Music career

A member of the Berlin electronica scene, Monolink quickly broke away from the classic DJ set and instead created his own style with a combination of live vocals and instruments.[1] SF Weekly describes him as a purveyor of "trippy relaxation with a slightly gravelly, Teutonic voice".[2] Monolink collaborated with other electronic acts, including Acid Pauli.[3]

Monolink released his debut album, Amniotic, in 2018. The recording combines the tradition of singer-songwriting with electronic dance music, where techno, electronica and ambient genres blend with influences of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan.[1] Two singles from the release, "Sirens" and "Swallow" appeared at No. 1 spot in the iTunes Electronic (Germany). A review in EDM Identity describes the songs from the album as consisting of "hypnotic beats and vocals" and as "a blend of both deep and happy melodic sounds".[4]

Discography

gollark: GPT-3 apparently already reaches "plausibly human-written if you're not concentrating much", and apparently the architecture scales quite nicely.
gollark: Rust is a neat language.
gollark: Sounds fun.
gollark: It would be interesting if they scaled it up another order of magnitude or two.
gollark: Neural network stuff, and the fancy GPT models, tend to be better, but also far more complex and computationally intensive.
