L’Makina (The Machine) is a song about the phonograph composed by the Moroccan musician Haj Belaid in the 1930s. Observing the machine’s ability to precisely reproduce human speech, the poet contemplated whether he should stop making verses, commenting also on social changes brought by mechanization at the time. The song serves as a starting point for conversations on AI sound technology and music experiments with musicians Ali Faiq and Idr Bazrou.
