The Algorithm - 'userspace' (official music video)

- Userspace is how melancholia in Tron would sound like. It's a very different piece from everything I've done but also one of my favorites, as it shows a lot of fragility and authenticity in an often too polished digital world.
The atmosphere of the video was thought to create the same impact, and I'm proud of the guys at Opaque for what they managed to put together. Enjoy!
Here is the new music video for the track 'userspace' from the new album Brute Force out April 1st!
As part of the pre-orders I am also doing a very limited edition of the album available on a floppy disk containing the songs as MIDI tracks.

5:22 Very strategic slap-bass; I like it.
man this still slaps so gat damn hard to this day and on.
absolutely
The video is gold.
Linux kernel code spotted: (groups.c) 1:47
This code manages groups in linux. (notice it includes user_namespace.h)

(yes i'm a nerd)
+I_I That's kinda fun when you think about it. Kernel code and the music title is "userspace"... nerd jokes!
I'm a nerd, but I clearly haven't reached your level of nerdom yet as I don't know what a usersapce is and I have no idea how it relates to a Linux kernal! Am curious though, if you feel like explaining it. Just a word of warning though, if it makes absolutely no sense to me, I may possibly move on. :/ :P
In order to protect memory from malicious usage and fatal error, it is separated into two space.
Kernel space : Where drivers , system calls happily live, away from the evil user so you don't have shitty blue screen / kernel panic.
User space : Where applications can get their good good memory mon .
My space : Nobody wants you myspace even my comment.
Each process (applications) in Userspace can't have access to the memory used by another application, unless they are design to do so (using IPC and shit), so you can't run an application that would get information / break another application.
Let's imagine you want to break into/crash a web server, first objective would be (for example) to find a way to send a lot of invalid request (a brute force) to the web server that will ,thought a bug ,fuck up the memory to make it behave erratically , modify his behaviour so you can run a command to the machine (a shellcode) or that would accidentally return an information that shouldn't be available.
Heartbleed, is an example of how memory leak can have catastrophic implication.
Heartbleed used a vulnerability in SSL certificate (this is use to protect website/terminal for example).
When your computer checks the SSL server, you send back and forth a heartbeat message, if this message is too long , this fucked up the server response which would answer with the correct answer + part of his memory, if you have access to random part of the memory of the application it will in the end tell you accidentally password , master key and shit.
TL;DR Userspace is where applications store their variables and shit so if you can fuck up userspace memory you are the boss.
You are also a genius :D
this right here.... is what i've been looking for, i have known the algorithm for a while, but this song... is just perfect.... refined synths, perfectly structured, paced, and toned, i need more, industrial doesn't do it anymore for me, nor "new retro wave"... this is it, there has to be bands out there producing more stuff like this,... and honestly, the algorithm should produce more songs like this
If all the songs have the same feel...then none have the same feel. Programmed in the Algorithm of our brains.
check out akido-blink
I like the subtle nods to the matrix in this video.
This videoclip is art !
This song deserves much more attention. This is the most underappreciated song in 2016...
Killer song. Video definitely had a Black Mirror vibe to it. Technology is an addictive drug.
This song needs more recognition
Very nice indeed. "...fragility and authenticity in an often too polished digital world." - great description!
r3mi pls
good job, no words for this, such a unique sound, reminds a bit of Autoron
good comment and all.. but.. dude... that profile pic... . . .ughgh... fkc off dude. change it XD
Both song and video are unbelievably well made, this deserves a lot more views
This is fucking great. Would love an album with this vibe.
Groovey!
This is absolutely genius!

This makes me so high !
Wow you here ! what a beautiful surprise
The perfect soundtrack of Mr. Robot!
ure right! ♡
... not the best show for this perfect sound though. Mr Robot is a bit meh, when this is total oui.
I am in the new Algorithm Music Video. Fuck yeah ! I love your Music Remi !
the setting with the biker girl (and the blue string) totally reminded me of Durarara. Awesome.
+Tony Marko Yes thank you :)
I love the direction you took on this song! It's so different from your other stuff! It's probably one of my favorites! Please if you do another album, try to add some more of this style in! It's amazing!
This músic is post rock-idm for me but i consider the algorithm djent
Love this song so much
Tellement différent, et tellement génial. J'écoute en boucle depuis 4 jours, c'est grisant.
Les concerts à Paris et Toulouse les 23 et 29 avril étaient énormes ! :) Vraiment bravo, pour tout cet univers, cette créativité et ces émotions, depuis les premiers enregistrements jusqu'aux plus récents, et surtout merci. Ta musique est une de celles qui me transportent le plus.
PS : Les midi tracks sont super cool, la prochaine fois on veut les projets Ableton ;)
this has an a e s t h e t i c feel
Awesome Track.
I love how the Algorithm surprises me with every song. Can't wait to see you next week in Prague.
3:29 is the best ! Trippy song, I love it
Just WOW.
Aahhhh merci pour ceci Rémi humble génie.
Quand tu fais notre bonheur de ton labeur c'est toujours une partie gagnée.
Montréal c'est pour bientôt l'ami. :D
J'suis impatient de te rencontrer et d'me bourrer la gueule de ta nouvelle cuisine.
_Garou le barbu_
Very cool Rémi love the direction. You're an inspiration, you should feel like a badass.
Look mom, im on youtube!
This song is perfect
Mmmm that was nice, it was like a dream where it feels real but really distant at the same time.
You should totes make a vapor wave remix of this one lol
Can you PLEASE make more like this? This is my favorite song by far by you :D
Yes lad!! never fail to amaze me!
wow great video and music, fits together really well.
awesome.
i Listen the last album i think AWESOME thiz french is fucking fantastic!!!!
The thing is... we need more!
I'm in love with this song Rémi !
Beautiful work
I can't help to like what you do since I listened to Polymorphic Code.. even more now you're putting more guitar in it!! haha Very colourful and authentic... Greetings from Chile!
awesome
This is so amazing
This is fucking awesome, this kind of versatility is what makes you so good, looking forward to the new album to leaRELEASE
This is one of your best works in my opinion, though its different what I've heard from you before. I can't wait till I get this album in my mailbox, this shit is dope x)
says the guy in the video clip 😂
oui
This is really good.
holy moly it’s rimworld
subbed...after listenin to pointers and coming here.
i love it
beautiful
oui indeed
fucking soothing great work as always
Mr.Robot? :o
Il fait voyager ce son :)
Donc il nous faut un headset VR pour pouvoir se procurer Brute Force sur un floppy?
Plus sérieusement, l'album sur floppy, excellente idée. Gimme pls.
♡ I love it
It's surely about machine consciousness and personal space, as kernal space (in computer science) is the part of the machine's functionality that does not accept user involvement, it is a basic part of the operating system), just like humans need personal space, so too do machines (to perform their processes). It would just muck up our system/s if there were access to the depths of our beings although I suppose this is slightly different with humans as there are people you would let really close to you.
Got the 100K view. Nice.
music? oui! video? Mais oui!
Pls Remy joue le le 04 a Vienne
ce son est déja devenu un instant classique pour moi
Je t'achète tout ton merch si tu le fait
Круто !
da eto zhi letov!
awe-some
Not impressed with the video, but the song is amazing.
The pads and harmonies in the last part, starting from 4:39 remind me of Castlevania OST which is a good thing.
reminds me a little bit of old Infected
someones been playing hotline miami 👌
daora d+
This song could be in the game Hotline Miami, So awesome !
Yesss.
Es-tu en train de nous expliquer qu'il faut s'acheter un lecteur disquette pour ton album ? Tu es un vrai Gérard, Rémi. Mais sinon nice work :P
oh my GOD, you look like Mozart, very similar❤️💐 I dreamed about you🦇💋
Hi from Ukraine! U AWERSOME!
was is das sintesyzers?
Sounds like Trevor Something to me in the first part.
Does anyone know any other artists who write music like this?
Thanks I'll check them out
hardcode on 1:47 (
