  • Summary

  • An albatross flying around a ship in the middle of the ocean was an omen of storms, wind and bad weather to come. It was also very unlucky to kill it because sailors thought that the souls of deceased sailors inhabited the albatross. Enjoy the poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1797 - The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

The Crime of the A.I Mariner

This is like listening to a Beethoven symphony on the Stylophone or an 8-bit Opera. What's next, Kubla Khan read by R2-D2? Top marks for experimentalism though. Love you x

It began with a recital of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner read by computer. No soul. Utterly awful.

The decision to have the Rime of the Ancient Mariner read by a computer made this unlistenable. I switched off immediately.
