Enrique Bunbury, emblematic icon of our rock, has gone through Rockfm to chat, on the occasion of the departure of his new album, ‘Pending accounts’, with our partner Marta Vázquez. You have the entire interview above.
About artificial intelligence
“We are very concerned with developing artificial intelligence … and I say: we are going to start with the natural one. There is much to develop. Then, if you want, we already develop the artificial one. Or this is because we do not want to develop the natural … then that the robots and machines work for us.”
About the analog and natural
“I like natural things. I am not the man of caverns either. I like to ask for some boots by Amazon, of course, like everyone else. And when I am hungry, I like to ask for some food. Certain comforts are fine, but others … you know.”
About the use of the art in art
“Robe told me that he asked Chatgpt who had made one of his covers … and replied that I. I do not remember what it was, but, hey, put to get into another profession, design covers of robe or extremoduro records is not a bad start. ”
About the algorithm in music
“I have no idea how the algorithm works, but what I am clear is that it is not innocent. It is directed, and there is a series of parameters that make some artists be above others. It’s like in bureaucracy: they put the paper on top of the pile … or underneath. Putting into the algorithm is abandoning our bad luck. You have to take the lead: search for oneself, inform yourself, listen to people with criteria. Not everything should depend on a machine. ”
About the new album ‘Pending Accounts’
“I’m glad you say you have been short, because in reality that was the measure. I am trying to make records with the duration of vinyl, for me that is the measure of all things: face A, face B, and that I do not exceed forty minutes. It seems a very affordable duration and consistent with how I understand music.”
About its withdrawal in 2022 and health problems
“The day after the concert I had a shattered throat. That was the physical discomfort of the tour, but then the psychological part was… Face to cancel all the logistics. We were more than twenty on tour. Send everyone home was hard. Then, already in my house, with many tests, I found someone who gave the mystery. I even came to think that it was something psychological, a rejection of the concerts. Covid, but no.
