SAMO — بجري في المكان / Running in Place

In a post-human future, a cyborg called SAMO sings his own song while he is still being manufactured. Robotic arms assemble him, wire him, paint him and test him. He passes every benchmark — speed, impact, strength — and is sealed in a glass crate beside endless identical copies of himself. "Running in place" stops being a metaphor: fully built, going nowhere.

The track is Arabic trap about motion without progress — a busy mind, a lagging heart, a loop that never ends. The film takes every line literally: the faceless units around him, the glitch in his chest, the assembly running in reverse.

An official music video by Sameh Al Tawil, sponsored by Cyborg Studios. Every frame, sound and voice is generated — no set, no camera, no crew. Part of «إنسان آلي», an album made in collaboration with the machine.

Stream the track on SoundCloud. The methods, workflows and skills behind it — from writing and music to image and video — are laid out in Sameh's book, AI Guide | دليل الذكاء الاصطناعي.
