Sleeping Beautiesshare
Electric guitar masterpieces - deactivated and sent to a 100-year sleep.

Artificial intelligence is now creating music. Increasingly. It's cheap, easy, and fast. But what would be the point of AI created music other than "audio decoration"? What about the ability of humans to express feelings and emotions through playing an instrument? What about music as a catalyst for human development and evolution? What if the deepest soul-connected human expression and communication skill would regress? What if in 100 years, human-handmade music - serving as cultural development companion – almost disappeared?

Jens Ritter wants to make people aware of the current situation of a possible decline in genuine, handmade music! By sending THE SLEEPING BEAUTIES to the future to keep symbolically the magic of the electric guitar culture alive for future generations!
Music instrument masterpieces of highest sound quality, finest tone woods combined with exceptional materials, temporarily declared as art, sealed and sent to sleep for 100 years. The electric guitar's purpose is sent to the future like astronauts in cryosleep. But the wake-up-date is clearly specified. A countdown of 36525 days until the guitar will sing again...

“The Sleeping Beauties are meaningful legacies to pass on to our grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They transport the cultural energy of the electric guitar's golden age which we have to communicate to future generations! The future owners who will wake up the Sleeping Beauties in 100 years will receive an important message!"
