About “Coscienza Cibernetica” The song captures the essence of our current millennium, portraying a modern individual as a stark reminder of humanity’s gradual slide into dehumanization. In this narrative, the protagonist—central to both the song and the accompanying book—feels “sottomesso” (subjugated) and “prigioniero” (imprisoned) by an “electronic conscience,” symbolizing a life constrained and marginalized by technology.
Through the song’s journey, we explore the deep suffering and isolating nature of this technological solitude. It highlights the façade of “knowledge” that hides behind screens, often presenting a reality that is distorted or non-existent. As the song progresses, it culminates in a powerful cry asserting that humanity is, and will always be, “figlio della terra” (children of the earth). This declaration resonates with the overarching themes of the concept album “A mezz’aria sul tempo,” where the compositions traverse the realms of Head and Heart, Man and Earth, and Nature and Humanity.
We wish you a good journey and happy listening. Thanks, Overture.
