Machine of Change is a song about remaking the world.  

How do you change the world?  How do you change your mind?  In the song Machine of Change, I work though how such remaking starts with just a single spark of vulnerability invited not through force but by loving kindness.  Believing in someone's potential is contagious and can chain-react, changing everything. 

In this production, I primarily use monophonic synthesizer patches and keyboard envelope percussion sourcing from a pink noise generator.

Machine of Change (words and music by Sean Riley)

I built a machine of change
Set to maximum range  
Powered with a flame of hope
Yes I'm a misanthrope

Dimming fear and spite
While warming the lonely night
With my machine of change
Distopia is rearranged

There's no violence in my design
It's method is anodyne 
I believe in you

I built a machine of change
Set to maximum range  
Powered with a flame of hope
Yes I'm a misanthrope
