Pat Berlinquette – “Old New York”
Americana Highways is hosting this premiere of Pat Berlinquette’s song “Old New York,” which was produced by Kenny Siegal at Old Soul Studios; engineered and mixed by Matthew Cullen, and mastered by Greg Calbi.
“Old New York” is Pat Berlinquette on vocals; Jon LaDeau on guitar; Brion Snyder on piano; Brandon Morrison on bass; and Lee Falco on drums. Pat has a striking singing voice, in the classic style of Tony Bennett or a country Frank Sinatra or Pat Boone. This song highlights the concepts of the conflicting dilemmas and moral quandaries that Artificial Intelligence involves. The song celebrates the glories of being able to stroll through Old New York (virtually) while at the same time acknowledging some of the pitfalls of what A.I. will bring, and indeed is already bringing.
My job in Google adTech makes me think about our future symbiosis with A.I. & Neuralink. Hopefully it ends up being a mutualistic relationship, not a parasitic one. Either way, in our lifetimes, we might go somewhere (like a virtual, classic New York) simply by thinking about it. Maybe can bring someone with us…on opposing sides of the world, but connected through thought.
There will be couples in this future—where one person is hesitant to succumb to being an early adopter, while the other person is trying to convince of its wonders…rattling off the pros and cons (minimizing the cons if they have skin in the game).
“Old New York” is about this push and pull. – Pat Berlinquette
