we delve into the emotional landscape we find ourselves in — an interval between the decline of the old and the construction of the new». ‘Grey Line’ offers a pathway to escape the monotony and embrace the richness and diversity hidden within the greyscale, promising to be a thought-provoking and immersive musical experience that allows listeners to explore the nuances of diverse gradations of reality.
